Are these your characteristics of success?

Success depends upon our having eager minds rather than being satisfied with just turning the pages of the calendar.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EAGER MIND

1.      Promptness.  The eager mind is known for enthusiasm.  It is better for the pot to boil over than not to boil at all.

2.      Spirit of inner happiness.  This is found through a personal association with the Christ.  Jesus said, “The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.”  John 6:63

3.      Generous.  After all, “…for God loves a cheerful giver.”

4.      Steady and Persevering.  God will not examine us for medals but for scars obtained in active service.

FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

“Professionals can do their best whether they feel like it or not.”  What we call life is for “professionals” not “amateurs.”

Success in almost any business endeavor is caused more by mental attitudes than by mental capacities.

When your work day seems so long…remember that if you want to turn hours into minutes, renew your enthusiasm.

Formula for success:  “When the rock is hard, we get harder than the rock.  When the job is tough, we get tougher than the job.”

“Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city.”     Ecclesiastes 7:19
