Success Begins In The Mind


Success is characterized in various forms, also has many meanings depending on what one is seeking for in his life, relationship and career. To athletes, success can mean obtaining that gold medal, to parentsí success can mean raising children with good moral values, to doctors, success can mean saving a life and to some it can mean a job promotion or acquiring wealth. It actually depends on oneís perspective of the life that one has. Understanding and success perceptions are as abundant as there are stars in the sky.

One apparent thing about success is that every individual has to determine the true meaning of success in his own life. The one's who walk through life making an attempt to accomplish 'success' through someone else's standards or through the standards of one's society will continuously be lacking of that successful feeling.

The modern dictionary defines success as that certain measure or degree of achievement or accomplishment or as a desirable and favorable outcome.

One should make a decision on what one truly wants that can offer a desirable or favorable outcome that must be in each aspect of one's life. To accomplish success, one has to set realistic goals for his life, meaning goals that can be achieved. One should measure success as to how close one comes to accomplishing one's goals that one has set for himself based on one's skills and abilities.

Know that oneís 'subconscious mind' is a very incredible and powerful tool that one has yet to improve and utilize it wisely to its complete capacity, to accomplish success.

To fully understand how powerful and encouraging your 'subconscious mind' can be, you should understand first and recognize that there really is no 'coincidence', that nothing in life occurs just by chance. Meaning, nothing is predestined, that you have the power to control your life, to control your success and your failure.

Events or incidents in life can be maneuvered or controlled to resolve one's problems. You have the power to change certain aspects of your life that you are not contented with.

Whereas there is no disagreeing to the actuality that one can not at all times acquire what he wants, it is likewise true that one can utilize one's natural power over events of one's life and cause things to move on one's desired direction more 'frequently'.

Expectation, belief and desire are three powerful forces that can help you do so. Before anything that you wish for to occur can happen, you must desire for it to happen, should believe deeply that it will happen and you should expect that it will happen.

The 'subconscious mind' generates all things in you life that is on the information and messages you send to it. You are continuously and regularly sending the mind information and messages and most information sent is useless or that it is negative information functioning against you. This is why things never recuperate regardless of your efforts to make it succeed.

It will be truly difficult to follow any success level if you are not specific and clear regarding what you believe is attainable for yourself. It is then extremely significant assess and gauge your actions, thoughts and motives as you partake your daily life. You should gain understanding and knowledge of where you are and what are you doing wrong as well as what you are doing right. Subsequently you should be ready to change for the better when and as it is needed.

Always remember that whatever you display in your beliefs, thoughts and actions are sent to the 'subconscious mind'.

So be very careful of your thoughts, beliefs and actions, as they are great influences to your success. Note that if you worry constantly about not acquiring enough finances, then you will really not acquire enough; thinking that you do not have the capability to accomplish your goals, then you will never achieve any; thinking that there not enough open opportunities, then there will never be.

Why? Simply because the 'subconscious mind' is constantly working on those information that you have sent and a 'negative information' results to nothing but 'negative reality'.

When you do accomplish your goal, stop a while and relish that certain satisfaction and pleasure of achieving a goal. Great or small, it is success; a beginning of that life that you want for yourself!

    I think success begins and remains in the mind.

    My definition of success is: success is not a destination but a journey. Success is not reaching a goal but the willingness to strive toward the goal. Success, I beieve begins in the mind and heart of a person that moves them to reach out of themselves to serve someone else. Success is not a selfish mindset or a self-serving accomplishment.

    Yes, but the desire to serve others begins in the mind. This is my personal definition but I do understand that there are many that look at success in a different light than I do. We also must remember that serving takes on many forms.

    Yes, in my personal experience, success is one of those words that means something a little different to every person who uses the word. I like your alignment of success with ‘service.’ When I speak of success I mean doing what you’ve committed yourself to do (with mind and with the heart) with ease, grace, and joy. Since what I’ve committed myself to do is serve, there’s a lot of alignment between us. Like in a Venn diagram when the two circles overlap a LOT.

    But I’m also aware that we’re in a conversation here that many people don’t think of as a conversation about ‘success.’

    I agree with your definition of success and you are correct that some will not think that this is a conversation about success.

    Be encourage in your service for you have been assigned to those you serve.
