# Summary of the Book “Say ‘YES’ to your Potential” – Part Three (by ‘Skip’ Ross with Carole C. Carlson)
Introduction: Craig has been studying the amazing powers of the human mind, as well as the “secrets of success” for the past two decades. This article (in point form for brevity) is largely based on my notes from a most inspiring and uplifting book by an American by the name, “Skip” Ross from many years ago (however the principles, I believe, are eternal truths). I am sharing this summary, the contents of the Amway man’s work in the spirit of encouraging and hopefully even inspiring those people, who really want to reach their full potentials, achieving their dreams in life, whatever they may be “to just GO FOR IT”.
Thank you sincerely, “Skip” and Carole for sharing (with humour even though quite “religious”) your most uplifting words of wisdom in encouraging me to follow my passion and to reach for my personal dreams. I (in turn) am passing them on through the amazing power of the www, as my dream is helping others to realise their personal dreams in life.
Now on the article (at long last!)… * Dynamic living is continually in the process of accomplishing worthwhile goals.
Setting goals and pursuing them is exciting. Have a goal, look ahead, not back on previous experiences – as in the life of Jesus. Utilise the process of goal-setting. Decide what we want – what we want to do or be – then set the goal. Don’t look at the past; when we set goals on the basis of yesterday’s experience, we limit the future by the past.
We are goal orientated creatures. When the goal is set and you commit yourself to that goal, you will find a way to make it become reality.
Success: is it a destination or a journey? To be without a goal is to die psychologically. However, balance in life is the key. God has given us the equipment to achieve that kind of living. So start for the top and say, “I can.” The collected verses of Edgar A Guest.
3. Einstein said that the average person uses only 2 of his or her intellectual capacity. William James said 10. At best it’s 15. Often that great potential within each one of us is summoned at a point of crisis, and very seldom at any other time. We are richly endowed by God. There are so many things we can do, if we use what God gives us. The poet Robert Browning once said: “My business is not to remake myself, but to make the absolute best of what God has made.”
God made you a genius with supernatural potential.
4. GIVE and you will receive.
Life is meant to be lived to the utmost. Ecclesiastes 7:13: “See the way the Creator does things and fall into line. Don’t fight the facts of nature.”
Plant seeds of LOVE, not hate. The Living Bible says: “For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give – large or small – will be used to measure what is given back to you (Luke 6:36).” One thing we can all give – a word of praise .
Proverbs 16:24: “Kind words are like honey – enjoyable and healthful.” Give the word of praise for 90 consecutive days, and it will change your life. What you give you will receive, and in the process of receiving praise, you will be encouraged and become a better person. Expect – be open to receive, when it comes. By watering others, we water ourselves.
“If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, Helps you on your way to go, Find the one whose hand helped you, Seek him out and tell him so.”
A man is known by the company he keeps (or should it be avoids). George Washington: “Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone, than in bad company.” We can’t afford negative people in our lives.
“Tune out negative voices from without and within” – American baseball legend, Babe Ruth
Concentrate (center) on your strengths and never allow your weaknesses to detract from what you do best. We need to control what goes into the subconscious mind; because it is limited in its ability to perform by the raw materials that we give it (like sowing seeds in a garden). Do selective reading/viewing by using the principle of EXCLUSION. Get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want in your life.
BE happy and have great fun along the journey of life.

“True success is just being the person you really want to be.”
“The task ahead of you can always be overcome by the power within you…and the often seemingly difficult or even “impassible”) path ahead of you is never as steep with the great spirit that lies within you.”
“Our talents are our gift to God… but what we do with our talents are our gifts TO God.”
“God creates us with different gifts. Each one of us comes into the world with a different collection of life circumstances that often severely challenge us, things that give us joy and in expressing our talents allow us to bless the people, the world around us.”

Here are 10 universal principles that can be the key to unlocking your full potential. The PRINCIPLES of:
1. GIVING: Give and you receive… and EVERYONE has something to give.
2. EXCLUSION: Get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want to flow into your life.
3. CREATION: Decide what you want, define it clearly, then write it down.
4. VISUALISATION: Get a clear mental picture of your most earnest desires, fill it with emotion and hold onto it.
5. COMMAND: Whatever you speak, that’s what is going to happen. So watch out what you say!
6. ACTION: DO it NOW!
7. FAITH: The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith tears down walls and builds bridges of hope. But how does this apply in a practical sense?
8. ENTHUSIASM: Give everything you’ve got to everything you do.
9. SELF DISCIPLINE: Do what needs to be done, when it should be done, whether you like it or not.
10. PERSISTENCE. Say. “I will…until”.

* SAY ‘YES’ TO YOUR POTENTIAL (PART ONE) by ‘SKIP’ ROSS (with Carole C.Carlson)
Skip Ross’s Magic Formula for Dynamic Living unfolds the secrets of a life filled with joy and happiness.
Here are 10 universal principles that can be the key to unlocking your full potential. The PRINCIPLES of:
1. GIVING: Give and you receive… and EVERYONE has something to give.
2. EXCLUSION: Get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want to flow into your life.
3. CREATION: Decide what you want, define it clearly, then write it down.
4. VISUALISATION: Get a clear mental picture of your most earnest desires, fill it with emotion and hold onto it.
5. COMMAND: Whatever you speak, that’s what is going to happen. So watch out what you say!
6. ACTION: DO it NOW!
7. FAITH: The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith tears down walls and builds bridges of hope. But how does this apply in a practical sense?
8. ENTHUSIASM: Give everything you’ve got to everything you do.
9. SELF DISCIPLINE: Do what needs to be done, when it should be done, whether you like it or not.
10. PERSISTENCE. Say. “I will…until”.
“You are today what you want to be.” We use only 10 of our potential – the other 90 “might have been”. We have been endowed by God with incredible abilities, that if tapped would produce a dynamic style of life.
* You are a genius.
* GIVE and you receive far more.
* Turn your dreams into reality: What is your burning desire?
* SPEAK your most earnest desires into existence: Verbalise your future, as this releases energy.
* BELIEVE it before you see it.
* Do it UNTIL.
* *
THE STEPS:
1. Understand the source of your self image.
2. Believe your self image can be changed.
3. Decide what kind of person you WANT to be.
4. Write it (this picture/image) down.
5. Spend time with the person you want to be…this is the challenge.
6. Whatever a person focuses their thoughts on becomes reality in their life. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs
“God gives us each day to use as we will. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place we have traded for it. The day can be used for gain, not loss, for good, not evil, for success, not failure. We can waste time worrying about what might happen, or fretting about what did happen. If we want time, we have to make it.”
“The measure of our accomplishments in life is not a measure of time that we have to do things; but it’s a measure of what we do with the time we have, with the talents we have.”
Louis Pascal once said: “Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday. You are today where the thoughts of yesterday have brought you and you will be tomorrow, where the thoughts of today take you.”
You can be a different kind of person, you can be any kind of person you choose to be. You are responsible for your own attitudes and the kind of life you are living. There are two kinds of people: positive and negative. Always be open – reasons why things change – we tend to seek the comfort of the familiar; therefore change is painful and we tend to resist it.
” I’m planting a seed like a farmer. I challenge you to do more than you have ever done before in your life, to be more than you have ever dreamed you could be. To do more than you thought you could do, I’m challenging you to become ALL you were created to be. I know it’s possible. I became more than what I was ” – “Skip” Ross. * Your dreams can become reality and you can become all you were created to be.
BE happy and have great fun along the journey
