©Lee Wise, 2002 Here's a winning combination for successful living: creativity, compensation and diligence. Master these and you will be well on your way to mastering the demands of life! CREATIVITY Creativity says, "I'll research, discover, and look for ideas of all kinds with only one question in mind, 'Will this make it work?'" Creative thinking assists in attaining goals, discovering solutions to the challenges of life, and in "making life enjoyable." Many difficult problems or "life roadblocks" can be overcome by first thinking in creative ways! COMPENSATION Compensation says, "I'll get help! Whatever, however and whoever is needed -- I will get the help!" No one is strong enough, wise enough, has all the answers or completely understands the situation. True success in life means continually compensating for what "lacks" I discover in myself and others. Two key words related to compensation are *quality resources.* I compensate by discovering and utilizing the right resources. DILIGENCE Diligence says, "I'll work. Pure, plain and simple. I will work at *whatever* is needed. I will work *whenever* it ...
... is needed. You can count on it!" Diligence -- consistent, focused effort is the power behind creativity and compensation. Diligence provides the "fuel" to be creative in your thinking. It drives you to compensate when needed. And it provides the "follow through" that must take place if anything is to work. AND THE WINNER IS ... The success trio of creativity, compensation and diligence. ============================================= A QUICK ACTION STEP! ============================================= Choose one small action step to work on in one of these three areas. "My creativity action step is ...." "My compensation action step is ..." "My diligence action step is ..." No, it ain't good grammar but it could give you good results ;) ============================================= Lee is a Seminary administrator, has a part- time business at home, and writes his own free motivational mailing.
