FASCINATING
Successful people have tremendous clarity about
who they are, what they want, and how they are going to get it. Unsuccessful people usually
are unsure and confused about who they are, what they want, and where they are going.

Maslow says the same thing about psychologically healthy/successful people having clarity. He
says that whereas the average individuals “often have not the slightest idea of what they are, of
what they want, of what their own opinions are,” self-actualizing individuals have “superior
awareness of their own impulses, desires, opinions, and subjective reactions in general.”

Successful people think about what they want and
how to get it most of the time. As a result of this mental focus, they accomplish much more than
the average person, even though they may have started with no particular advantages.

Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, tend to think and talk about what they don’t want
most of the time. They think and talk about who they are mad at and who is to blame for their
problems most of the time. They don’t understand why their lives don’t improve even though
they have been working as long as others. They slip into the habit of thinking and talking even
more about their problems and who is to blame, thereby making the situation worse.”

Know thyself — have vision — be disciplined — make it happen.
