LAW OF SUCCESS

Success does not come by chance; it comes by adjusting yourself to the ever varying and changing environment of life. The course of success has been created for the serious minded people, People who devote at least a portion of their time to the business of succeeding in life. You have to correct some weaknesses in your personality before you can succeed. The most outstanding of these weaknesses are; intolerance, cupidity, greed, jealousy, suspicion, revenge, egotism, conceit, the tendency to reap where you have not sown and the habit to spend more than you earn. All these are common enemies of success.
LAW 1: MASTERMIND
Mastermind means a mind that is developed through the harmonious cooperation of two or more people who ally themselves for the purpose of accomplishing any given task. No man has a chance to enjoy permanent success until he begins to look in a mirror of himself for the real cause of all his mistakes. You cannot enjoy outstanding success in life without power and you cannot enjoy power without sufficient personality to influence other people to cooperate with you in a spirit of harmony.
LAW 2: DEFINITE CHIEF AIM
It means having a definite future plan. It is the main activity you intend to carry out in a future time. It is appalling to know that 75% of the people of the world are drifting aimlessly through life without the slightest conception of the need of such a thing as a definite chief aim towards which to strive. There is a psychological as well as an economic reason for the selection of a definite chief aim. Any definite chief aim that is deliberately fixed in the mind and held there, with the determination to realize, finally saturates the entire subconscious mind until it automatically influences the physical action of the body towards the attainment of that purpose. Your definite chief aim in life should be selected with deliberate care and after it has been selected, should be written and placed in a place where you will see it at least once a day, the psychological effect is to impress this purpose upon your subconscious mind so strongly that it accepts that purpose as a pattern that will eventually dominate your activities in life and lead you step by step towards the attainment of the objective. The subconscious mind may be likened to a magnet and when it has been vitalized and thoroughly saturated it attracts all that is necessary for the fulfillment of that purpose.
There is much evidence to justify the belief that when your chief aim is well developed, you will attain your goal; all great leaders base their leadership on a definite chief aim and followers are willing followers when they know that their leader is a person with a definite chief aim.
LAW 3: SELF CONFIDENCE
Always know that nothing can bring you success but yourself though you will need the cooperation of others if you aim to attain success of a far reaching nature but you will never get that cooperation unless you vitalize your mind with the positive attitude of self confidence.


Self confidence formular
1. I have the ability to achieve my purpose therefore I demand of myself persistent, aggressive and continuous action towards its attainment.
2. I realize that the dominating thoughts of my mind eventually reproduce themselves in outward bodily actions and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. Therefore, I will concentrate my mind for 30 minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to be by creating a mental picture of this person and transforming that picture into reality through practical service.
3. I have clearly mapped out and written down a description of my definite purpose in life.
4. I have fully realized that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will induce others to serve me because I will first serve them. I will eliminate hatred, jealousy, selfishness etc by developing love for all humanity because I know that a negative attitude towards others can never bring me success.
Form the habit of thinking and talking of prosperity and abundance and very soon, material evidence of these will begin to manifest itself in the nature of wider opportunity and new and unexpected opportunity. If you are in business and have formed the habit of thinking and talking about business being bad, business will be bad. You are a magnet and you are constantly attracting to you people whose character harmonize with your own. When you talk and think of prosperity, you will attract people who have the same vision with you. Likewise, when you fill your mind with negative thoughts, you will attract to yourself people who share your vision.
LAW 4: AVOID THE SLAVERY OF DEBT
Debt is a merciless master, a fatal enemy of the saving habit. Poverty alone is sufficient to kill off ambitions, destroy self confidence and destroy hope but add to it the burden of debt and all who are victims of these two cruel masters are practically doomed to failure. No man can achieve his/her purpose with debt hanging over his head. The man bound by slavery of debt is just bas helpless as the slave who is bound by ignorance or by actual chains.
Classes of debt
1. Debt incurred for luxuries
2. Debt incurred in the course of professional or business trading which can be converted back to cash
The first is to be totally avoided. The second class can be indulged in providing the one incurring the debt uses judgement and does not go beyond the bounds of reasonable limitation. The moment one buys beyond his limitation, he enters the realm of speculation and speculation swallows more of its victims than it enriches.
