“Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.”
– Earl Wilson
Goals properly aligned will give you an impelling momentum that, like a snowball rolling down a snow covered hill, increases in size and speed along the way. The more you work on your priorities, the more motivated you will become and the more timely the results you will produce. They will increase and keep on increasing.
“Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.”
– Kenneth Hildebrand
While statistics prove that 90% of heart attacks happen on Monday mornings, it goes to show that motivation doesn’t come from work. In reality, most people find themselves working in jobs they hate.
“We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.”
–Earl Nightingale
“Success is a journey… Not a destination.”
–Ben Sweetland
“What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.”
– Bob Dylan
“There is only one success: To be able to live your life in your own way.”
– Christopher Morley
In truth, when one seeks an external form of success, what a person truly seeks is its essence such as happiness, peace of mind, a sense of fulfillment, and so on. What is success without any of these anyway?
So, if you’re following the commandments, you should now have a unique name, possibly a tagline, and established yourself as the first or leader in your unique category. What about the service or product you offer? Do you offer an extraordinary product or service, or do you offer an ordinary one?
Even if the service you provide is customary, traditional, and probably offered by your competition, you should make it appear unique just as well.
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
Many people will scoff at the idea that there is an exact science of getting rich. Holding the impression that the supply of wealth is limited, they will insist that social and governmental institutions must be changed before even any considerable number of people can acquire a competence.
But this is not true.
It is true that existing governments keep the masses in poverty, but this is because the masses do not think and act in the certain way.
