Are These Your Success Principles?All principles can have exceptions, however...
then you will be nurturing your own success! At least this is according to Maureen Patten in her article below. And, as there is no real recipe for success, nor is there just one set of success secrets, Jack Canfield shares a little of his success wisdom in the YouTube video below too. Let's not hang about then... Success principles - what I say...Maureen's success principles article is an easy read, but I think it contains some powerful (and maybe uncomfortable) lessons for all of us looking to be more successful. I will re-read this article lots of times, I think, and add it to my favourite self-help articles on this site, if only so I can continually ask myself these questions:
Great stuff, indeed. Imagine asking yourself these questions each and every week. Imagine deciding to not hang out with somebody who you think drags you down. Imagine seeking out more positive, focussed individuals instead. You see - this might be uncomfortable to do, but it would enable you to be more successful. Perhaps that is also a success principle: doing what it takes. And not all of us can do what it takes, which is fine just as long as we recognize this trait in ourselves. (How many of us, for example, would consider turning to meditation to achieve success? Or how about turning to storytelling or wanting to embrace conflict?) I'll stop talking and let Maureen's article say the rest... PS If you have any comments on this success article do let us know - thanks. 3 Principles Of SuccessSuccess principles - what Maurine Patten says...Success is personal. When you are successful with something, you are pleased with the outcome. You may even be thrilled with the results. It can be something that doesn't take a lot of your time, such as quickly getting a good meal together or something that takes many years, such as completing a graduate degree program. Principles are guidelines or tools to help you achieve something that is important. They simplify a lot of incoming data so that you do not get overwhelmed. As you continue reading, remember that all principles can have exceptions. What is something you want to be successful at in your life? It may be in your personal life as a spouse or parent or in your career or work. Alexandria Brown has a successful marketing business. She credits her success to the following 3 principles:
The first principle comes from Jim Rohn, whom some call the father of personal development and America's foremost business philosopher. This principle picks up on the old saying "birds of a feather flock together". What does this principle mean? You will be similar to the people you tend to hang around in beliefs, values, and bank account balance. If you are trying to be successful in a new endeavor, make an effort to be with others who are also successful in that particular area. The second principle is mentioned by many personal development or self-improvement experts including Brian Tracy. "Your habits create your future" means that daily habits create long-term results. Another way of saying this is that your habits today will determine your outcomes tomorrow. This picks up on the old saying, "you reap what you sow". If you want to be physically healthy, you have to have healthy physical habits. The third principle emphasizes the need to have an environment that supports your goals. It has been pointed out by personal development experts that if you have an aquarium with sick fish, you treat the water not the fish. There are times when it is crucial to be in an environment that supports you at the level you want to be at ' not at the level you are at now. Depending on your situation, you may find support from family, friends, a mentor, a coach, or a mastermind group. Environment can be thought of as:
Following these three principles of success will keep you steadily moving forward: 1. Who are the five people you choose to be with? 2. What new habits can you start today? 3. What new ideas do you want to check out this week? I wish you the best of success on your journey. ---------------------------------------------------- EDITOR NOTE: You can learn more about Brian Tracy and Jim Rohn at their respective websites: www.briantracy.com and www.jimrohn.com.
