Do you really wish to achieve success?

If you do, and if you are reading this article you probably do, then what are doing about it? Are you just reading books?

Often, people read a book on creative visualization, or what is now called the law of attraction, and get inspired by it. They realize that they can really improve their life, and for a while live with feelings of euphoria. Often, these feeling are short lived, and unless they read another book, the inspiration and euphoria fade away.

Some people read a book, and another book and then another one. They finish reading one book, and then promise themselves that they will start implementing what they read after they finish reading another book, but when they finish reading the next book, they search for another one and then for another one.

They simply become addicted to reading the books. They thrive on the high feelings the books give them.

Books offer information and point the way, but the work has to be done by you. Successful people did not become successful just by wishing they could succeed. They worked both on the mental and the physical planes.

Often, people do not take action and use what they learn. They do not wish to make any effort, are too lazy or are afraid of obstacles, failure or what people might say about them. They live in their imaginary world, and only dream of success. They read books on success, visualization or self-improvement, but this is the only thing they do about achieving success, which is not enough.

Success requires acting and doing!

Are you willing to step into what is called “the real world” and work and act and interact with people? Are you really willing to do whatever it takes to improve your life? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve success?

In one of my previous posts I have mentioned Dorina Sasson’s book ‘Slimming Starts in the Mind’. Here is an excerpt from her book, about the role of passion, ambition and desire in achieving any kind of success.

Passion, Ambition and Desire
By Dorina Sasson

Passion, ambition and desire are the driving forces that lead to success, without them, your goal cannot be accomplished. Passion, ambition and desire energize your thoughts, in the same way that the electric current energizes and operates machines and appliances.

If you focus the energy of ambition and desire into your goal, you’ll make your goal possible and within reach.

Look at people who have achieved success. They did not attain their success just by thinking about it in a lukewarm way, they were moved by passion, ambition and desire. Though their road was bumpy from time to time, passion, ambition and desire pushed them forward, until they achieved the success they pursued.

Now, you are probably asking yourself, how can you produce enough passion and ambition to slim, in spite of past failure, inner resistance and maybe also some laziness?

You attract into your life what you think about frequently. Most of the thoughts are weak and are not repeated long enough to gain sufficient strength. Weak thoughts, like a weak magnet, hardly have any attractive power.

You have seen how a magnet draws metal objects. A strong and big magnet draws bigger objects, than a small and weak one. Magnets have another peculiar characteristic. One side of the magnet draws, and the other side repels.

A magnet draws toward itself everything made of iron, no matter whether it is a useful object or junk. The mind acts in the same way. It attracts into your life positive and negative situations and events, according to the thoughts that you think. The law of attraction is neutral; it can attract positive or negative situations, according to your predominant thoughts.

Like the magnet, the mind not only attracts, but it also repels. If you doubt your ability to attract a certain object, person or situation into your life, then you repel it with this attitude. Thoughts of incompetence, weakness, fear and inferiority create a repellent force. It is as if you are creating a wind that blows away and prevents certain things to reach you.

This means that you need have no doubts, be full of faith in your abilities, and have a strong desire, in order to make your mind behave like a magnet and create the life you desire.

I haven’t posted new posts in the blog for over a week, because I was busy reading and preparing for publishing Dorina Sasson’s new book on slimming.

In this book, Slimming Starts in the Mind, Dorina explains how to develop the proper mental attitude required for slimming, and how to program and activate the mind to help you lose weight.

Visualization, affirmations and meditation are used for various purposes, and they can also be used for losing weight. In this book, Dorina clearly explains how to use these mental tools to lose weight, and provides all the required information and guidance.

This approach is different from other losing weight techniques. It is a unique and productive approach to slimming, without the stress and inner resistance that usually accompanies diets and losing weight techniques.

These same techniques that she teaches, can also be applied to other areas of life, where one desires to achieve success.

It is a different book from other books on losing weight, as it focuses on the most important factor - the mind. It is not about counting calories and on diets, but on using the powers of the mind to help you lose weight.

Are you aware that your mind is always occupied with thoughts? Are you aware that thoughts constantly demand your attention, dictate your behavior and reactions?

Do you sometimes feel that your mind is going to explode from nonstop thinking? Can you focus your attention on what you are doing at any moment, or are you constantly distracted by all kinds of thoughts, negative thinking or negative expectations? You need to learn to overcome your nonstop thinking in order to gain control over your attention.

Do you sometimes wish your mind could just stop thinking for a little while, and let you enjoy some rest and peace? Like an engine, it has to rest to avoid wear and tear. It needs some rest from time to time, in order to recharge itself and your body.

The mind often looks like a cluttered room, with no free space and no place to move. When you empty your room it will look bigger and tidier, and it will be more pleasant to be there. So it is with your mind. Remove the clutter - the unnecessary thoughts, the worries and the fears, and your life would look happier and brighter.
