Preparation is the Key to Certain Success

By Audie Perove

Countless men have failed in life because they were not ready when their best chances for success occurred. Some of these golden opportunities slipped away unrecognized. Others, though perceived, could not be grasped. The men to whom they were presented had not prepared to hold and implement these chances whenever they arrived.

If you desire to make your success a certainty, then be in a state of preparedness, if an opportunity should arise. If you are thoroughly prepared when the circumstance presents itself you will regard it quickly, realize its full value, and seize it with complete confidence.

Before you seek the opportunity that you desire, be sure of your entire readiness. It would be to your advantage to wait a little while for certain success than to rush unready into the field of your choice, risking the likelihood of failure that could be prevented by intelligent preparation to succeed. Your preparation for certain success must be two-fold. You need to prepare yourself in ability first to perceive; then to appreciate the full value of what you see. Golden opportunities are all around you. If you do not recognize them, or if you minimize the value in the signs of rich chances to succeed, you will actualize failure because of your lack of being prepared.

Many a farmer in Oklahoma cursed his "bad luck" after he sold a farm on which a gusher was later discovered. The fact is the oil was always there. The "luckless" farmer simply did not perceive the indications of wealth under his plodding feet; or if he saw signs of oil, he did not realize that they denoted the possibility of millions.

Developing perception can be broadened almost immeasurably. The physical eye, if normal and thoroughly trained, is fitted to be "all seeing." So can your mind be made capable of the widest vision over all the fields of possible opportunity? Some are within your present mental view, others you can see only after going farther or climbing higher in knowledge and personal development. The biggest possibilities of success cannot be comprehended in their entirety by narrowed mental sight.

The first essential element of preparation to succeed is that you open your eyes fully, and look all around you for the opportunities within range of your vision. There are so many close at hand that your search would better begin right where you are. Even if eventually you choose to widen your horizons for the best chance to succeed, do so with thorough knowledge of what is adjacent to you. Before you leave your present environment, have an intelligent conviction that you are capable of a larger or different success than is to be found within your immediate reach. Also see and comprehend the unique challenges you will find close at hand. It does not always pay to remain in "the old home town." Often a young person needs to go to a community of strangers to gain appreciation of his or her ability. It is likely to be hard for them to win success among people who knew them as a child and who still regards them as immature. They may find it much easier to succeed in a new environment. Your preparation for all the possibilities of success should be similarly varied and adaptable; though you will be wise to specialize, in addition, by making more detailed preparation for the career of your choice. At age twenty the average person usually does not know for what they are best suited. They may not be sure even at age thirty. The start toward eventual success has often been delayed until middle life.

While preparing yourself for success, keep your mental eyes wide open. Perceive any and all circumstances about you. Be in the state of awareness, for when the right fit presents itself you will be ready to take action an ultimately succeed.
