Your Secret To Success

The strangest secret by Earl Nightingale do I do know what's happening to happen to  100 individuals who start even at the age of 25 and who believe they'll achieve success by the age of 65 only 5 out of 100 will make the grade why do such raft of such plenty of fail what happened to the spark of that was there once they were 25 what became of their dreams their hopes their plans why is there such an oversized disparity between what these people intended to undertake to to and what they really accomplished that's the strangest secret some years ago the late Nobel prize-winning Dr. physician was asked by a reporter doctor what's wrong with men today the nice doctor was silent a flash so he said man simply don't think it's about this that.

I want to speak with you we live today in an exceedingly golden age this could be often an era that humanity has looked forward to dreamed of and worked toward for thousands of years we board the richest era that ever existed on the face of the earth a land of abundant opportunity for everybody however if you're taking 100 individuals who start even at the age of 25 do I've got any idea what's occurring to happen to those men and girls by the time they're 65 these hundred people believe they're visiting achieve success they're eager toward life there's a particular sparkle in their eye and erectus to their carriage and life looks as if a fairly interesting adventure to them but by the time they're 65 only 1 are rich four are visiting be financially independent five will still be working and fifty-five are broke looking forward to others for life's necessities only five out of 100 make the grade why do such an infinite amount of fail what's happening to the glint that was there once they were twenty five what has become of the dreams the hopes the plans and why is there such an oversized disparity between what these people intended to undertake to to and do to to and what they really accomplished first.

We have to define success and here is that the foremost effective definition I've got ever been able to find success is that the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal a success is that the schoolteacher who is teaching because that's what he or she wants to undertake to to to to successful is that the entrepreneur who starts his own company because that was his dream that is what he wanted to undertake and do and do successful is that the salesperson who wants to become the foremost effective salesperson in his or her company and sets forth on the pursuit of that goal successful is anyone who is realizing a worthy predetermined ideal because that's what he or she decided to undertake and do to to deliberately but only 1 out of twenty does that the remainder are failures Rolo may the distinguished psychiatrist wrote a wonderful book called man's looked for himself and thru this book he says the selection of courage in our society isn't cowardice it's conformity and there you have got the rationale for therefore many failures conformity people acting like everyone else without knowing why or where they're going we learn to read by the time.

We are seven we learn to create a living by the time we are thirty often by that point we don't seem to be only making a living we are supporting a family and yet by the time we are sixty-five we've not learned the because of become financially independent within the richest land that has ever been known why we conform most folk are acting rather rather like the wrong percentage group the 95 who don't succeed have you ever wondered why such an unlimited amount of people work so hard and honestly without ever achieving anything specifically and why others don't seem to figure hard yet seem to induce everything they appear to have the magic touch you've heard people say everything he touches turns to gold have you ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever noticed that a personal who becomes successful tends to still become more successful and on the choice hand have you ever ever ever ever ever ever ever noticed how someone who is additionally a failure tends to still fail the difference is goals people with goals succeed because they know where they're going it's that easy failures on the choice hand believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances by things that happen to them by exterior forces consider a ship with the full voyage mapped out and planned.

He captain and crew know exactly where the ship goes and also the way long it'll take it is a particular goal and nine point nine nine fold out of 10 it'll get there now let's take another ship the identical because the primary only let's not put a crew thereon or a captain at the arm let's provides it no aiming point no goal and no destination we just start the engine and let it go I feel you'll agree that if it gets out of the harbour in any respect it'll either sink or finally find yourself on some deserted beach it cannot go anyplace because it's no destination and no guidance it's the identical with somebody's being however the mankind is fixed to not prevent the strong form winning but to forestall the weak from losing society today are often likened to a convoy in time of war the whole society stalled to shield its weakest link while the naval convoy possesses to travel at the foremost effective possible speed which is prepared to permit its slowest vessel to remain information that is why it's extremely easy to form a living today it takes no particular brains or talent to create a living and support a family today we have got a plateau of so called security to succeed all we must do is decide how high above this plateau we'd value more highly to aim throughout history the nice wise men and teachers philosophers and prophets have disagreed with one another on many alternative things it's only on this one point that they are in complete agreement.

The key to success and also the key to failure is we become what we predict about this might otherwise be often often the strangest secret now why do I say it's strange and why do I call it a secret actually it is not a secret at all it had been first promulgated by reasonably the earliest wise men and it appears again and again throughout the Bible but some people have learned it or understand it that's why it's strange and why for some equally strange reason it virtually remains a secret Emperor the great Emperor said a man's life is what his thoughts fabricated from it Disraeli said this everything comes if someone will only wait somebody's being with a settled purpose must accomplish it and zilch can resist the necessity which is prepared to stake even existence for its fulfilment philosopher said we'd like only in cold blood act as if the thing in question were real and it will become infallibly real by growing into such a connection with our life that it will become real it'll become so knit with habit and emotion that our interests in it'll be those which characterize belief he continues only you'd wish to then really wish these things and need them exclusively and not wish at the identical time 100 other incompatible things as strongly my ex Dr. Norman Vincent peale put it this fashion if you think in negative terms you will get negative results if you're thinking that in positive terms you'll achieve positive results George Bernard Shaw said people are always blaming their circumstances for what they're I don't believe circumstances the oldsters that get on during this world are the fogeys that arise and appearance for the circumstances. 

They require and if they'll not find them make them well it's pretty apparent isn't it we become what we expect a pair of 1 who is considering a concrete and worthwhile goal goes to grasp it because that is what he's puzzling over conversely the one that has no goal who doesn't know where he's going and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion anxiety fear and worry will thereby create a lifetime of frustration fear anxiety and worry and if he worries nothing he becomes nothing the human mind is much quite farmer's land the land gives the farmer a choice he may plant during this land whatever he chooses the land doesn't care what's planted it's up to the farmer to create the selection the mind barely atiny low amount rather slightly almost rather rather the identical because the land will return what you plant but it doesn't care what you planned if the farmer plants two seeds one a seed of corn the selection nightshade a deadly poison waters and takes care of the land what's visiting happen remember the land it doesn't care it will return poison and when wonderful abundance because it'll corn so up come the two plans one corn one poison because it's written within the Bible as you sow so shall you reap the human mind is way more fertile rather more incredible and mysterious than the land but it works.

The same way it doesn't care what we plant success or failure a concrete worthwhile goal or confusion misunderstanding fear anxiety then on but what we plant must return the problem is that our mind comes an everyday equipment at birth it's free and things that are given to us for nothing we place little value on things that we pay money for we value the paradox is that precisely the reverse is true everything that's really worthwhile in our life came to us free our minds our souls our bodies our hopes our dreams our ambitions our intelligence.

Our love of family and kids and friends and country of these priceless possessions are free but the items that cost us money are literally the underside and may be replaced at any time an honest man are completely exhausted and make another fortunate he can do that several times whether or not our home burns down we'll rebuild it but the items we got for nothing we are visiting never replace our mind can do any reasonably job we assign it to but generally speaking we use it for little jobs rather than big ones so decide now what's it you'd like planned your goal in your mind it's the foremost important decision you'll ever make in your entire life do I'd value more highly to face out your particular job do i'd value more highly to travel places in your company in your community do you want to urge rich oh you've must do is plant that seed in your mind confirm of it work steadily toward it your goal and it'll become a reality and not only will there's not any way that it cannot you see that's a law rather rather slightly rather almost alittle amount almost a small amount just like the laws of Sir mathematician the laws of gravity if you get on top of a building and acquire down will always go down you'll never go and it is the identical without the laws of nature they always work they're inflexible consider your goal in an exceedingly relaxed positive way picture yourself in your imagination as having already achieved this goal see yourself doing the items you may be doing once you've reached your goal all folks is that the build-up of our own thoughts we are where we are because that's exactly where we actually wants or feel. 

We deserve to be whether we'll admit that or not each folks must live off the fruit of our thoughts within the long run because what you're thinking that today and tomorrow next month and next year will mold your life and determine your future you're guided by your mind I remember just the once i accustomed be driving through eastern Arizona which I saw one in every of those giant earthmoving machines roaring along the road with what gave the impression of 30 many dirt in it an out of this world incredible machine there was alittle amount man perched high on top with the wheel and his hands guiding it as I drove along I accustomed be struck by the similarity of that machine to the human mind just suppose you're sitting at the controls of such an infinite source of energy are you visiting sit back and fold your arms and let it run itself into a ditch or are you visiting keep both hands firmly on the wheel and control and direct this power to a specific worthwhile purpose it's up to you you're within the driver's seat you see the very law that has us success could even be a double-edged sword we must control our thinking the identical rule which is in an exceedingly very very position to steer people to lives of success wealth happiness and every one the items they ever dreamed of that exact same law can lead them into.

The gutter it's tired how they use it permanently or for bad that's the strangest secret do what the experts since the dawn of recorded history have told us to undertake and do to to pay the worth by becoming the person you'd wish to become it's not nearly as difficult as living unsuccessfully the instant you choose on on on on on a goal to figure toward you're immediately a successful person you're then during this rare group of individuals who know where they're going out of each hundred people you belong to the sole real real real five don't concern yourself an excessive amount of with how you're visiting attain your goal leave that completely to an influence greater than yourself all you've to undertake and do and do is know where you're going the answers will come to you out of their own accord and at the correct time start today you have got got got got got got got nothing to lose but you've your whole life to win for the next 30 days follow each of those steps on a commonplace until you've got got got got got got got got got achieved your goal preferred write in an exceedingly card to what it's you wish over anything.

It may be more cash perhaps you would like to double your income or make a particular amount of cash it should be a fine looking home it should be success at your job it should be a specific position in life it could be a more harmonious family write down on your card specifically what it's you would like ensure it is a similar goal and clearly defined you needn't show it to anyone but carried with me in order that you can observe take a look at observe study it several times each day give some thought to it and a cheerful relaxed positive way each morning once you rise look at it every chance you get during the day and just before visiting bed in the dark as you study it remember that you simply must become what you're thinking that about and since you're brooding about your goal you realize that soon it'll be yours in fact it's really yours the instant you write it down and start to consider it number two stop puzzling over what it's you fear when a fearful or negative thought comes into your mind replace it with a picture of your positive and worthwhile and there'll come a time when you'll desire forsaking it's easier for a personality's being to think negatively than positively that's why only 5% are successful you want to begin now to put yourself therein group act as if it were impossible to fail as Dorothea brand said irrespective of what your goal.

If you've kept your goal before you everyday you'll wonder and marvel at this new life you found number three your success will always be measured by the standard and quantity of service you render most people will tell you that they require to create money without understanding this law the sole those who make money add a mint the remainder people must earn money this can be what causes people who keep looking for something for nothing or a free ride to fail in life success isn't the results of making money earning money is that the results of success and success is in direct proportion to our service most people have this law backwards it's just like the man who stands ahead of the stove and says thereto give me heat so.

I'll add the wood what percentage men and girls does one know or does one suppose there are today who take the identical attitude toward life there are millions we have got to place the fuel in before we are able to expect heat likewise we have got to be of service first before we will expect money don't concern yourself with the cash be of service build work dream create do that and you will find there's no limit to the prosperity and abundance which will come to you do not start your tests until you've made up your mind to stay with it if you ought to fail Jim the primary 30 days by that I mean suddenly end up overwhelmed by negative thoughts simply start all over again and go 30 more days gradually your new habit will form until you discover yourself one in every of that wonderful minority to whom virtually nothing is impossible especially don't fret worry brings fear and fear is crippling the sole thing which will cause you to stress during your test is trying to try to to it all yourself know that everyone you have got to try and do is hold your goal before you everything else will be sure of itself take this 30 day test then repeat it and repeat it again when it'll become more part of you until you'll wonder how you.

Could have ever lived the other way live this new way and therefore the floodgates of abundance will open and pour over you more riches than you'll have dreamed existed money yes plenty of it but what's more important you will have peace you will be in this wonderful minority who lead calm cheerful successful lives start today you've got nothing to lose but you've got a life to win you.
