ON VALOR

"Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, .. This can only be by his (the individual) preferring truth to his past apprehension of truth, and his alert acceptance of it from whatever quarter." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

***********************************************************

We are entering the fourth quarter of the year. It's like rounding third base and heading for home. Will you achieve the goals you set for this year by December 31st or have you become distracted, derailed, or demoralized?

"After all is said and done, there is more said than done." - Anonymous

This is a time to evaluate, reflect, and, as Emerson said, recover. Often it's apprehension that causes us to shrink our goals to fit past wrappers rather than face the truth of impending success. Failure has its payoffs even though we deny it vehemently.

"Either we grow or we pay more for staying the same." - Norman Mailer

Disorganization is a truth for some. If it fits, ask why. Unexpected changes, sometimes catastrophic, can alter our direction. Plot a new course.

If you're on track, applaud. If not, don't waste time in self-recrimination. Examine the cause, regroup, and make plans. Three months remain. Use them wisely.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. What are the three most important things I want to achieve over the next three months - personally - professionally - or in my business?

2. What steps must I take to ensure my success?

3. How and when will I take those steps?

Hamlet said, "To be or not to be, that is the question." Your question is, to do or not to do? It's your choice. Go for the home run!
