Success Principles 101

Success leaves clues!

Success, like failure, not an accident. Sometimes on purpose, so we strive to do it or not.

This is the first in a series of articles that will present on the topic of success. There have been many books written about him, lectures and seminars given it yet, even today, many people are trying to find the key to lasting success.

What is success? It has different meanings to different people.


Consider the following:

1) Family - some have a functional, happy acceptance, universal everything is success

2) health - by some to be healthy every day is a sign of success

3) Wealth - other fail if it broke

4) Prestige - be recognized as a leader in your field is a success for many.

You must determine your personal definition of success. What is success for some it will be the same for others. This definition will allow us to identify the steps you need to take to achieve the level of success you expect.

To begin this journey, I want to give what I call Success Principle 101

"You should take 100% personal responsibility for your life" item! No exceptions, no excuses.

The tendency of many is to find fault with all the faults of his life. However, nothing is further from the truth. To find sustainable success, you must be responsible. You are not responsible for everything that happens to you. But you are responsible for how you react to what happens to you.

Is the glass half full or half empty? Is it possible the impossible or very unlikely? Can you do it or you're doomed? Too many people blame their lot in life of another person (who has no father, my mother does not love me, my brethren hated me, my boss deleted) or something (I did college, I do not have the skills, they do not have the experience, I am the wrong sex, wrong color, etc., etc., etc.)

And the list goes on.

True success always refer us if we do not realize that no one is to blame for the way our lives are. Can not affect what happens to you (the sudden death of a loved one, a sudden illness, job loss, etc.), but you have 100% control over how you choose to respond to the adversity. And it's your choice.

I encourage each and every one of you who want to have lasting success in life, take responsibility for their actions.
