Tips for Creating Success

Affirmation: "Today I have clear vision and I am making my dreams a reality"

  • INSPIRATION: Look for it - it will fuel your motivation. Read books for inspiration, self-help books, read about peole who have been successful in your desired field of work etc

  • ENVIRONMENT: Your environment will control you, therefore ensure that you control your environment.  Avoid situations, acquaintenances, associates who tend to hold you back.  Seek out people who are positive and inspire you to achieve your goal/dream.

  • CONTROLLING YOUR ATTITUDE: Your attitude is also a key to your success.  Think positive and you will get positive results.  Think negative ... well you know what you will get!  Successful people know how to control their attitude, they talk positively, think positively and act positively.  More importantly they seek out and choose what kind of informaton they absord on a daily basis.  Want to control your attitude look at the things which affect your attitude in a negative way and eliminate them.  E.g., stop watching the news, crime shows, reading newspapers and listening to radio news.  Be selective at the type of information you take on board on a daily basis - does it inspire or fill you with fear.  "Happy thoughts, create happy feelings, which in turn create a happy attitude.

  • Thinking will not overcome fear - ACTION will

  • Decisions without actions are worthless.

  • Failure can be good for you.

  • You deserve success - affirm everyday that you deserve success.

  • Know your strengths, true abilities and areas of potential growth.  List successes of the past, no matter how small.  Take an inventory of yourself.

  • Ask for help - successful people never succeed on their own, they know their own strengths and weaknesses and seek out assistance and help in the areas they have little knowledge or experise. 
  • Believe you can ... And you can.  Say to yourself "If I think I can ...I CAN!!"

  • It takes less work to succeed than to fail

  • Practice, practice, practice.  Practices overcome hurdles and obstacles.

  • Solve each problem as you meet it.

  • Success is achieved by those who TRY

  • Trouble is opportunity in disguise

  • Don't be afraid of the unknown.  Step out of your comfort zone.  Remember a comfort zone is a shrinking zone.  After a period of time it shrinks, constricts and starts to suffocate.  If you truly want to succeed, know it will never happen in your comfort zone 

  • Remember:  "What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve

  • Lay the proper foundations 

  • Be thankful.  Gratitude creates a great energy from within it is a force which creates momentum and drive.  Remember everyday to express heartfelt gratitude for everything in your life.  If you want to attract more good in your life appreciate what you already have.

I hope the tips above are useful and help to move you towards success.  Remember too that "Success" is a mindset.  It is something that has to be practised on a daily basis.  If you truly want to succeed in life, begin the change from within and let go of the old, worn out and outdated.  The process begins with YOU. 

Until the next edition, wishing you much success always.
