The Positive World of Success - 7/27/2008
I am happy, successful and enthusiastic! I feel great! I’ve got my life in order, working for my benefit --- and you know what? It’s WONDERFUL.
I challenge each of you reading this article to join with me, to get your life in order, to start moving toward more success, more happiness and more inner satisfaction and peace.
In order to start, you must first understand that success (health, wealth and happiness) is not a destination. It is, in fact, a journey that takes time. There is no “express” elevator to the top. Success is accomplished one step at a time, sometimes two, depending upon experience and attitude.
When we do achieve a level of success, we must not stop to bask in the glory of that achievement. We must move on, step by step, and climb higher and higher up the stairway until we reach the upper landing – our ultimate goal.
It is said, and it is true, that the only thing that is constant in nature is change. We cannot stand still or we will end up going backward. Our climb to the top of the stairway is accomplished by refining, growing, adapting, changing and acquiring newer and more usable attitudes. The journey once begun is an exciting and fulfilling one.
Before you can manifest any degree of self-satisfaction, confidence or greatness in your life – before you can acquire the physical things you desire – before you can own inner peace – before you can fulfill your destiny, you MUST change your inner thoughts and concepts.
There are success-type personalities and failure-type personalities, happiness-prone personalities and unhappiness-prone personalities. These personalities, in large part, are determined by you attitude. What happens on the inside reflects on the outside. So you see – your present attitude is a reflection of who you are and where you are – right now!
If your attitude is poor, it must be corrected. If your attitude is fair, it has got to be improved. And, if you are already in possession of a good attitude, you’ve simply go to become more joyfully enthused. You must become totally committed to improving your life, instead of just passively participating in it.
All of your life, from birth to the present time, whether you are 6 or 60 years young, you have been living a life within the carefully dictated boundaries of morality, ethics, rights, wrongs, truths, lies, likes and dislikes.
The actual truth is that you have been pre-programmed to think and act (or more correctly, to RE-ACT) to situations and challenges in your life like a robot. You never use the “freedom of choice” you were born with; rather, you allow the “compulsions of conformity” to dictate your action.
You don’t use your own powers because the same people who programmed you, also informed, re-enforced and led you to believe that “you can’t do anything right.”
They trained you to feel that you are slightly inferior and not quite as good as they are. You were taught, and you accepted as fact, that you can be anything you desire to be, as long as it was mediocre and average. Blend in with the crowd, be leery of others and their motives, justify and defend your position, hold on and be protective of your ideas and property – and think “doomy-gloomy” thoughts.
In reality, you have been subliminally brainwashed by people who unintentionally trained you to mirror their own low self-esteem. These very same people were carefully trained before you, by others who have in turn lost their minds to low self-esteem teachers – and the failure habit pattern develops, evolves and envelopes you ---- and then your children.
There is a better way to live. It’s called the Positive World of Success. It is called “being in charge of your own life!”
