To succeed in life

Inspiration

I subscribe to a daily email from Brian Tracy that gives me an inspirational quote every day. I do enjoy reading most of these quotes and am sometimes actually inspired by them. Occasionally, I even save them. This one really hit home when I opened it the other day:

I am a self-admitted perfectionist of the variety that lets his/her perfectionism stand in the way of completion and/or aid and abet in the act of procrastination. There, I’ve said it. These are words I can use to bolster my attempts at getting anything done. The key word here is: DONE. Thank you Chin-Ning Chu by way of Brian Tracy.

Author Chin-Ning Chu

Upon reading this quote for the first time I did not recognize the name of Chin-Ning Chu, so I looked her up. It turns out that her books have been recommended to me by multiple persons. Ms. Chu was an internationally-renowned speaker and bestselling author of books such as: The Art of War for Women  and  Do Less, Achieve More . She died in December of cancer and will be missed for her strong female voice amid the overbearing din of male voices in the business world. I am looking forward to reading and reviewing  Do Less, Achieve More . This sounds like a principle I could live by . . .

And what (besides yoga and sex) will give you a radiant glow besides success?
