Success and what it means

Everyone wants to be a success. Successful biographies will boast of how so and so achieved his dreams working from rags to riches. You frequently encounter the same themes:-unfailing commitment to achieve, drive and ambition, and the ability to overcome hurdles and obstacles. Success often come after failure and lessons learnt. Persistence and patience are common attributes too. For some people success does not come from luck. Often they learn from the experience of others.

How do the average person define success? Some define it as having amassed a great amount of wealth. While some say success is having a good quality of life and a good balance of health and happiness.Still, some people define it as achievement and recognition for a job well done, whether in the professional circles or in their personal lives.

The meaning of success depends on each individual's needs, aspirations, perception and abilities. Not everyone wants to succeed as the boss or as the Prime Minister. Neither does everyone wants to be an acclaimed genius or superstar.

For someone like me, success would mean that I have found personal contentment and an easy life whereby I do not need to worry about what to do to get an easy and relaxed lifestyle, no more sprinting in the rat race; and with having raised winners in my children.

I still have a long way to achieve my goals of success. I still need to wake up using the alarm clock. My guru says having achieved wealth means you can wake up naturally in the morning. And to know whether you have the means to lead a naturally relaxed lifestyle you need to calculate how long you can last monetarily, if you stop working today.

So folks, get cracking. Have you got the nest egg to retire yet?

The Science of Getting Rich

Wallace D. Wattles may be long gone but his book 'The Science of Getting Rich' written in 1910 has made many wealthy.

His concepts are evergreen and can still be applied to the present.It is still going strong and many people still find benefits from it.

One concept that comes to mind is: Everyone has the right to be rich. This concept is very powerful as it states that the resources in the universe is abundant and infinite and in getting rich you do not impinge on the rights of others as everyone has that given right. So that means that if your friend becomes a millionaire by practising certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, you should not be envious or jealous of him. He has not taken from you anything to acquire his wealth. You should be friends with him so that you too can learn a trick or two on the actual science of getting rich.

It is interesting to note that there is abundance of opportunity for the man who will go with the tide instead of trying to swim against it.

If one follows the natural law that 'like causes always produces like effects', therefore anyone who learns to do things in 'the certain right way', will definitely achieve his goals. It is the same in studies. The better students have found the way on how, when and what to study to ace in exams. 

A man's way of doing things is a direct implication of how he perceives things. To do things in a way you want, you will have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think; that is the first step.

Look out for more tips from Wallace D Wattles's book.

Motivation of the day

I wish to share the following message I received in my email recently.


1. Laziness
Time put to no useful purpose, not even relaxation.

2. Procrastination
Putting off things that should be done now.

3. Distraction
Time frittered away on the details of side issues, to the detriment
of the main issue.

4. Impatience
Lack of preparation, thoroughness, or perseverance, usually
resulting in time-consuming mistakes.

DO IT TODAY

Do the right thing ;
Do it today ;
Do it with no hope of return or promise of reward ;
Do it with a smile and a cheerful attitude ;
Do it day after day after day .

Do it, and someday ,
There will come a day
That will be a payday
For all the yesterdays
You spent focused on the current day-

That will not only give value to today,
But will make each future day
Outshine each yesterday.

And what more could you ask of a day?
