Webster's dictionary says that an unnatural act is one that is not in accordance with normal feelings and behavior. Successful people constantly defy normal feelings and behavior and do things the average person will not do. The average person lives for today. The successful person lives for tomorrow. Most of us want instant rewards, and we are satisfied to accept less as long as the gratification is immediate. Success driven people are willing to forgo the normal need for immediate feedback and trade it for a greater return in the future. This is probably one reason why so many of us have a problem saving for the future. People who have financial success at retirement are those who put a certain amount away every week to build a nest egg. The rest of us want everything now and buy the latest electronic device with our money. Living for the future is an unnatural act in our credit driven society, but successful people do it all the time. Weird, aren't they? Another unnatural act of successful people is that they are always active; they do not spend much time resting or just ying around. In America, which has been characterized as a nation of "couch potatoes," this penchant for activity certainly has to be considered an unnatural act. A study of successful business executives showed that they had at least three things in common-that were not so common. They had a regular daily exercise program, they slept an average of six hours each night, and they arose at an average hour of 5:45 a.m., seven days a week. I don't know about you, but getting up that early for anything but a fishing trip is an unnatural act for me. But armed with this knowledge and a desire to be successful, I'm getting up a few minutes earlier each morning, and using the time to exercise. The average person always finds it easier, and in many ways more natural, to learn to live with less than to exert the effort to earn more. Doing what the average person does will always keep us an average person. It is only when we do those things (socially acceptable things) that other people will not do that we will be successful. It will certainly mean that we will not always be comfortable, complacent, or safe. At times, we assuredly will be out of step with those around us. But if we persist, believe in ourselves, and are consistent in our efforts, we can become a success in whatever area we choose. We can have rewards that are far beyond those achieved by persons who remain average.
