Know For Yourself

Ever wonder what the difference is between people who are successful and people who are not successful?

SUCCESS IS EASY (an excerpt from "The Challenge to Succeed Seminar")

People often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not.  The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.  I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life.  They found it easy not to.  I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking and my ideas.  They found that easy not to.  I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars, and to get around other successful people.  They said it probably really wouldn't matter.  If I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.  Six years later, I'm a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy, the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to do the basic easy things.

The Seventh Decision for Success

Here is the last decision for success that is copied from The Traveler'sGift on pages 165 to 167. 

I will persist without exception.

Knowing that I have already made changes in my life that will last forever, today I insert the final piece of the puzzle.  I possess the greatest power ever bestowed upon mankind, the power of choice.  Today, I choose to persist without exception.  No longer will I live in a dimension of distraction, my focus blown hither and yon like a leaf on a blustery day.  I know the outcome I desire.  I hold fast to my dreams.  I stay the course.  I do not quit.

I will persist without exception.  I will continue despite exhaustion.

I acknowledge that most people quit when exhaustion sets in.  I am not "most people."  I am stronger than most people.  Average people compare themselves with other people.  That is why they are average.  I compare myself to my potential.  I am not average.  I see exhaustion as a precursor to victory.

How long must a child try to walk before he actually does so?  Do I not have more strength than a child?  More understanding?  More desire?  How long must I work to succeed before I actually do so?  A child would never ask the question, for the answer does not matter.  By persisting without exception, my outcome-my success- is assured.

I will persist without exception.  I focus on results.

To achieve the results I desire, it is not even necessary that I enjoy the process.  It is only important that I continue the process with my eyes on the outcome.  An athlete does not enjoy the pain of training; an athlete enjoys the results of having trained.  A young falcon is pushed from the nest, afraid and tumbling from the cliff.  The pain of learning to fly cannot be an enjoyable experience, but the anguish of learning to fly is quickly forgotten as the falcon soars to the heavens.

A sailor who fearfully watches stormy seas lash his vessel will always steer an unproductive course.  But a wise and experienced captain keeps his eye firmly fixed upon the lighthouse.  He knows that by guiding his ship directly to a specific point, the time spent in discomfort is lessened.  And by keeping his eye on the light, there never exists one second of discouragement.  My light, my harbor, my future is within sight!

I will persist without exception.  I am a person of great faith.

In Jeremiah, my Creator declares, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  From this day forward, I will claim a faith in the certainty of my future.  Too much of my life has been spent doubting my beliefs and believing my doubts.  No more!  I have faith in my future.  I do not look left or right.  I look forward.  I can only persist. 

For me, faith will always be a sounder guide than reason because reason can only go so far-faith has not limits.  I will expect miracles in my life because faith has no limits.  I will expect miracle in my life because faith produces them every day.  I will beleive in the future that I do not see.  That is faith.  And the reward of this faith is to see the future that I believed.

I will continue despite exhaustion.  I focus on results.  I am a person of great faith. 

I will persist without exception.

The Sixth Decision for Success

This is an excerpt from the book the Travelers Gift on page 138 to 140. The sixthe decision for success is to greet this day with a forgiving spirit.

For too long, every ounce of fogiveness I owned was loacked away, hidden from view, waiting for me to bestow its precious presence upon some worthy person.  Alas, I found most people to be singularly unworthy of my valuable forgiveness, and since they never asked for any.  I kept it all for myself.  Now, the forgiveness that I hoarded has sprouted inside my heart like a crippled seed yielding bitter fruit.

No more!  At this moment, my life has taken on new hope and assurance.  Of all the world's population, I am one of the few possessors of the secret to dissipating anger and resentment.  I now understand that forgiveness has value only when it is given away.  By the simple act of granting forgiveness, I release the demons of the past about which I can do nothing, and I create in myself a new heart, a new beginning.

I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit.  I will forgive even those who do not ask for forgiveness.

Many are the times when I have seethed in anger at a word or deed thrown into my life by an unthinking or uncaring person.  I have wasted valuable hours imagining revenge or confrontation.  Now I see the truth revealted about this psychological rock inside my shoe.  The rage I nurture is often one-sided, for my offender seldom fives thoughts to his offense!

I will now and forevermore silently offer my forgiveness even to those who do not see that they need it.  By the act of forgiving, I am no longer consumed by unproductive thoughts.  I give up my bitterness.  I am content in my soul and effective again with my fellowman.

I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit.  I will forgive those who criticize me unjustly.

Knowing that slavery in any form is wrong, I also know that the person who lives a life according to the opinion of others is a slave.  I am not a slave.  I have chosen my counsel.  I know the difference between right and wrong.  I know what is best for the future of my family, and neither misguided opinion nor unjust criticism will alter my course.

Those who are critical of my goals and dreams simply do not understand the higher purpose to which I have been called.  Therefore, their scorn does not affect my attitude or action.  I forgive their lack of vision, and I forge ahead.  I now know that criticism is part of the price paid for leaping past mediocrity.

I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit.  I will forgive myself.

For many years, my greatest enemy has been myself.  Every mistake, every miscalculation, every stumble I made has been replayed again and again in my mind.  Every broken promise, every day wasted, every goal not reached has compounded the disgust I feel for the lack of achievement in my life.  My dismay has developed a paralyzing grip.  When I disappoint myself, I respond with inaction and become more disappointed.

I realize today that it is impossible to fight an enemy living in my head.  By forgiving myself, I erase doubts, fears, and frustration that have kept my past in the present.  From this day forward, my history will cease to control my destiny.  I have forgiven myself.  My life has just begun.

I will forgive even those who do not ask for forgiveness.  I will forgive those who criticize me unjustly.  I will forgive myself.

I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit.

Jack Canfield: Don't be afraid to ask for what you want

Jack Canfield was one of the people that was recognized in the Secret.  He motivates people through his Chicken Soup for the Soul series and has several clips that I will be sharing on this blog.  In this clip he talks about how when you want to do something really bad that you have to be a little terrified.  He mentions that you do not have to give into this fear, but rather you need to feel it.  Once you feel it, then you can acknowledge it by making a statement.  Our fear is only created by ourselves and when we can recognize that for what it is, then we can free ourselves to reach our dreams. 

True Secret to Success - How Bad do you Want it

I was completely inspired when I saw this clip of Eric Thomas speaking to some students at Michigan State University about the true secret to success.  He inspires people to think about how bad they want things.

How successful do you want to be?  Eric says that if you want to be successful then you need to give up sleep.  You need to want success as much as you want to breathe. 

Eric tells these students that they need to make choices in life.  He tells them that they need to want be successful more than watching t.v. and talking with their friends.  How bad do you want to be successfu?  Do you have the will and desire to be successful?

This will and desire is exactly what Eric is alluding as being the true secret to success.  That is all it takes is a strong desire and right actions.  This is the most important ingredient that you need.  Take a look at this video and be ready to be truly inspired.

The Fifth Decision for Success

Happiness and gratitude go hand in hand.  This is an excerpt from the Traveler's Gift on page 108-110 and it reveals the 5th decision for success.

Today I will choose to be happy.

Beginning this very moment, I am a happy person, for I now truly understand the concept of happiness.  Few others before me have been able to grasp the truth of the physical law that enables one to live happily every day.  I know now that happiness is not an emotional phantom floating in and out of my life.  Happiness is a choice.  Happiness is the end result of certain thoughts and activities, which actually bring about a chemical reaction in my body.  This reaction results in a euphoria that, while elusive to some, is totally under my control.

Today I will choose to be happy.  I will greet each day with laughter.

Within moments of awakening, I will laugh for seven seconds.  Even after such a small period of time, excitement has begun to flow through my bloodstream.  I feel different.  I am different!  I am enthusiastic about the day.  I am alert to its possibilities.  I am happy!

Laughter is an outward expression of enthusiasm, and I know that enthusiasm is the fuel that moves the world.  I laugh throughout the day.  I laugh while I am alone, and I laugh in conversation with others.  People are drawn to me because I have laughter in my heart.  The world belongs to the enthusiastic, for people will follow them anywhere!

Today I will choose to be happy.  I will smile at every person I meet.

My smile has become my calling card.  It is, after all, the most potent weapon I possess.  My smile has the strength to forge bonds, break ice, and calm storms.  I will use my smile constantly.  Because of my smile, the people with whom I come in contact on a daily basis will choose to further my causes and follow my leadership.  I will always smile first.  That particular display of a good attitude will tell others what I expect in return.

My smile is the key to my emotional makeup.  A wise man once said, "I do not sing because I am happy; I am happy because I sing!"  When I choose to smile, I become the master of my emotions.  Discouragement, despair, frustration, and fear will always wither when confronted by my smile.  The power of who I am is displayed when I smile.

Today I will choose to be happy.  I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.

In the past, I have found discouragement in particular situations until I compared the condition of my life to others less fortunate.  Just as a fresh breeze cleans smoke from the air, so a grateful spirit removes the cloud of despair.  It is impossible for the seeds of depression to take root in a thankful heart.

My God has bestowed upon me many gifts, and for these I will remember to be grateful.  Too many times I have offered up prayers of a beggar, always asking for more and forgetting to give thanks.  I do not wish to be seen as a greedy child, unappreciative and disrespectful.  I am grateful for sight and sound and breath.  If ever in my life there is a pouring out of blessings beyond that, then I will be grateful for the miracle of abundance.

I will greet each day with laughter.  I will smile at every person I meet.  I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.

Today I choose to be happy.
