Success is not something that only a chosen few may achieve. Everyone may be successful in each area of his or her life. You just need to recognise how to do things in such a way as to make sure you succeed each time. Success comes as a result of forming sure habits, and continuing in them. Consistency is key. To succeed, you need to be a sure type of person. Don’t be discouraged if you are not yet that type of person. With practice, any person may become a successful person. The successful person thinks in a sure way, talks in a sure way, and acts in a sure way. The list underneath briefly outlines 10 of those ways (and a bonus tip!). Anyone who systematically applies these principles to any area of their life *will* experience success in that area.

1. Vision: Have a clear picture of what incisively it is you want to achieve or become. Keep this picture at the top of your mind at all times. Doing something you want to do, because you want to do it, will motivate you to succeed at it. Start with the end in mind.
2. Belief: Believe without a shadow of a doubt that you may do it. Believe that you will succeed. Believe in a Higher Power who is helping you get what you want. Stay away from negative influences (people, books/articles, anything negative), which make you doubt your capacity to succeed. Surround yourself with things that remind you that you can, and will, succeed.
3. Responsibility: Realize that you alone are responsible for your future. You alone are responsible for the outcome of your efforts. Don’t look for anybody to blame. Feel free to ask for help as you need it, but do not forget the final decision is up to you. It’s your life, after all.
4. Affirm: Make a habit of saying out piercing what you hope to achieve. Speak of it in the present tense, e.g., ‘I am fit and trim’, as opposed to ‘I will be fit and trim’. If you feel awkward speaking out earsplitting to yourself, write down the affirmation. Then look at it (or better still, rewrite it) various times each day. This helps your mind stay focalized on the goal. It also builds your self-belief and confidence.
5. Commitment: Make a firm commitment to action. Decide to take whatsoever steps you need to take to aid you achieve your goals. Then honour the commitment you’ve made. Too ofttimes we find it easy to keep our commitments to others while neglecting to keep our commitments to ourselves. This pattern has to change if you’re to succeed in life.
6. Set a SMART goal: Now that you know what you want to achieve or become, you need to define it by making it a goal. Your goal has to be Specific, Measurable (you need a popular to help you know when you’ve achieved it) and Motivational (it’s got to inspire you and keep you motivated), Attainable and Attractive, Realistic (no point setting an unrealistic goal such as “I want to be a millionaire this evening”) and Timed (State when you hope to achieve it).
7. Plan and Take Action: Work out a plan of action. Break down the plan into baby steps. Take a step or two each day, reminding yourself that each step is bringing you closer to your goal. Perform each act to the best of your ability, filled with faith, determination and intention to reach your goal. Most importantly, be consistent.
8. Persistence: Do not give up until you have achieved what you desire. In the course of things, be more than willing to change any portion of your plan which turns out not to work, and try something else. Thomas Edison did not give up in his quest to construct the light bulb, even though he’d ‘failed’ 10,000 times. Now that’s persistence! See each failure as a stepping-stone to success and as a temporary set back. Learn from it and push on towards your goal.
9. Gratitude: Maintain an attitude of gratitude, knowing that your dream is when it comes to to become a reality. Refuse to grumble when circumstances look contrary. Refuse to complain. Be thankful for where you are now, and for where you are headed. Look around for things to be thankful for. You’ll be amazed to find rather a few.
10. Become a giver. In your relationships, always think in terms of what you may do for the other person. What goes round comes round. After all, whatsoever dreams you have most likely implicate interacting with other people. Be kind and generous to all; you never recognise where your breakthrough will come from.

Bonus Principle. Be in the know: Find out everything you may with regards to your situation/goal. Read books, listen to tapes, and talk to experts, whatsoever it takes. This will help you make wise conclusions and keep you convinced as you go along.

So there you have it. I have given you a summary of principles which, if you apply consistently, WILL guarantee you success in any endeavour. Don’t just take my word for it, though. Prove it yourself by actually applying it to your life situation.

Knowledge is not powerful until you act on what you know. Think when it comes to that. Better yet, act on it! You’ll be glad you did.
