Failing to plan is planning to fail.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO SELF-MASTERY : KAIZEN
Kaizen means constant and never ending improvement in Japanese. There is no pursuit more noble nor important than the pursuit of selfimprovement. As Confucius said many years ago: “good people strengthen themselves ceaselessly.” Consistent and constant improvement in all areas is essential to reaching your true potential. The personal trademark of almost every high achiever and successful person is a dedication to daily improvement in both their personal and professional lives. From Ben Franklin to Mahatma Ghandi, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Ivan Lendl and from Nelson Mandela to Mother Teresa, effective people do things daily to advance confidently in the direction of their goals and dreams. You must also apply the Kaizen principle on a daily basis to condition your mind to peak performance. It has been said that the mind is a terrible master but a wonderful servant. By seeking to improve your mind and condition it to excellence of thought, this wonderful servant will most certainly bring you all the peace, prosperity and joy you now search for. Study any great success story and you will undoubtedly learn of their commitment to Kaizen. They will be dedicated to small, daily improvements in the key areas of their lives and becoming the very best that they could be. Personal mastery is like a bank account, call it the Personal Excellence Account. By improving daily, whether it is by spending some time exercising, reading, visualizing or forging better relationships, you are making regular deposits into your account. After only one month, for example, you will have improved the richness and quality of your world by at least 30%. And after a single year, your life will have improved by more than 365% (factoring in the power of compound interest). But when you sleep too much, worry too much, watch television too much or eat too much, you make withdrawals in your Personal Excellence Account. Walt Stack, an 80 year-old man who runs the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge in California every day, come rain or shine, was asked how he kept his teeth from chattering on those cold mornings. “I leave them in my locker,” he replied wryly. To be great you must act great. Nothing can stop a person who refuses to be stopped. Yet most people spend their entire lives struggling for a little happiness against a current of problems or difficulties, hoping to see a small glimpse of blue sky against the mass of dark clouds which seem to blanket their lives. These people never realize the magic secret of true happiness: one must rise above the clouds to see the blue sky rather than constantly trying to push them aside. Clouds will always be there but anyone who conditions their mind and body to the correct degree will rise above any cloud to live with lasting bliss in the blue sky of life. Dedicate yourself to such selfenhancement each and every day of your life. Become a champion. Remember, happiness is a method of travelling through this wonderful world and not a destination, a place you arrive at in the future. A time will definitely come when your personal power takes you to a place
where you have real freedom and joy. This is a place where all dreams come true. This is the place of self-mastery. This is a place called MegaLiving!
