The following are some of the necessary steps to becoming successful in life:
21. No one can insult or hurt you without your permission.
One of the golden keys to happiness and great success is the way you interpret
events which unfold before you. Highly successful people are master
interpreters. People who have attained greatness have an ability which they
have developed to interpret negative or disempowering events as positive
challenges which will assist them in growing and moving even farther up the
ladder of success. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid
in your development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new
heights. There are no failures, only lessons.
22. Take a speed reading course. Reading is a powerful way
to gain many years of experience from a few hours of study. For example, most
biographies reflect the strategies and philosophies of great leaders or
courageous individuals. Read them and model them. Speed reading will allow you
to digest large quantities of material in relatively small periods of time.
23. Remember people's names and treat everyone well. This
habit, along with enthusiasm, is one of the great success secrets. Everyone in
this world wears an imaginary button that screams out "I WANT TO FEEL
IMPORTANT AND APPRECIATED!".
24. Be soft as a flower when it comes to kindness but tough
as thunder when it comes to principle. Be courteous and polite at all times but
never be pushed around. Ensure that you are always treated with respect.
25. Never discuss your health, wealth and other personal
matters with anyone outside of your immediate family. Be very disciplined in
this regard.
26. Be truthful, patient, persevering, modest and generous.
27. Soak in a warm bath at the end of a long, productive
day. Reward yourself for even the smallest of achievement. Take time out for
renewal of your mind, body and spirit. Soon all your more important goals will
be met and you will move to the next level of peak performance.
28. Learn the power of breathing and its relationship with
your energy source. The mind is intimately connected with your breathing. For
example, when the mind is agitated, your breathing becomes quick and shallow.
When you are relaxed and focused, your breathing is deep and calm. By
practising deep, abdominal breathing, you will develop a calm, serene demeanor
that will remain cool in the hottest of circumstances. Remember the rule of the
Eastern mountain men: "to breathe properly is to live properly."
29. Recognize and cultivate the power of autosuggestion. It
works and is an essential tool in maintaining peak performance. We are all
performers in one way or another and it is particularly valuable to use such
techniques of athletes and public figures for our own enhancement. If you want
to become more enthusiastic, repeat "I am more enthusiastic today and am
improving this trait daily". Repeat it over and over. Purchase a legal
notepad and write out this mantra 500 times. Do it for three weeks with regular
practice and feel that this quality is developing. Very soon it will come. This
is a strategy that Indian sages have employed for thousands of years to aid
their spiritual and mental development. Do not be discouraged if the results
are not immediate, they will certainly develop. The spoken word is a powerful
influencer of the mind.
