This story is called, "The Secret of Success"

This story is called, "The Secret of Success."

The following inspiring story has

changed my life. I hope it will do the same for you.

There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of

success. One day he approached a wise man living up in

the mountain.

When he found the wise man at the hut, he

asked, "Wise man, can you tell me the secret to becoming

successful in life?" The wise man was silent for a

while. After a moment of silence, the wise man led the

young lad to a nearby river.

They kept walking into the river until the boy's head was

entirely submerged in the water. The boy struggled to keep

his head above the water.

To his astonishment, the wise man did not help

him. Instead, the wise man held the boy's head in the

water. After a few minutes, the wise man pulled the boy

Out of the water and they proceeded to walk back to the

hut.

At the hut, the wise man asked the young boy what

he desired most when his head was submerged in water.

To this, the young boy quickly responded, "Of course, I

wanted to breathe, you old fool!"

To which the wise man replied, "Son if you desire success

as much as you wanted to breathe, then you would have found

the actual secret of success."

The above story is one that I read whenever I feel de-motivated.

It always makes my day much better.  Hope you enjoy and also benefit from this story.

Always "Move" forward with everything you do!

April 3, 2012

Easier said than done, but we do have this ability if we understand what directions and why we need to do it, then it becomes reality. You have to believe in yourself to be able to move fully forward in whatever it is your doing in life. We all encounter daily obstacles that deprive our thinking and making our set direction more difficult in obtaining our success, we desire. We need to know when to call on others to provide you with the much-needed guidance you’re lacking.  You need to find ways to resolve issues; stop procrastinating them and set a game plan that will give you results.

Understanding your fears and having the ability to let go of your fears is not an easy task at all. The Very complex process, it deals with emotions, and emotions have the abilities to impair your judgment and decisions. When you over think, you become convinced by the visualization you have created in your inner mind. Some call it mind games you play with yourself. The results are usually a waste of human energy. Nothing accomplished or gain in your thinking patterns.

What we need to do is learn how to change this thinking into a positive pattern of thought, illustrating your weaknesses and strengths of your visualization is your first mission.  Always think of the things you did right!  Positive reaffirmation way of thinking and adding conviction to your thinking. Understanding what you did correctly will offset what you did incorrectly; teaching you how to overcome our fears one by one. When we tackle our fears, we deal with them one at a time and mastering that fear into a positive achievement.  Is a step in the right direction of understanding your positive outlook in life, one at a time!

The power of visualization is an “Art” that has been used for centuries by many people from all walks of life who all live in all different countries but understand the power of visualization. Role playing in your mind is an effective way of allowing your brain to become more confidence when it deals with obstacles or any other visualization you played in your mind; it’s a particular movie. How you end it, is your decision you’re in total control of your dreams. Success is never just one race, just when you thinking you have found it, another race begins, so make it a marathon. One can never be too comfortable with the directions and obstacles he will face, but being ready for the challenge; is the attitude that makes "Winners from Losers."

Don’t ever stop trying to be a better person. Took me a long time to fully understand this  "Concept....."
