The Secret Talisman Grandma Gave You



As I was checking the back office for my stats and doing some personal research on Personal Growth, I wondered what would be a good follow up to my last few articles?

If you have read my most recent blogs and articles, you know the theme is "Persistence". We went beyond Persistence with a discussion of Desire. We then visited the Subconscious Mind and Goal Setting. But, what is that thing that stands in back of them all? What can move you without any doubts and fears about the possible outcome?

Now, we get to the one thing that will determine the extent of your Persistence. This is the key to you persisting in the face of your fear. This is that Master Key to open the door to your Self Confidence. What is that thing?

I cannot say just yet.

I will give you the story of "the Talisman". (An excerpt from, The Secret of the Ages, by Robert Collier)

"Do you remember the picture Harold Lloyd was in some years ago, showing a country boy who was afraid of his shadow? Every boy in the countryside bedeviled hm. Until one day his grandmother gave him a talisman, that she assured him his grandfather had carried through the Civil War and which, so she said, had the property of making its owner invincible. Nothing could hurt him, she told him, while he wore this talisman. Nothing could stand up against him. (key=>) He believed her! And the next time the bully of the town started to cuff him around, he wiped up the earth with him. And that was only the start. Before the year was out he had made a reputation as the most daring soul in the community.

Then, when his grandmother felt he was thoroughly cured, she told him the truth---that the 'talisman' was merely a piece of old junk she had picked up by the roadside----that she knew all he needed was FAITH IN HIMSELF, belief that he could do these things."

What is the moral story?

Many of us know that we can rarely 'do' a thing, without 1st believing that we can do it.

MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION:
How many of us live life with this type of Faith?

When it comes to creating and building a business, we need this type of faith. Especially in the begining. Especially in the Network Marketing or Direct Selling industry.

Here is another question, that warrants deep thought. What if you knew that the Network Marketing Co. you chose, had created many top earners? Would that add to your belief? What if you knew that the Industry of Direct Selling/Network Marketing had produced "Hundreds" of Home-based Business Millionaires?

Well, you alreay know that. And if you don't, you can verify what I am saying. Right now the Direct Selling/Network Marketing Industry generates over 30 BILLION DOLLARS per year! And over 100 BILLION DOLLARS WORLDWIDE!

TRUTH:
You can only do what you believe that you can do.

This applies to Business as well as to Life.

In Business, you believe in the System that your company has created to produce Success. In life, you believe in the Universal Laws or Spiritual Laws, that have been handed down by the 'Greatest Teachers' known to man.

Next, you believe that you can learn the system and follow it. Which is just another way of saying I have confidence that 'I' can learn the system. I trust that I can start from where I am, and gain the knowledge and skill I need, if I PERSISTENTLY PRACTICE.

As Zig Ziglar puts it, 'Anything worth doing is worth doing badly at first.'

You don't have to believe me. Test what you have seen here in your life. You can verify it for yourself.
