A Bug's Life: Applying the Success Principles of Ants
Have you ever seen a trail of ants going from one
destination to another? They seem to
have a great sense of direction and are intensely focused on where they are
going and what needs to get done. Even
though ants are responsible for so many tasks, they always seem to accomplish
everything they set out to do. Because of
their success principles, if ants were human, they would be the most successful
group of people on the planet. So how is
it possible that such a tiny creature can achieve so much?
I once heard speaker Jim Rohn talk about the ant philosophy. He explained their ability to never give up
and how they prepare for the future. I
decided to take a closer look the ant and found that there are many more principles
that they live by that, if applied to the human life, would almost guarantee
success.

Building Self-Discipline
Why does it seem like every time you commit to changing a
bad habit, something happens that tests just how committed you are? You start a diet, and then you get a call
from a friend who wants to go to your favorite restaurant. Or sometimes you promise yourself you are
going to immediately start on an assignment that has to get done but you end up
procrastinating until the very last minute?
These types of things are common and one of the major reasons why they
occur to all of us is due to the lack of self-discipline |

their job, excels in athletics, intelligent, and can even play an
instrument. Or maybe they are very artistic, social, good with
numbers, and able to learn a new skill or task with seemingly no effort.

...Dealing with Negative People and Dreamkillers
Why does it seem like every time you try to accomplish something
there is always someone there who is waiting to try to stop you? The reason is because there is always someone there. Dream Killers are people who wait for an
opportunity to squash any attempts you make at success. Those unfortunate individuals who have been
blinded by their own failures take joy in leveling what you aspire to achieve. |
Develop Mental Toughness
What is the difference between someone who is a
champion and someone who is the runner-up? What makes someone able to
look an impossible situation in the face and willingly conquer it?
It’s the same thing that Super Bowl MVP’s, successful
CEO’s, and leaders of all types posses. It is something that you
should posses! |
Bounce Back After Failure
One of the best learning tools that are available to us as
human beings is also the same tool that we are most afraid of.
It’s interesting how even the thought of failing at even the simplest
task can prevent most people from even attempting that task. In
the greater scope of achieving life goals, the fear of failure is an enormous
hurdle for most people to jump. The truth is failure cannot be
avoided forever. Those who attempt to flee from it their entire
lives almost certainly miss great opportunities and even greater rewards. |
Hunter, Scavenger, or Prey: Which life are you living?
Most people wonder endlessly about why their lives are the way they
are. Being stuck in a job that they hate, staying in an unhealthy
relationship, or never really achieving their purpose in life. These
may be the results of living a life that lacks courage, individuality,
and an unwillingness to aggressively pursue a better life. Instead of
having the courage to face their adversities, question the direction
their lives are headed in, and actively seek true success, they opt to
wander the earth with no real ambition and a lack of purpose which
leads them to be a victim of their own actions. |

Dreaming of Success
In his song “I
Never Had a Dream Come True,” Stevie Wonder sings about a love that is perfected
in his dreams. When he dreams about his unrequited love, he is in paradise and
vows never to stop dreaming all the while pleading to us, the listener, to “keep
on dreamin’”. Indeed Mr. Wonder is fond of his daydreams and he is not the only
one. Frank Sinatra encourages us to “dream when the day is through” while
Aerosmith shouts “dream on, dream on, dream until your dreams come true”. With
all this dreaming going on, is there any work getting done? |
Fight Your Fear Factor
Just like love and passion, fear is an emotion that is necessary in life. No one is immune from encountering some sort of fear. The types of fears that you allow in your life, however, may be preventing you from doing the things that you really want to do. These
fears are unhealthy fears and most of us have probably been carrying
them around for so long that we don’t even acknowledge their presence
anymore. |
Everlasting Motivation
I’m sure you’ve been there. You have a goal in mind that you are
excited about reaching. Maybe you finally decided to lose weight or you
are inching towards the place you want to be in your career. But as the
time goes, so does your motivation and drive. We all need motivation in
order to complete our goals and insure our success |
Turn Potential Into Success
Do you know someone with an extraordinary talent?
Maybe that person is a gifted athlete, artist, or musician.
Or perhaps that person has a mind for business, is a master with
numbers, or knows precisely how to handle people. Although this
person has these gifts that some people would die for, they never seem to use
their gift to help them reach their full potential. Or maybe they
are applying their skills but just can’t seem to get past a certain level of
accomplishment. Maybe you know someone like that.
Maybe that someone is you. |
