At the Top with Zig Ziglar

Zig Ziglar reminds us that:

You are at the top when . . .

You clearly understand that failure is an event, not a person,
that yesterday ended last night, and today is your brand new day.

You have made friends with your past, are focused on the present,
and optimistic about your future.

You know that success doesn’t make you and failure doesn’t break you.

You are filled with faith, hope and love; and live without anger,
greed, guilt, envy or thoughts of revenge.

You are mature enough to delay gratification and shift your focus
from your rights to your responsibilities.

You know that failure to stand for what is morally right is the
prelude to being the victim of what is criminally wrong.

You are secure in who you are, so you are at peace with God and
in fellowship with man.

You have made friends of your adversaries, and have gained the
love and respect of those who know you best.

You understand that others can give you pleasure, but genuine
happiness comes when you do things for others.

You are pleasant to the grouch, courteous to the rude and generous
to the needy.

You love the unlovable, give hope to the hopeless, friendship
to the friendless and encouragement to the discouraged.

You can look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in
compassion and up with gratitude.

You know that “he who would be the greatest among you must
become the servant of all.”

You recognize, confess, develop and use your God-given physical,
mental and spiritual abilities to the glory of God and for the
benefit of mankind.

You stand in front of the Creator of the universe and He says to
you, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”

See you over the top!
