<p>The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. - Ralph Waldo Emerson</p>

I am a Raving fan of Lou Tice and the Pacific Institute, I have been able to start and grow a business by using the strategies and teachings from Lou Tice. It was very effective in coaching athletes, sales people and friends to new levels of success and understanding. "Investment In Excellence for the '90s" was my first introduction to the powerful information... when I studied with purpose I was able to increase my efficacy.<br />

<br />
Nice to run into someone else who knows Lou. It's because of what I have assimilated by way of the Pacific Institute that I am able to coach and mentor others focusing on business leaders / entreprenuers whether they are running a business or have become a victim do to the current market conditions.<br />

Other than some very old [and still cherished] friends who sat through the sessions with me in 1984 I have only met one person since who was familiar with Lou Tice and his work.<br/><br/>Are familiar with Lou Tice? I think he fell out of vogue at some point and the Pacific Institute was labeled a cult.<br/><br/>Lou Tice had some really interesting perspectives on success and how to overcome the self-limiting beliefs that inhibit one's ability to realize their potential. Also, as you say, goal setting was a critical component in his programming, positive self-talk and an affirmation/visualization process too.<br/><br/><cite>Steve Levy said:</cite><blockquote cite="http://www.recruitingblogs.com/forum/topics/wednesday-wisdom-the-quest?x=1&id=502551%3ATopic%3A584156&page=1#502551Comment586193"><div>What I'm sensing is that Struggling hasn't identified specific goals. Take a look at this:<br/><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><img style="_width: true" height="437" alt="" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1442310533?profile=original" width="553"/></p>
With the center as Zero and the outside of the circle as Ten, where do you fall <i>right now</i> relative to your ultimate goal on each of the axes. However you want to define each axis - this is your choice. When done, connect the points on the axes and ask yourself - if this were a table top and the points defined the position of the legs, how stable a table would it be?<br/><br/>The point here is that you have seven opportunities each day - one in each area - to make an improvement, or 49 opportunities to improve each week. Improvements aren't quantum leaps; they are incremental movements towards a goal.<br/><br/>But you have to start by identifying goals...</div>

What would you do for the sheer, unbridled joy of simply doing it?<br />

Success is not tangible. It's not a number, it's not an item. Success is experience.<br />

Success is not tangible. It's not a number, it's not an item. Success is experience.<br />
<br />
Life is trial and error. You have to try things to know if it's a good idea or not. Of course, educating yourself before you make your decisions is a wise approach but even then, sometimes you just don't know until you try. You make your mistakes, you claim your victories and you just keep moving. Expect nothing, appreciate everything and keep moving.<br />
<br />
I know a lot of good, smart people who sit around talking about what they want but never try anything out. They'll never be successful until they give it a try, no matter how good their ideas are and truly you're doing yourself and the world around you a great disservice if you don't value your ideas and put them into action. If cavemen hadn't tried smashing rocks together and rubbing sticks together we'd all be pretty cold, if not completely extinct.<br />
<br />
On my computer I have a sticky note that reads: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." -Winston Churchill.
