Your success awaits...

...But first you have to read this web page - boom boom! Lol

Actually, and somewhat seriously, you will find links to lots of interesting principles, laws, quotes, articles, recipes, secrets - all to do with the S-word. You might even learn about success motivation too.

And you'll also find a detailed (summarised) explanation of what, exactly, success is.

So let's get going, eh!

Success

Success - what SelfHelpCollective.com says...

Even though the SelfHelpCollective.com website is not yet 6 months old, it can already boast 50 visitors per day. So - and you have to imagine this website is a person now - it likes to think that it knows a thing or two about success. And that's why I let it have its say now.

So, SelfHelpCollective.com is a fan of success quotes like this from Bob Dylan:

"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."

Quotations can offer sum things up very nicely, in a short sentence that says everything. Here's another one, this time from Donald Kendall:

"The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary."

Not only does SelfHelpCollective.com believes that success leaves clues, it also believes that those clues follow a certain pattern. Some might call this pattern a serious of success principles or secrets - some might stand up and shout, "Behold the laws of success!" But The SelfHelpCollective.com website wouldn't possibly be able to comment...

Learn more about success principles here!

Learn more about success secrets here!

Learn more about the laws of success here!

 

And, of course, what good would knowing the recipe of success be if you didn't take appropriate action, if you didn't have the right success motivation?

(Ah, the SelfHelpCollective.com asks great questions! Lol.)

Learn more about the recipe for success here!

Learn more about success motivation here!

 

And don't forget learning, and continuing to learn. The success-seeker would need to read lots and lots of success articles. Wouldn't they?

And then, well what if success was near? What would that feel like? SelfHelpCollective.com thinks that some people might be frightened away from success, might have a fear of success. That, after reading all these up-beat tips and articles on success some people might still try and sabotage their efforts, might still try to fail.

(There's no pleasing some folks, eh! Lol.)

And then again, some might think it funny that a website could have an opinion about 'success' or any other self-help subject. And, in that case, I would say, "I couldn't possibly comment!"

:-)

PS What do you think about success? Please let me know, eh! (I'm happy for you to spare me your thoughts about my somewhat madcap nature, though! Lol.)

Success - what Shelli Perkins says...

What is success? It's an interesting question and if asked at different times in your life you will undoubtedly have a different answer.

Is it great wealth? Or great adoration? Is it say for example having a downs syndrome baby and thinking that you could not cope but actually you find that you can? Or maybe it's still having an open heart even when you are alone, orphaned as an adult, no partner, and no kids but still able to be mild tempered and able to smile and to stop the traffic for that little old lady desperately trying to cross the road.

Success I think is invisible; it is everything we forget to see which is why we measure it by material, physical attributes. Success is actually kindness. It is a child going to bed saying I love you and waking up saying I love you. Success is love, it is warmth. It is family be they natural or otherwise being there. Anything else is trimmings. Success is overrated and thus has become unattainable. Success is peace; it is security in self; and it is forgiveness.

I am a 42 year old woman with two younger children and this is my success:

  • Gleeful children at the end of a school day
  • A good meal in my kids' belly and a night time story with a glass of warm milk
  • Laughter with someone who loves me
  • A warm touch and a steadfast loyalty - emotionally and physically
  • A feeling of protection

Success is not money! It is not notoriety. And it is not receiving respect from people whom you don't know.

My success story is that I am 42; I am not ill; my children are happy and healthy; and I am strong, and my mind is not addled. If I make shed loads of money, hey cool, if I don't well hey I already have it all any way.

Success is to see the morning, see the night and the stars, and feel the autumnal smell of change and to drink it up like it is your last breath! There is nothing else.

Get lost in the excitement of your children's eyes; remember when you were once there. If you can do these things you have been a success in life. Know and pity the lost ones, help them that are confused. This 'success' may well go unrecognised - but who are you trying to impress?

Cook, appreciate the beauty that is around you; walk; show someone some kindness. For there is no better success that the wet eye of someone's life that you have just changed by helping them - that is my success story. And even though there has been businesses and hard work, these are the thing that I think about when I think about success.

Actual success is forgotten; we have it every day but forget to see as we are consumed with greed, want, jealousy, hate and bitterness. We are all successful, really - but for most what we have is not enough. Just listen to the beautiful music and laugh when your puppy has crapped all over is bed! Clean up the spilt milk and look lovingly into your frightened child's eyes and say, "Hey little man, little lady, fret not! We have success we have each other, we have life! Anything more is just trimmings." That is my success story and I am truly blessed!

Here is another success story! There once was a girl that said she could do anything, she traveled the world and experienced many things. Different life's, different cultures, fame, men, success - in everything her hand touched! How very cool. She achieved success in her careers, became rich and was the envy of all the mothers in the school yard. She had it all! Money, fast cars, horses, big house, fancy clothes. What a life! This is the life I want! No that was my life, and this life was full of disappointment, sadness, loneliness, and sorrow. Give me the first option please, but here is the funny thing I had the first option all along but it was just invisible and I could not see it.

Except I am one of the lucky ones because I have always been able to see the first option and have always lived and felt the first option. I am a successful woman!
