No one becomes successful by accident. Success requires making
a plan and sticking to it. It is simple, but does require
commitment; it is not hard to do, but does require hard work.
The good news is that once you begin, the results start coming
almost instantly. The miracle of successful living is that the
smallest step towards success attracts more success!
Here is a very brief outline of the key points that will
help you achieve the highest levels of success.

(1) LOOK INTO THE NEAREST MIRROR - the person staring back at you
is the only person responsible for your success. Smile!
No one else is the cause of your success or to blame for your
short-comings.
Successful people take full responsibility for their actions.

(2) SMILE BACK AT YOUR REFLECTION. Successful people are cheerful,
optimistic, and forward thinking. If you think you don’t have
anything to smile about, smile anyway. Positive thoughts drive out
negative thoughts.
It’s hard to have a negative thought while you are smiling!

(3) POSITIVE SELF-ESTEEM IS THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS. Feel good
about yourself and your abilities, achievements and potential.
Don’t dwell on your mistakes. Remind and praise yourself on your
past accomplishments. Congratulate yourself for taking positive
steps toward a more successful future.

(4) BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. You are here for a purpose.
God doesn’t make extras just to fill in the scenery.
Find your mission and begin working to fulfill it.

(5) DESIRE TO BE A SUCCESS.
Decide right now that you will be successful.
Commit to being successful.

(6) ASSOCIATE WITH SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE. Do what they do. When faced
with choices, make the choice a successful person would make.
Blow your bonus check on a gambling trip or invest it?

(7) AVOID UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE. Do not under any circumstances
associate with negative people. Negative people are toxic; they
destroy, they do not build. They are vampires that can live only by
draining the life from others. The odds are greater that they will
pull you down faster than you can lift them up. You can choose
to stay away from all the negative people in your life.
Avoid all the whiners, complainers, blamers and thumbsuckers.

(9) WRITE DOWN A VISION of how you want to live your life. Be specific.
Where you want to live, what kind of carpet, who your friends are,
the pony’s name, what the new church rec hall you donated looks like,
etc. Make a Future Scrapbook; paste in pictures, drawings, essays,
clippings. Make up news headlines about your achievements.
Every day visualize yourself as you would like to be -
and then act that way!

(10) WRITE DOWN YOUR BIGGEST GOAL, the one you most want to fulfill.
Write it in the present tense, “I am…”, “I have…”,
“I contribute…”. Success is the result of a personal decision,
so start your goal with “I”. Read your goal aloud every morning
and night. Tell people your goal.
Make a plan to achieve your goal and stick to it.

(11) STUDY THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS. Read books, listen to tapes,
watch videos and positive TV programming. Talk to successful people
and ask them how they became successful. Fill your mind with
positive thoughts and give yourself positive self-affirmations.

(12) EVERY DAY DO SOMETHING that brings you closer to your goal.
Never give up. You can only fail if you quit trying.
Keep on keeping on and you will succeed. Achieving success
requires following a system.
Begin today by putting these 12 points into daily practice.

Everybody experiences fear of failure, uncertainty, insecurity,
low self-esteem, indecision, depression, nervousness and embarrassment.
Successful people master these temporary conditions by taking positive
action, by sticking to their plan, by maintaining their vision of the
future, by learning from setbacks and by rededicating themselves to
the pursuit of their mission. By following these simple steps you will
become successful and achieve all that you desire.
