The Formula For Success
"Thoughts become things."
You already know this stuff.
What are you doing with it?
Jim Rohn, offers words gleaned from years of experience in successful living (success defined as the progressive realization of a worthy ideal):
Like the formula for failure, the formula for success is easy to follow: A few simple disciplines practiced every day.... It is the small disciplines that lead to great accomplishments.
Neither success nor failure occurs in a single cataclysmic event. Both are the result of the accumulation of seemingly small and insignificant decisions whose collective weight over the period of a lifetime presents the individual with his or her proportionate reward.
Only through careful mental preparation can we consistently make wise choices. What we think determines what we believe; what we believe influences what we choose; what we choose defines what we are; and what we are attracts what we have.
Like the architect, we must learn to see in our minds the result we wish to achieve, and then go to work on building a solid foundation to support this vision. Once the vision is clearly defined and the foundation has been firmly established, then the choices required to complete the structure are easily and wisely made.
Deliberate Creation: Offer a Clear Signal
Let yourself train yourself, little by little, into better-feeling thoughts. You shape your environment, and are shaped by your environment--your friends, your line of work, the messages you hear all day on the radio, the conversations you choose to have, the activities turn your attention toward. What type of person does the things that you like to do... Who are you becoming?
Select the messages you focus upon for hours every day. As a reminder, download some computer backgrounds that affirm who you are, where you're going and what you love about life... then notice more and more of what you focus on, turning up.
