Success is, after all, your choice!

Uit A Fortune to Share  - it’s yours, if you want it! -

If success were an accident, then none of us would have much control over our lives, our attitudes and our destinies.
But the good news is, we do have control.

Success is a choice 

Sure, unexplained things can happen, but firmly I believe that “luck” is where preparation and opportunity meet. You have to do your part.

It begins with these 10 core beliefs about success:

1. Winners are not born...they are made.

2. The dominant force in your existence is the way you think.

3. You can create your own reality.

4. There is some benefit to be had from  every adversity

5. Each one of your beliefs is a choice

6. You are never defeated until you accept defeat as a reality and stop trying

7. The only real limitations on what you can accomplish are those that you impose on yourself

8. You already possess the ability to excel in at least one key area of your life

9. There can be no great successes without great commitment

10. You need the support and cooperation of other people to achieve any worthwhile goal.

Choose to have focus.  Focus stimulates your desire to be a winner.

This principle can be understood with these two facts:

1. It’s an attitude before it becomes an action!

2. It’s a journey more than a  destination

The characteristics of desire are best visualized in the word D-E-S-I-R-E itself. Each letter tells us how to “stand firm” on our first sure step for developing the  power of Focus. Notice that these are all mental (improving focus) before they are physical.

D: Decide…Winners make the   decision to “pay the price!”

E: Enthusiasm….Winners have controlled, upbeat, exciting DESIRE!

S: Synergy….Winners know that they “multiply” together!

I: Improve….Winners inspect and improve their personal efforts!

R: Remember…..Winners remember their personal goals of commitment!

E: Energy…Winners know that mental toughness produces physical energy!

Focus Demands Your Discipline to be a Winner. Discipline begins with a definite decision by you. You must take it personally. That is because the principle of discipline is always pro- active:

Discipline always increases concentration Discipline always focuses on winning goals

Discipline always builds confidence Discipline always produces winners

Discipline always improves perfor-mance

Discipline always creates rewards.

Choose to avoid negativity in your life.

Negativity is the major sumbling block when it comes to change. The following are some tips to help assess the negative influences in your life:

1. Reassess all your long-standing beliefs

2. Monitor your self-talk for one full day

3. Examine negativity

4. Make a list of all your assets and liabilities

5. Accept that some failure is a part of the achievement process

6. Re-program your subconscious

7. Set positive-beliefs goals

8. Associate only with positive-beliefs winners.
