|

No one becomes successful by accident. | |
Success requires
making a plan and sticking to it. It is simple, but does require commitment;
it is not hard to do, but does require hard work. The good news is that
once you begin, the results start coming almost instantly. The miracle of
successful living is that the smallest step towards success attracts more
success! Here is a very brief outline of the key points that will help you
achieve the highest levels of success. |
|
1. |
Look into the
nearest mirror. The person staring back at you is the only person
responsible for your success. Smile! No one else is the cause of your
success or to blame for your short comings. Successful people take full
responsibility for their actions.
|
2. |
Smile back at your
reflection. Successful people are cheerful, optimistic, and forward
thinking. If you think you don't have anything to smile about, smile anyway.
Positive thoughts drive out negative thoughts. It's hard to have a negative
thought while you are smiling! |
3. |
Positive self-esteem
is the foundation for success. Feel good about yourself and your abilities,
achievements and potential. Don't dwell on your mistakes. Remind and praise
yourself on your past accomplishments. Congratulate yourself for taking
positive steps toward a more successful future. |
4. |
Believe in yourself.
You are here for a purpose. God doesn't make extras just to fill in the
scenery. Find your mission and begin working to fulfill it. |
5. |
Desire to be a success.
Decide right now that you will be successful. Commit to being successful.
|
6. |
Associate with successful
people. Do what they do. When faced with choices, make the choice a
successful person would make. Blow your bonus check on a gambling trip or
invest it? |
7. |
Avoid unsuccessful
people. Do not under any circumstances associate with negative people.
Negative people are toxic; they destroy, they do not build. They are vampires
that can live only by draining the life from others. The odds are greater
that they will pull you down faster than you can lift them up. You can choose
to stay away from all the negative people in your life. Avoid all the whiners,
complainers, blamers and thumbsuckers. |
8. |
Do what you are best
at and what you get the most satisfaction from. There is no reason to
stay stuck doing things that are frustrating, boring, unhealthy, unproductive,
demeaning or unfulfilling. |
9. |
Write down a vision
of how you want to live your life. Be specific. Where you want to live,
what kind of carpet, who your friends are, the pony's name, what the new
church rec hall you donated looks like, etc. Make a Future Scrapbook; paste
in pictures, drawings, essays, clippings. Make up news headlines about your
achievements. Every day visualize yourself as you would like to be - and
then act that way! |
10. |
Write down your biggest
goal, the one you most want to fulfill. Write it in the present tense,
"I am...", "I have...", "I contribute...". Success is the result of a personal
decision, so start your goal with "I". Read your goal aloud every morning
and night. Tell people your goal. Make a plan to achieve your goal and stick
to it. |
11. |
Study the science
of success. Read books, listen to tapes, watch videos and positive TV
programming. Talk to successful people and ask them how they became successful.
Fill your mind with positive thoughts and give yourself positive self-affirmations.
|
12. |
Every day do something
that brings you closer to your goal. Never give up. You can only fail
if you quit trying. Keep on keeping on and you will succeed. Achieving success
requires following a system. Begin today by putting these 12 points into
daily practice. |
Everybody experiences
fear of failure, uncertainty, insecurity, low self-esteem, indecision, depression,
nervousness and embarrassment. Successful people master these temporary
conditions by taking positive action, by sticking to their plan, by maintaining
their vision of the future, by learning from setbacks and by rededicating
themselves to the pursuit of their mission. By following these simple steps
you will become successful and achieve all that you desire. |
