Laws of Attraction

We attract to ourselves not what we want but what we are. The old phrase, "Birds of a
feather flock together," holds true.
Negative thinkers are dangerous. They attract other negative people, react negatively,
expect the worst and they are not disappointed.
Have you observed how at any social occasion successful people attract other
successful people? Failures attract other failures, and together they will moan, groan and
complain.
Our friends are not the kind of people we want but the kind of people we are.

9. Unwillingness to Plan and Prepare

Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.

--Vince Lombardi

Most people spend more time planning a party or vacation than planning their lives.

Preparation

Confidence comes from preparation, which is nothing but planning and practicing.
Winners put pressure on themselves. That is the pressure of preparing and not worrying
about winning.
If we practice poorly, we play poorly; because we play as we practice. The difference
between success and failure is the difference between doing exactly right and almost
right.
A complete mental and physical preparation is the result of sacrifice and self-discipline. It
is easy to be average but tough to be the best. No wonder the average people take the
easy way.
Preparation is the necessary edge to succeed in any field.

Purpose + Principle + Planning + Practice + Perseverance + Patience + Pride =
Preparation

Preparation leads to Confidence

Preparation means tolerating failure but never accepting it. It means having the courage
to face defeat without feeling defeated, being disappointed without being discouraged.
Preparation means learning from our mistakes. There is nothing wrong with making
mistakes. We all do. A fool is one who makes the same mistake twice. A person who
makes a mistake and doesn't correct it, commits a bigger one.
The best way to handle a mistake is to

♦ admit it quickly
♦ not dwell on it
♦ learn from it
♦ not repeat it
♦ not assign blame or make excuses
