Daily Success In Your Life

How would you like to manufacture "a success?" How would you like to have a "success reservoir" into which you could dip whenever you feel low in spirit or have the "blues?" Just follow the instructions, and you'll manufacture "a success," and build your own "success reservoir."

When most of us think of success, it is in terms of a desirable but nebulous something to be achieved in the indefinite future. "Someday, when I have the time and the money," runs such thinking, "I'm going to have" and on continues the dream, each to each man's taste.

The distant goal, the long-range objective, is essential to successful career planning, but the elapse of time alone is not going to get you there. Decision and action are the allies of progress; procrastination is the enemy of progress.
How often you have told yourself of the many little things you could accomplish if you could only get around to it. Those little things could be accomplishments. They can be left to die on the vine with no apparent loss suffered, or they can be made to flourish to the enormous enrichment of your entire life.

Only a very little seed is needed to grow a big tree. While this takes a good many years, it is different with people: one little success can start you on the way to very much larger ones in days, weeks, or even hours.

It's Better If You Like It

What would you like to get done within the next 24 hours? Don't think of some unpleasant chore, like cleaning the basement, when you can just as effectively start out on something pleasant. Think of something that can use the best of your abilities, or improve your mind, like reading the book that you meant to read months ago.

Write it down, and then in more detail describe four steps needed for its accomplishment. You now have a method to use in reaching a pre-arranged objective. Take that Step One, and because yours is a short-term, 24-hour project, you give Time no opportunity to stop you with procrastination. The remaining three steps will follow through on the momentum of Step One.

Let me warn you about that first step. It may look easy, and even pleasant, but the inertia of years of "getting along" is hard to budge in the direction of "getting ahead." Time used those years to get its forces of procrastination deeply entrenched. Before you can move you must overcome both inertia and procrastination, but once you are rolling, the rest is easy.

The result can be a revelation. In one 24-hour period you have proved to yourself that what you have done in a small way you can do on a larger scale with practice. Destroyed forever is the theory that success is a matter of "getting the breaks," or that it comes to some people because they are luckier than others. You have made many mistakes, accidentally. This 24-hour experience proves you can manufacture "a success," purposefully.

Now that you are rolling, continue setting day-to-day seed projects, not forgetting to reward yourself from time to time. My definition of an achievement - something you did well, enjoyed doing, and are proud of. That "enjoyed doing" is as important to over-all success as it is to the achievements that make success possible. Don't let yourself become a slave to success.

It will help you to do this too: At the end of each day, make a note for yourself in answer to the following question, "What's the best thing that happened to me today?" Even on the worst days, some things are just a little better than others. Make a habit of looking for something that is "best" in each of your days.
You are now on the way to making the rest of your life a success.

Obstacles That Can Get In The Way Of Success

By Kevin Sinclair

Fear is sometimes one of the largest obstacles that can get in the way of success. The first step to overcoming such fear, is realizing that you actually have it and the steps which need to be followed to overcome it. We constantly see people who excel themselves in almost everything that they undertake. This may, at times, make you ask yourself "why them and not me?". The reason for this, is that these certain people are focused, and more importantly, fearless.

How can the fear of success be something that someone accuses you of? It is a response that we learn in life. We learn, from an early age, that if we are good at something, we will more than likely be expected to be good at other things too. If we become successful, all of the responsibilities that go along with it, will have to be accepted.

A life example of this would be, that if a disgruntled parent has taught his son that he would not amount to much in his life, then he will never have very much. He was taught not to attempt to live above the way that he was raised. Therefore, because of the father's dreary reality, the future of the son was being judged. This results in the son being programmed to expect failure in his life. This was the reality, for many years, that encompassed the son's life. Success was something that he feared. The ability to be successful was doubted by him, and to compensate for this, he did not even try. He was sure that he would fail anyway, so why bother. This is what justified his reasons for not being successful.

This man, after several years, then decided that he would really like success in his endeavors. He would like to have certain things, to go places and enjoy life. Failure was not something that he wanted to be bound to. He realized that it was actually disapproval that he feared. He did not want to receive his father's disapproval nor the perceived disapproval of his peers.

The fear of success needed to be overcome by him, and for him to do this, he had to access his present life. Every aspect of his life had to be viewed and then the necessary changes had to be made, such as physical changes, emotional changes and spiritual changes.

FEAR translates into "False Experience Appearing Real". In order to expel this fear, it was necessary for him to focus on the positive things and ideas in his life that would bring success. He had to assess his situation and focus on those particular parts of his life that needed improvement. The weaknesses needed to be highlighted and then the remedy had to be focused on. Focusing on weakness only, is part of the human frailty.

It was detrimental that he focused on the positive dimensions of his being, which means the things that he could do well. Of course, he had to notice his weak areas before he could focus on making them stronger. When he eventually realized that all of his weaknesses could be turned into positive strength, it was then that he could begin his journey on the road to success. He discovered a singular truth that changed his perception of his life. When one particular Biblical truth was acknowledged and understood, he then began his positive journey toward every success in his life. It was when he understood that he could literally take each one of his weaknesses and pass them to God, that he had God's strength to carry his forward.

The most important step to take firstly, is to realize that he is a person of infinite value and that he is important. He is loved. He has been shown this by God. His perceptions of his worth has changed. He also changed his perception of the value of God, and he began to realize that, with the help of God, all things are possible, even success.
