The basic rule for success is for you to continue to remind yourself that you are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. You are in your current situation because you have decided to be there.
You have made the individual choices and decisions that have gotten you to your current place in life. If you want to go somewhere else or be someone else, it is totally up to you to make the choices and decisions today that will eventually get you there.
Positive Thinking Will Change Your Life
Here is another rule: If you want your life to get better, you have to get better.
This simply means that your outer world will be a reflection of your inner world. If you want your outer world to improve, you must go to work on improving your inner world.
Change Your Thinking
Here is another rule: If you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life.
And since you can change the quality of your thinking almost infinitely, there are no limits on how you can change and improve every part of your life, in any direction you want to go.
There is a lot of talk today about “positive thinking, and I think that positive thinking is very important.
It is much better for you to think positively about yourself and your possibilities than for you to think negatively. But the danger is that positive thinking can quickly turn into positive wishing and hoping. Positive wishing and hoping can turn a person into a very optimistic and happy failure.
Abraham Mallow said that the story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short, and settling for far less than that of which they are capable. Don’t let this happen to you.
