Ants & Success

I can recall it as if it was yesterday. I was a just a small boy reading through a magazine. My eyes became binoculars excitement kept me focused upon an advertisement about Ant cities. The more that I read the more the ad put me into trance stirring thoughts of owning my very own Ant city.

Ants have always been fascinating creatures that I loved. An ant city was just what I wanted. But would my parents agree was the real question. My curious adventure side went into overdrive. That is when I decided to create my own Ant city. Now I really had something. This would take me on an adventure that would make the experience that much more fulfilling.

So after finding a jar that I could put the ants in I gathered several from a tree outside my home. The next thing I did was gather dirt to pour inside of the vessel. Then I just observed their ways and actions.

Did you know ants know the secrets to being successful that anyone can apply in their lives right now. Here they are.

The Strength of Ants
Ants have a tremendous strength which allows them to carry twenty times their own body weight. Ants work better as a team than humans. Did U know their combined weight is greater than the combined weight of all humans? That's heavy!

How can we contrast this in our daily lives? Well first and foremost ants find their strength in exercising themselves and their abilities. The message is three-fold.

First exercise is extremely important to our health and success in life. Health is wealth.

Second exercising our abilities takes us into the realm of activity which soon bring us into the presence of achievement.

Third exercising physical strength is good but that is only surface. Mental strength, inner strength, and emotional are extremely important in being able to carry more than our own weight.

Ants Teamwork is Phenomenal
Ants have the uncanny ability to work together as a unit to accomplish the job at hand. Ants communicate through their antenna's. Each one having a specific task to do. Despite any differences they have they get the work done. Now with people it is different. We find so many reasons why we cannot work with each other effectively.

Ants are Extremely Productive Creatures
Ants are extremely productive creatures. They know what they have to do and they let nothing stop them from being productive and accomplishing their tasks. We can be the same way. We can accomplish this by keeping laser sharp focus on our objectives working towards them everyday and in every way.

Ants are Earth's Most Successful Creatures
Ants are known as earth's most successful creatures. I believe that they are successful because they remain consistent in giving their best when they are at work. They never lose focus and we should ever lose focus in achieving our dreams, objectives and quotas in life.

Ant's are never half-stepping. They always go hard. They are also master builders who dedicate their lives to their jobs the way athletes dedicate their lives to their sport.

We have to learn to be master builders who are always constructing the type of life that we want. Why should we have less than what we can build or wait for someone else to build it for us?

When I made my first Ant city I found out that no matter how much dirt I poured into that vessel they always drilled holes in the dirt making tunnels and rose above the dirt.

You can too by applying these principles to your life. No matter where you are in life you have the ability to rise above the dirt. Now get on your job and work towards being successful in all that you do.
