What does it take to win? Attitude!
Color Commentary for Monday, May 15, 2017
By E. R. Haas

"Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force." ~ Tom Blandi
For the last month we have been talking about very broad topics: Hope... Freedom... Purpose... Values... Success (and what it takes to ACHIEVE it... and be HAPPY along the way.) No doubt, we have asked -- and answered -- the questions that lead to a life of passion, purpose and significance.
This week, we will narrow our focus to you personally, and what it takes to WIN at what you do. No "top of the funnel" thinking here... just real CLEAR advice on what it takes to unleash the winner within you.
Some Basic Advice...
How you approach life determines if you will ultimately succeed... or fail to produce the results you want.
Think a moment about what it takes to honestly win the Tour de France.
What puts winners ahead of the pack? From my perspective, it is outstanding TQ performance!
the 10 Colors of The Time Prism:
Is it their physical and mental ENERGY level? No doubt.
Is it their sense of purpose and MISSION? Yes.
Is it the GOAL and the team's PLAN to achieve it? Absolutely.
Is it the unrelenting focus and ability to PRIORITIZE the right moves? Sure.
Is it the ability to create powerful team-building SYNERGY? Yes, the team won... not just any given rider.
Is it the systematic ORGANIZATIONAL skills and ability to OPTIMIZE time? No question. You don't win anything without solid time management skills.
Is it the ability to consistently take bold ACTION to break out from the pack? Naturally.
Yes, these 9 Colors were all burning white hot. But that's not enough! If a rider permitted his ATTITUDE to go negative, at any point in the race, a perfect 10 on the other 9 Colors wouldn't matterbecause 9 x 0 is zero.
What gives winners the winning edge is ATTITUDE. The positive attitude to endure pain, frustration and setbacks.
Believe you will win.
Pay the price to win.
You will win.

A Fact of Life...
Your motivation to take action increases automatically when you imagine how great it will be when you succeed. The bigger, brighter, more immediate and more personal you can imagine the payoff, the greater your desire to pursue your goals. When you picture failure, you lose motivation to proceed. You focus on avoiding mistakes, rather than striving to do your best. This leads to a reduction in effort -- and an increase in desire -- to avoid a negative outcome.
Factor 3C's CONTRIBUTION to your performance...
A high commitment suggests you spend your time fulfilling your prophecy of success. Each day's progress -- large or small -- gets you closer to the goals you desire. Inspired by a beautiful dream, you maintain interest and internal drive -- even when things don't go well. With your eye on the prize, you keep hope alive for yourself and those around you -- and conquer the inevitable detours on the way to your desired destination.
Factor 3C's COST to your success...
A lack of commitment suggests you are someone who tends to predict failure and then live in fear that your prediction comes true. You only achieve a fraction of what you could, because all you tend to see are the things that could go wrong -- before you even begin. It's difficult for you to stay motivated toward big goals when all you see are the problems and pitfalls. You find it hard to take future steps, because you are relatively certain they're bound for failure. This means you give up too often when things get too rough.
The BENEFIT of choosing to do Factor 3C a bit more frequently: You have more power...
You leap at every opportunity to achieve your goals. You accumulate performance positives like "Enthusiastic, Eager and Inspired" -- immediately moving you towards the results you expect.
What happens when you FAIL to consistently do Factor 3C? You have less power...
Failure is always in the back of your mind, scaring you away from taking actions. Negatives like "Discouraged, Fearful and Doubtful" start to take their toll on your performance -- quickly moving you away from the success you want.
"There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do." ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
This week, do a REALITY check and an ATTITUDE check. Do you get the connection between your reality and your attitude?
For better or worse, they are inseparably linked.
Think about it. -- E.R. Haas, CEO

Some times it takes extra work

But more often, i slow down my pace, I dnt look forward to attain my duties, I lost vigor becuase of procrastinate nature.

I love your attitude! I agree that if we can catch ourselves in those certain moments and use the negative experience as a lesson and opportunity to grow, we are much better off than any alternative.
Keep up that great attitude and outlook...it's wonderful to read!

friendship is when people know all about you but like you anyway
i learned that under each hard shell there is something soft
people talk and gossip destroy the best things in life if we give them our ear to blow the poison in them.
Choice and Age
I need to be a person, who makes the right choices. I have been a person who thinks, I am making the correct choice, but after the venture, I am back at the starting line. Now I don't know what choice to make. It takes time to start over and now age is a factor. I use to never think this way. As we all mature in live (Age) it is more important to make better choices. At the same time the choice is more difficult to make.
WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE LATER IN LIFE?
Making choices regardless of outcome is part of life. Again, what you do with and how you respond (attitude) to those outcomes defines the quality of your life.
As for AGE; it's simply:
A=attaining
G=grace
E=eternally
Age is the by-product and summation of all you have done thus far.
My answer to that question: possibly, if I continue to build a positive attitude and "support" it with regular, disciplined action.
Because of a lack of focused action, the goal to see my ebook completed by September 1 is a real heavy stretch.
Great question as usual.

My divorce of 22 year marriage was final on thursday and now I will concentrate on my kids and moving forward with a great example in goal setting and achieving positive rewards.
I am stronger than ever.
I am almost finished with my written values and processing these to form my mission statement. I am reflecting on the roles in my life and seeing how to plan around what I REALLY VALUE!
CLARITY is wonderful.
Will it be possible to pick up the last two sessions the next time around?
This is the best program ever. I hope to be an affiliate as soon as I have completed this to an acceptable level of competency.

If you do not maintain a positive expectation for every action you take in the short run, you will consistently turn your gloom into doom. Instead of living your dreams, you will find yourself trapped inside a slow moving nightmare.
The message is simple: Finely tune your Attitude color because the alternative is a life of poor results, achieved with lots of hassles!
er
It is a huge driver of my overall success!

By reviewing some of my dreams and goals this afternoon I managed to turn my attitude around.
Also I recently purchased the success on purpose program and for the first time in a number of years I feel like I am making true progress toward my dreams and goals.
My prayer-several times daily, "Give me, Oh Lord the faith of Jesus." After asll, "Christ lives in me!" Galatians 2.20
Philippians 2.5.
A WOW Attitude -- Walking On Water!

These are very tough times to keep things moving forward.
I keep telling myself...
The opportunity is now...
I am the man...
I expect success!
er
yet, these are expenses i need to spend for - Paul's expenses in LA, ticket to Manila...
in the end, I am not able to send donations to the mentoring ministry, to Grateful hearts or to St. Theresa
I need to learn to budget and pay off credit card
I am capable of massive action simply because my systems all work to provide me with leverage that would be impossible without this high degree of automation and organization.
This is a great question for most people because they equate unfocused with disorganized.
Focus is a strategic issue. Organization is a tactical issue.
Get organized and watch your results over time soar!
er
The vision is the key to everything you
do, how you feel, how things will happen...
this alone gives you enough strength to reach
your goals...!!

P.S. I unawaringly screwed up big time on this
factor and suffered. It's still not too
to turn and i am sure the tide will be different this time! :-)
I want a vibrant US back. I am not selfish. I always think well-being of a nation is same as your well0being. How long we all can be selfish? In the end, I will leave my altruistic thoughts and have to move on. Because, negative thoughts have a timeline and that has passed me.

Attitude is running about 8-10 daily, so I see the future as all potential with few real barriers.
I hope and pray I am right!
