Seven Rules For Success

Success Rule #1
Your life only gets better when you get better. Your outer world will always be a reflection of your inner world. If you want to improve the quality of your outer world you must go to work on yourself. Since there’s no limit on how much better you can get there’s no limit to how much better you can make your life.

Success Rule #2
It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from, it only matters where you are going. Don’t allow yourself to be slowed down or held back by events that have occurred in your past. You are not your past. Resolve to stay focused on your future and where you’re going. Since your future is only limited by your imagination, there is no limit to what you can achieve in the months and years ahead.

Success Rule #3
Anything worth doing well, is worth doing poorly…at first. Remember, everything is hard, before it is easy. The primary reason that people don’t reach their full potential is that they try something new, and when it doesn’t work perfectly the first time, they quit and go back to their old lower level of performance. Anything worth doing well, is worth doing poorly several times before you master it.

Success Rule #4
You are only as free as your options. In other words, the well developed alternatives that you have available to you. One of the most valuable assets we have is personal freedom. Your freedom is largely determined by your choices. The more options you have, the more freedom and self confidence you have. Refrain from boxing yourself in by limiting your choices. You should be continually be developing new options and skills throughout your life. Never hang all of your hopes for success on a single possibility.

Success Rule #5
Within every problem or difficulty or setback, there is the seed of an equal or greater advantage or benefit. Look for the good in every problem. Look for the valuable lesson in every adversity or set back. Look for something you can gain from every difficulty and you will always find it.

Success Rule #6
You can learn anything you need to learn to achieve any goal that you set for yourself. You are designed by nature to be a learning organism. You can acquire any knowledge and any skill you need to rise to the top of anything that you choose to do. Continually seek out new learning opportunities that are in line with your goals.

Success Rule #7
The only real limits on what you can do or be or have, are the limits you accept in your own mind. Shakespeare said “Nothing is, but thinking makes it so”. Henry Ford said “If you believe you can do a thing or you believe you cannot, in either case you’re probably right”.

You should know that YOU have within you, right now, all the talents and ability you could ever want or need to achieve any goal or dream you can set for yourself. The only question you have to ask is “how badly do I want it?” If you want anything badly enough and you’re willing to persist long enough, nothing can stop you from achieving it. Determine what you want, apply the rules above and do what successful people like yourself do...TAKE ACTION!
Rock On!! :o)
