Meeting:
The 15 Success Principles You’ll Never Want To Forget
1 – Prepare
The first success principle
is preparation. It’s the foundation of success. With preparation you create
your own opportunities. Once you have all the different elements lined up, it
only takes a small opening to realize your goal. At the same time, taking
advantage of big opportunities without enough preparation means risking your
success, as you’re building without a well-laid foundation.
2 – Do something you love
You have to work very hard whatever
it is you choose to do. Your work or your project will dominate much of your
time and your life. Therefore, find something that you enjoy doing and do that.
3 – Get started
You have to start somewhere. Today
is as good a day as any to start. Get into action today and start moving in the
direction you want. Putting it off can only lead to failure, whereas if you
start and see an early setback, at least you conquered that setback early on.
4 – Move in the right direction
Keep everything moving in the
direction you want. It doesn’t matter if things go slowly initially. As long as
the overall direction is favorable, you’ll get where you want to go eventually.
5 – Use the power of dreams and your
imagination
What you dream and visualize today
will become true tomorrow. You just have to work on turning it into reality.
Just as your dreams can only influence your life if you let them, the cities
you build in your imagination can only become real if you build them.
6 – Think big
If you set your aim a bit too high
you might fall short. If you set your aim too low you might achieve your goal…
and miss out on the other opportunities. By thinking bigger, the only limit is
what is possible. You’re no longer limited by what you think is possible.
7 – Focus on growth
Seemingly impossible challenges are
just cleverly disguised opportunities for growth. If you take those challenges
and, in solving them, improve yourself, you’ll find yourself continually moving
in the right direction.
8 – Maintain your determination
With enough determination, you can
succeed through almost any odds. Enough determination means you’ll find a way
no matter the situation.
9 – Set a clear vision
Think through where you’ll want to
go. Develop a clear sense of what your final goal is, and keep this with you.
By knowing the destination you want to reach, you can continually look at your
current path and decide if it’s a route that will help you get where you want
to go.
10 – Set goals along the way
A final goal isn’t enough. You need
intermediate goals that set the path. These goals should be specific,
measurable, realistic, attainable, and timely. These intermediate goals define
the steps that you need to take to get to the final one.
11 - Work out plans of action for
your work
For each goal, it helps to have
plans to reach them. Your plan describes how you can reach each step from where
you are, or where you will be. Keep in mind that the future is never certain.
Things rarely work out exactly how you plan. Therefore, see these plans as
showing one or more possible routes, not necessarily the route you’ll end up
taking.
Still, knowing the plan means you
can avoid long detours that might compromise your chances of reaching a goal on
time — or at all.
12 - Commit to taking action
Once you start going, keep going.
Never, never, never give up. If you find an obstacle in your way, chip away at
it or go around it. The only way to really fail is to give up. If you keep
going you’ll succeed. If you hit the limits of what’s possible, you can regroup
and find another way.
13 - Use affirmations
Affirmations are just short,
positive, and above all direct phrases in present tense. Things like “I’m getting
more and more successful.” The idea is that they reinforce a positive world
view. With affirmations, you are defining your own reality. By transmitting a
positive world view to your mind, it adopts this view. As your mind adopts this
view, it helps shape the world around you to fit it, which means it helps make
the world around you one that reflects a reality of you getting more successful
every day.
14 - Get rid of negative
influences
Avoid harmful influences around you
that might shake you from your goal. Keep people and ideas around you that
support your success and your belief in yourself.
15 - Be grateful and appreciate
what you have
The final success principle is to
appreciate what you have already. Realize that — by sheer virtue of the fact
that you can be reasonably certain you’ll live from one day to the next — you
already have enough. Enjoy it! Appreciate what you’ve achieved so far, and see
that what you want, where you’re going, is not what you need or what you must
do. Rather, these are things and actions that will make your situation even
better.
