The One Book That Will Change How You Think About SUCCESS
Have you ever wondered why it is that some people seem to succeed at everything they decide to do, while others struggle through life never quite finding the success and fulfillment that in a sense is everyone's right?
You might have done more than wonder...
It might even be that you've felt envious of others successes of their fame, riches, big house, fast car or whatever.
I must admit to having done my share of that when I was struggling and convincing myself that some had all the luck, while others had none so I just concluded achieving success was probably just a random thing lol.
But then I began to wonder whether they actually had endless luck or something else.
And I began to read up on successful people such as Richard Branson on how to achieve success.
I learned something very interesting...
The way we look at things makes all the difference between achievement and non-achievement. If we see something as impossible it quickly becomes impossible, whereas if we start looking hard for possibilities these start presenting themselves.
It really is a question of I can if I think I can, which might seem simplistic but then life is often simpler than we think!
Everything begins with a thought. I mean, seriously.
Alexander Graham Bell could not have invented the telephone without first thinking that such a device must be within the bounds of possibility.
Likewise Sir Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin, and that other famous Fleming Ian, creator of 007 James Bond!
I used to be forever focusing on what I couldn't afford, rather than on what I could. One of my favorite expressions was I can't justify the cost of that. Bit by bit I took myself in hand, developing a different attitude and beginning to understand that I was creating my own destiny.
When I made a negative choice it was almost inevitable that there was a negative outcome, whereas when I erred on the side of the positive (thinking I can instead of I can't) the outcomes of my decisions started improving.
As these improved, so did my attitude unless it all began with my attitude? Once I stopped focusing on lack and started permitting the flow of good things I found after a while that I lacked nothing.
I also found more to like about myself than I had found when I let envy color my perceptions. And the more I liked, the more I believed that absolutely anything is possible which indeed it is, if you set out to be the best that you can be!
This is the book I highly recommend by Richard Branson👇
As I say, this is not a book review article, it's what I personally read and recommend for others, therefore I'm not going to spoil it here.
As you're reading this you may or may not have a set of written goals. If you do not, then I strongly urge you to make a written set of goals and clarify what you want to achieve.
Whatever the case, you may be struggling with achieving your goals in life. In this article, you will learn some techniques for achieving your goals.
Think of a time in your life when you achieved something you really wanted. Did you doubt it would happen and believe that you could not achieve it? Or did you have a solid sense of knowing that it would happen and doubt never entered into your mind?
It was the second wasn't it?
When Richard Branson set up Virgin Airways, did he sit in his office and wonder if it would ever work? He may have done for a little while, but he did not let these doubts rule them. They knew their plans would work and that they would be successful.
When working to achieve your goals, you need that unerring sense of confidence and lack of doubt in yourself. You must Know it is going to happen and that you will succeed.
We are not talking about thinking you will succeed, believing you will succeed or knowing you will achieve your goal. They are all intellectual forms of Knowing, Knowing with a capital K; that solid feeling in the pit of your stomach that you will make happen and you cannot fail. Expect it to happen and know there is no other way. It will happen.
This knowing gives me a daily dose of continuous motivation to enable me to consistently replenish my inspiration and vision.
