If you envy successful people, you create a
negative force field of attraction that repels you
from ever doing the things that you need to do to
be successful. If you admire successful people,
you create a positive force field of attraction
that draws you toward becoming more and more like
the kinds of people that you want to be like.

The test of a successful person is not an ability
to eliminate all problems before they arise, but
to meet and work out difficulties when they do
arise. We must be willing to make an intelligent

before taking action. It's still good advice to
cross bridges as we come to them.
