Clarity of purpose is important for the achievement of success and for making dreams come true. Your dream or goal must be specific and clear and not not something vague. While it’s fun to dream about being rich and successful, you have to know and define what you really and truly want to get or achieve. Clarity of purpose is important for any success, for losing weight, getting a new car or travelling abroad. If you don’t know exactly what you want, how can you get it?

When there is clarity of purpose you know what steps to take. With clarity of purpose you focus on the goal, without wasting time or energy. Clarity of purpose is like focusing a strong source of light on your goal, so that you see it clearly.

Developing clarity of purpose

Here are a few tips to help developing clarity of purpose.

  1. Know what you want.
  2. Investigate why you want to achieve your goal, and what you will gain by achieving it.
  3. Be certain that you really want to achieve your goal.
  4. Read and learn about your goal.
  5. See pictures about your goal.
  6. Visualize your goal clearly.
  7. In your mind, see all the details.
  8. Be specific as to color, size, quantity, shape, place, etc, of what you want to get or accomplish.
  9. Learn to focus your mind on your goal.
  10. Remove clutter from your life.
  11. Display perseverance and some self discipline in your life.

A Better Life Starts in the Mind

It is difficult to stay positive, when you lose your job and lose your money. At such a time, it is so easy to fall prey to negative thinking and imagining more disasters. Yet, it is at this time that positive thinking becomes so important.

If you let your thoughts become negative, if you feel despair, will this help you in any way? Absolutely not! You may say that the world conditions have changed and you can do nothing about it. You may say you are too old, or too inexperienced to get a new job, and that new jobs are sparse and hard to get. All this might be true, but there have always people who became successful even in difficult times.

You limit yourself by your thoughts, ideas and beliefs. Thoughts can be like shackles, tying you to the ground, and they can be like wings, taking you far away. It is your choice. A better life starts in the mind.

You might not be able to change you circumstances and the world around you, but you can change your inner, mental world. You can choose your thoughts, you can refuse to feel pity for yourself and picture problems and disasters, and you can fill your mind with positive thoughts and mental images.

All changes start in the mind, and you therefore need to change the way you think in order to improve your life. If you keep thinking about your current situation, of having no job and no money, you will get more despondent and unhappy and see more problems, because you focus on them, and do nothing to get out of this situation.

The Success Industry

June 10, 2008 By 1 Comment

By Remez Sasson

The success industry has turned into a huge machine, creating a growing number of books, videos, audios and workshops, all promising big and quick success, without any effort. All these products create a sense of euphoria, great expectations, and often, also frustration. The producers of many of these products make great promises, and tell you that all you need to succeed is just a little of your time. Sometimes all you have to do is just repeat a few affirmations or visualize a goal a few minutes a day, and you will soon enjoy great success and the fulfillment of your dreams.

Can this be true? Does everyone who reads the book, listens to the video or participates in the workshop become a great success? In spite of all these products and promises, how many really succeed? How many really successful people are, in relation to the entire population?

Don’t misunderstand me. I believe in the power of the mind. I have written articles and books on this subject, but I also believe in common sense and in being practical. Creative visualization and the law of attraction are useful tools that work when used correctly, and there are good and useful books and other products available. I am speaking here about the growing tendency of making great promises and the tendency to oversimplify things.

I am sure you have bought and read more than one book, audio or video about achieving success. How many have read the book, listened to the audio or watching the video they have bought, and more important, how many have followed and implemented the instructions? There is a great distance between experiencing a feeling of elation, which people often experience when they are first introduced to these subjects, to actually using the techniques, persevering and then gaining results.

Quotes on Ambition and Success

May 3, 2008 By 1 Comment

Quotes inspire, and are often condensed words of wisdom. If you think deeply on a quote, you will find much more than just an ispiring sentence.  When reading quotes, always read “between the lines”, as this will awaken your intuition, and brings up guidance and deeper understanding.

Quotes on ambition and success can awaken more ambition, and provide understanding of what ambition and  success mean. 

Here are a few quotes about ambition and success:

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Thomas Jefferson
 
Before success comes in any man’s life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.
Napoleon Hill  

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
Napoleon Hill

Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
Napoleon Hill

You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for.
Napoleon Hill        

As long as you’re going to think anyway, think big.
Donald Trump

Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.
Lao Tzu

Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.
Mark Twain

Do You Really Wish to Achieve Success?

April 29, 2008 By 1 Comment

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?
