SUCCESS IS JOURNEY NOT DESTINATION

Someone has well said, “Success is a journey, not destination.” Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is  too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all its trials and troubles and perhaps more interesting because of them. We all have the potential for a Perfect Life. We all have the potential to achieve great things and live a life filled with joy, accomplishment and pure bliss. In some of us, this potential is slumbering deep inside, waiting only to be tapped and tested. The most noble of pursuits is to ignite this fire for personal mastery and life excellence. 

The Law of Attraction is the dominant law of the mind. People with a positive expectation of super success will attract opportunities to allow them to arrive at this destination.  Mental pictures and verbalization play a big role in stimulating your subconscious  mind. Your mind has the capacity to hold only one thought in its focus at any one time. There is a Success Mechanism inside your mind which craves positive stimulation. It awaits your instructions.  Work on a daily basis to condition your mind to peak performance. It has been said that the mind is a terrible master but a wonderful servant. By seeking to improve your mind and condition it to upgrade thoughts, this wonderful servant will most certainly bring you all the peace, When your every thought and your every action is directed to your ultimate life goals, you become unstoppable and assured of great success and happiness. When you cultivate your mind, body and character, your life takes on powerful dimensions that you never thought possible.

Some men see things as they are and say “why”;

I dream of things that never were and say “why not.”

George Bernard Shaw

There are people who make things happen. There are people who watch things happen. And there are people who say, “what happened?” You will learn the finest strategies and techniques available to profoundly improve your mind, body and character. You have within you incredible powers to achieve anything you have ever dreamed about. One of the most essential truths to recognize is the fact that the only limits on what we can achieve in life are those we create and place on ourselves. Circumstances are the creation of people and not the other way around. Peak performers, as opposed to the weak performers, have trained themselves to shape the events of their lives rather than being shaped by them. Think of the current limitations in your life, the obstacles preventing you from attaining your dreams and that state of   If you don’t understand this principle, you will never realize the wonderful destiny that could be made. The mind has immeasurable and vast potential that remains untapped in most people. 

It has been said that even the best conditioned thinkers use only about 25% of their minds. What happened to the remaining 75%? Indian yogis living high up in the Himalayan mountains have disciplined their minds to the point where they can control their so-called involuntary processes such as their heartbeat, digestion and nervous functioning. These wise sages of the East have been dipping their fingers into the vast pool of mental potential for over 5000 years and have refined mastery of the mind into a science. Through a combination of meditative techniques and breath control these yogis are able to withstand enormous amounts of physical pain and go for extended periods without food or sleep. Such is the power within every one of us. Mothers whose children  have fallen under cars have, in the heat of the moment, lifted the vehicle to save their little ones. Seventy-year-old men have run marathons and  climbed mountains. There are simply no limits for a person who accepts no limits. The human mind and spirit can perform miracles if properly used and conditioned for excellence. And yet most human minds remain uncultivated, unexplored and unchallenged. 

On an average day, the average person thinks about 60,000 thoughts. Even more startling is the fact that 95% of those thoughts are the same as the ones you thought the day before. Limited thinking patterns must be exploded and you must exert your tremendous mind strength to develop the habit of Limitless Thinking. Throw off the shackles of your old thinking patterns. All successful people have come to realize that your thoughts form your world and you truly cannot afford the luxury of even one negative thought. The first step to a life full of wonders is to see that your outside world begins with your inside world and every single thought must be one that will take you farther along the path of a perfect life. Your thoughts can create magic and every thing you have ever wanted. Today’s thoughts build tomorrow’s dreams. 

As Napoleon Hill wrote in his wonderful book, Think and Grow Rich : 

“whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.”

So an immediate challenge for you is to weave your new habit of Limitless Thinking today. The mind is like a muscle, if it is weak it can be conditioned for strength. If you currently worry too much or live in the past, this negative habit can be erased through the exercise. the powerful habit of thinking without limitations as to what you can do, have, feel and enjoy, arrives through gradual and steady conditioning of the mind. Positive thinking is pure habit and is not easy at first if you have allowed weeds to take over the garden of your mind. But the prosperous mindset can be developed as any other habit. Habit is like building a cable: each day the action is taken, the cable becomes stronger until the point is reached where it is unbreakable.   As Emerson wrote: “what lies behind us and what lies in front of us pales in comparison to what lies within us".
