PERSONAL ALIGNMENT
As long as your desire to live right is at variance with your actions, you are a self-defeated human being.
A lack of personal alignment and personal congruence is a major reason for personal failure. The tendency to be one way in thinking or desire and another way in attitude and action destroys success. Self-deception is when you know what must be done, but you still do the opposite.
Even when you do the right thing with wrong thinking, success can’t be sustained. So many of us know what is right but we do what is wrong and our behavior constantly betrays our beliefs. Successful living, however, requires congruence and alignment. It requires that you are at ONE at all levels. i.e. How you think and how you act must be in tandem.
So, you can’t intend to be a hard worker and yet have a behavior that cherishes laziness and procrastination. You can’t want to be wealthy and yet have poverty perpetuating tendencies such as careless spending and habitual debt through constant borrowing.
Get yourself congruent. Don’t be your own worst enemy. Discipline yourself so that the great things you believe in and desire are in alignment with your attitude and your actions. To be healthy, think healthy, eat healthy and live healthy.
To be wealthy, think wealthy, and have wealth-building/ promoting behavior. To be a great achiever, embrace the principles of hard work mentally, in character, in attitude, and behavior.
