What does success really means to you? For some people, success means having a lot of money. While for some other people, success means having good relationship and good health. No matter what definition of success you have in your heart, if you are committed to achieve the success you want, you will have to possess some habits and mindsets. The reason successful people are successful is because they have different mindset and habits with ordinary people.

Therefore, if you want to be successful today, just model the habits and mindset of successful people and you will create the same amazing results just like them. Below are the top 3 recipes you need in order to be successful.

1. Be committed in achieving success. You have to be committed no matter what. If you are not committed, you will never achieve the things you want in your life. Many people just hope to success, they dream to success and they wish to success. They will never commit to success and that is why they fail to achieve great success in their life. Just like will you spend time reading annual reports the moment you have to? Or are you going to watch television instead of doing something that will lead you to your success?

2. Get out of your comfort zone. If you stay in your comfort zone, you will never improve. And if you want to improve, you must get out of your comfort zone. Are you willing to stay up late just to finish off your work before you sleep? Are you willing to venture out of your comfort zone and go to other country to learn more and improve yourself? There are a lot of obstacles in our life; you must be able to overcome them by getting out of your comfort zone.

3. Have the courage to make the right decision. Many times in our life, you will face the moment where you have to choose and make decisions. For example, when you see an ad in the newspaper showing you that there is an opportunity to learn and build a million-dollar business, but you will have to pay the cost of $1,000. Will you grab the opportunity and go for it or are you going to just let that opportunity slip away? You need the courage to make decisions in your journey to success.

These are the 3 recipes that you need in order to be successful in your life. You must be committed, be willing to get out of your comfort zone and have the courage to make the right decision in your life. These are the top 3 recipes that you need to be successful.

When do you know you have reached success? Is there certain goals you know you have reached, when you think you have a successful life?

I get sick of hearing the comments; ‘I don’t have enough energy to be successful.’

Or, ‘you are more successful because you have more energy than me.’

How much energy do you need to aim for success?

Energy can be defined as ‘the capacity for vigorous activity; available power; the capacity to do the work.’

Success can be defined as ‘a favorable outcome; the gaining of wealth and fame.’

My definition of success is ‘using your available power to achieve your desired outcome (success).’

If your desired outcome is failure you will need the same energy to be a successful failure, than you will need to be a successful successor!

In mathematical terms,

Success = (energy applied + desired success related outcomes).

Failure = (energy applied + desired failure related outcomes).

Focusing on the negative takes as much energy as focusing on the positive.

Being depressed about your failures takes the same energy as being elated with your successes.

So if the level of energy used to be miserable is the same as what is needed to be successful why is it that some will and some won’t be successful when both expand the same amount of energy?

There are the group who will comment that success is all based on how lucky you are, or that you were in the right place at the right time, or that you shop or business was in the right position for your good fortune to just happen. Well for the majority of successful people, luck has never played a role and the other two suggestions are the result of planning and applying the success equation.

‘The Secret’ movie has created incredible interest worldwide, with inputs in the movie from successful and wealthy people, who all followed the same map. Media commentaries and news headlines have emerged relating to those who have (allegedly) ripped off as many systems as they could to gain success, at the same time reportedly using the concepts portrayed in the movie; to the group who have supposedly followed the flow and dreamed up their success only to still be a failure. Let’s not forget those who continue to whine that they just hate all this fluffy stuff that is going on around them.

‘The Secret’did its job, it created success for the journalistic producer, whether you like it or not and the secret or the science behind ‘the Secret’ has been making people successful for a very long time, also whether you believe it or not, the concepts will continue to lead people to success for a very long time to come.

Why is it, that globally, there are a group of successful people who have previously been ’street people’, drug users, school dropouts and English or Math failures or ex janitors with limited education? What is it that this group of people has, or what is it that they have developed to be so successful and living the life of their desires?

Part of the answer is to get a mentor, no matter what areas you want to add improvement to in your life, common sense, or your inner gut feeling, will tell you this, go and find yourself a mentor or a coach.

But, and there is a big but and this is where the majority come to the brick wall. This is the total crux of the matter and it doesn’t matter how many books, programs, DVD’s, seminars you attend or business ventures you get involved in, until you totally understand and take a grip of what rules you, governs your behavior, what controls your thinking, what controls the system that you have filed deep within your brain cells nothing will change.

You will continue to try to use the equation of success as previously mentioned, but without the real science, success will continue to evade you.

Success is a science, numerous books have been written on how the science works and there are variables (obstacles) that just pop up in people’s lives that need to be negotiated if a success outcome is to be achieved. I always find it so interesting how one can lead their life obstacle free, until the time comes to change their life!

As success requires a little bit more than just your ordinary energy and a strong desire, I developed my equation for success believing that if you live by it each and every day (that is the big ask) you will achieve your goals. By studying the great minds of our past century and those that are successful, no matter what we set out to do requires a blueprint, or a roadmap, but it also requires the ingredient that inspires the momentum - a shift in conscious thinking - a shift in your mindset.

Having worked with children with disabilities, including blind children, (most don’t regard themselves as having disability) I have had the gratification of learning the following amazing success equations;

SELF DETERMINATION = (knowledge - pity) + (skills x confidence) + blind role models

SUCCESS =self-determination + (talent x perseverance)

The equation that leads these children to be successful in life led me to develop my equation, an equation that has led me to my success; my suggestion is to put a blindfold on for at least one full day and you will get the secret ingredient necessary for success, the change in mindset, the most important secret ingredient to your success.

You don’t have to be brilliant at math to master the success equation just apply it;

SUCCESS = (mindset + knowledge) + (action x perseverance) + mentor.

Achieving success in life is a journey, full of trials and tribulations, ups and downs, the good and the bad but most of all its one big learning experience. When you realize that you are not the only person who goes through bad circumstances or bad situations, things become a bit clearer. Everybody has negative impacts of some kind in life and that should help you realize that you are not alone in this world. Achieving success is largely about how you respond to those negative situations and how well you pick your self back up and continue fighting for your dreams. It is your dreams and nobody else is going to fight for them for you. It is up to you to define those dreams and fight to achieve them.

Defining Your Success

Your success story cannot be built by anybody else, it cannot be written by anybody else because you are the one with the pen. You must define your own success. Figure out what it is that you most enjoy in life, where you see yourself years from now and what you want to accomplish in life. These are the questions you need to ask yourself in order to define your success. Take time out to really find out where you see your life going and what direction you really want it to go in. Your life is much like a game of chess, checkers or even dominoes, you have to think head of time about what you want to achieve. Then you have to figure out how you can achieve that within your next couple moves. When figuring out what you want to achieve in life and what you view being successful in life really means to you, you can then use that as your definition of success. Once your success is defined then you make the necessary steps to attaining that success.



Knowing Your Value and Purpose

Every human being is created equally but also created uniquely aswell. Do you believe it was just by change that you were born with the qualities you have? With the faults that you have? Or do you believe it was an accident that you were blessed with the family you were born into? I don’t think chance or accident are words that cover my life and all the variables in my life and I don’t believe you should denounce your life to chance or accident.

I wake up every morning and open my eyes, breathe fresh air and I thank the Lord for waking me another morning. After thanking God for another day I take a moment to appreciate all of his creations, the birds, the trees, the land and the sky. All of these things have a life of their own and they all play an integral part in this great universe that we live in. All animals, reptiles and insects play their part in the food chain, even when we think certain insects may simply be useless (i.e. mosquitoes) but in the grand scheme of things they play a part. Everything with a life force on this planet does what it is suppose to do effortlessly and harmoniously with the universe.

Man was made in the image of the Lord, birds weren’t made in his image, neither was any other animal but we human beings were blessed and made in his image and placed here on Earth to rule over all his creations. We were made the most unique and complex of all his creations and we were made with a purpose. Everything else has a purpose and a reason for being here and so do we, it is for us to find out what that purpose is so that we can spend more time working to fulfill that purpose. Once we understand our purpose, our dreams will become clearer to us. How do you find out what your purpose in life is? You ask your creator. Only the creator of an invention can tell you what the function of that invention is. You are totally unique and like nothing else in this world, so stand out to the world like that, shine the way that you were made to shine, fulfill your purpose!

Accomplishing Your Goals

Since you were crafted to perfection by the greatest craftsman of them all and you were so uniquely made that there is nothing else like you on this planet, you should believe in yourself. I mean you are unique which makes you just as special as any other person out there. So why is it that other people should be allowed to enjoy the benefits of being successful and wealthy but not you?

There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to reap the benefits of success. You must admit to yourself that if you are no as successful as you want to be at this very moment you are probably doing something wrong. if you can admit that your own way is foolish and you are no longer interesting in living how you were living before then we can truly start to see some progress. Accomplishing your goals is a matter of discipline and determination.

“The reason so many people fail to achieve their goals in life is that they never really set them in the first place.” – Denis Waitley

You first need to set your goals and understand the work it is going to take to achieve those goals. Even if you have no idea what exactly you are going to do to achieve them. Knowing what your goals are is a big enough step at first.

You want to set long-term goals for your self as well as short-term goals. Long-term goals for trying to accomplish your lifetime goals and short-term goals as progress points and milestones to keep you focused on achieving your lifetime success. You need to have more than just a good idea as to the amount of work necessary to accomplishing your dreams and goals. You want to make an effective plan. Your plan will be your blueprint to achieving success and accomplishing your goals.

“People don’t PLAN to FAIL, they simply FAIL to PLAN.”

Planning is an essential part of achieving success because no business, no corporation or no state was built without a plan. Many people have dreams, many set goals but without a plan to execute, in order to work towards those dreams and those goals, you merely have nothing. Action has to be taken in order to get through your journey to success.

Have a clear definition of what success means to you and have a clear vision of yourself being successful. Understand how much value you offer to this world and figure out what your purpose is and your vision of success will become clearer. With a definition of success and a vision, you only need to equipped yourself with a plan and take action by executing it. Your success is only just around the bend. Learn to be successful, live in success and empower others through your success.

To Your Success!

Specifically, how would the medical community evaluate a new medical procedure so as to label it a success? I’m hoping for a somewhat broad answer, backed by legitimate citations. I’m guessing that a new procedure is labeled a success when it achieves its intended purpose; what I’m looking for is if the medical community has stated if success, generally, means that a procedure causes more help than harm to the condition of the patient.
