“The most successful people in this world maintain and master good habits. They realize what they do on a daily basis and where they direct their energy deeply matters when it comes to reaching their goals. The habits you have picked up over the past couple of years is a reflection of where you are right this moment” said Matt Mayberry, former NFL linebacker with the Chicago Bears and CEO of Matt Mayberry Enterprises.
Life is full of falling stones. Though such “disasters” seem to be unpredictable as to when they befall us, some of them seem to announce their presence as we go about our normal duties every day. Mine can come today or tomorrow, and yours the same. In all these, our ability to maintain a balance will absolutely determine our success.
Mayberry (2014) makes us understand that the horrible news is that most people do not have very good habits. However, the good news is if you are depressed and cannot maintain a perfectly balanced life where you are in your life, you can steadily alter the path by changing or modifying what you do on day-to-day basis (Mayberry, 2014), since the road to achieving high levels of success and fame is to begin to develop the habits of the highly successful.
Mr. Kese, I believe that there are some right principles that you can obey to cause greater things to happen on your sick bed or in the penitentiary or the reformatory that you find yourself now. The first thing you can do is to continue to focus your energy on your work as a musician. Learning how to direct your energy towards your most rewarding profession is crucial for achieving high levels of success in the industry no matter where and how you are confined. This is the time to weave your current experiences into writing and onward recording of great songs that will turn circumstances around. One of the biggest mistakes that many people make is directing their energy towards the creation of mental cobwebs. Mayberry recommends that you take a look at everything that is going on right now in your life, pay close attention and ask yourself what better things you can do at this moment ( which consist of those that have the potential to bring the most reward to you and your entertainment business).
Additionally, endeavor to prioritize the great things on your mind. Think of what is your most important goal right now and be aware that great achievers never lose sight of what their major goal is no matter what has happened to them, either it is their fault or someone’s fault. I recommend that you set your mind on doing something that will inch you closer to the achievement of your main goal, picturing yourself completely finishing your entertainment projects, and taking note of how you feel visualizing yourself getting the job done. Mayberry asserts that the more you can picture yourself following through and completing important tasks, the more determined you will be to actually do so.
Last but not least, I advise that you think right to positively affect your life, your family, and your fans. This is what we call Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). If you do nothing about any negative thought that may pop up in your current situation, the chances are that you will be settling for the average, Mayberry advises.
To conclude my message to you, I want to draw your attention to the fact that a great percentage of successful people like you have all experienced some sort of setback or failure. What therefore made them successful was that they had a positive mental attitude about themselves and their abilities, which gave them the power needed to continue along and achieve their goals. Your ability towards the creation of this sort of attitude could be one of your most significant lifestyles that you end up incorporating on a daily basis, Mayberry posits.
I wish you a speedy recovery from your sickness. Merry Christmas and good luck. Abodam!!!
