What Are the Three Ingredients to a Good Life?
By Edward Lubrook
24 September 2009
I liked this quote so wanted to share it with you to empower your day. Author Christopher Morley said once that
“There are three ingredients in the good life:
learning, earning, and yearning.”
What a great insight. Yet did he have them in the right order?
I think they should be ‘yearning, learning and earning’
First we must ‘yearn’.
‘Yearning’ means ‘a persistent longing’. Your dreams that wont go away. Its the stuff you REALLY want. It hurts not having them. They are your true motivators of action for success. WHAT do you really ‘yearn’ for?
And then we must ‘learn’ BEFORE we ‘earn’.
97% of people in this business do not learn enough before they focus on earning. As they are incompetent they do not ‘earn’ enough to make them believe the business will satisfy their yearning. So they stop.
They do this stupidity because their upline does not know how to help someone learn properly. A skill called Coaching.
It is the ONLY reason.
[97% of] ‘People’ DO NOT learn on their own. The manuals, videos/DVDs, meetings dont give them enough. They need INDIVIDUAL COACHING. or they will fail to be a success as a team builder.
The word between ‘yearning’ [the reason why you joined this industry] and ‘earning’ [the income that will satisfy your 'yearning'] is ‘learning’…… never forget that.
What do you need to learn today?
