Comments on: Stimulus needs a re-think http://blog.womensnetwork.com.au/2009/02/09/stimulus-needs-a-re-think/ The Official Blog for Womens Network Australia Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:02:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jill Hutchison, LifeSuccess Coach http://blog.womensnetwork.com.au/2009/02/09/stimulus-needs-a-re-think/comment-page-1/#comment-657 Jill Hutchison, LifeSuccess Coach Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:15:06 +0000 http://blog.womensnetwork.com.au/?p=62#comment-657 I totally agree with your comments - the bush fires certainly put things in perspective! Over the last few weeks I've been thinking how important it is to focus on positive things - how fortunate we are in so many ways. A quote from Napoleon Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" is so pertinent to anyone who is experiencing a disaster or challenge in their life: While he is talking mainly of financial success, it is equally relevant in all areas of our lives. "Before success comes in anyones life, that individual is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a person, the easiest and most logical thing to do is quit. That is exactly what the majority of people do. More than 500 of the worlds most successful individuals have told me that their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach." Every great speaker, teacher or motivator can point back to a time in their lives where it felt like the darkest or worst disaster, and the very next step after that was a time of great happiness, success and joy.
