A Formula for Success

Success is one of the most broadly defined terms in the lexicon or jargon of achievement-minded people. It's no wonder then that more people are often uncertain whether they have truly achieved success in any real sense.

Let's agree for a moment that success, even in its broadest context, is personally defined. You actually get to define what success looks and feels like for your life. What an awesome opportunity! Be careful not to define it by the standards of others, however, because their formula will not work for your version of success. Claiming your definition assures your ultimate happiness and actually assures the fact that success will be indeed achieved. Also, beware of the inherent danger of defining your success against a monetary standard. While money is an element of success it should never be used as the standard by which success is measured. The only pure measure of success is happiness.

Contrary to popular belief, we do not pursue success, we attract it. One of the most exciting things about this philosophy is that the attraction formula is relatively easy to follow and the results are almost immediate. With a clear vision, presence of mind, and a determination for change, we have the power to attract elements of success into our lives. Those elements ignite an evidentiary transformation that reminds of the things we must do daily in order to reach the ideal of our defined model of success.

As we make small changes in our lives we begin to experience the positive results that are attached to those new disciplines—most of which are experiences that occur...almost immediately. Our biggest responsibility is to recognize the changes and to systematically build upon them. The positive results we experience serve as a confirmation that we're on the right path and as motivators that power our determination to become better at developing even more disciplines.

As we begin to see the course of our lives shift toward our ideal definition of success we are reminded that the only way we can attract success is through a philosophy that begins with a personal transformation of patience and persistence. Do the right thing consistently and success will find its way to you. And remember, success is a process, not an event, so exercise patience while knowing that you are attracting success through the transformation process one step at a time.

Until next time...
