The law of success guarantees each of us who seek self-knowledge, who work at improving themselves, who build their self-confidence a success that is unequaled by common man. The common man is the man who doesn’t strive to better themselves.
The Common Man, Failure Designed In
The common man walks through life asleep because he doesn’t know and hasn’t found a better way. His life is made up of the motions of life but like so many others he is walking down the cattle trail following in the direction of so many others who will live and die but never reach their potentials.
Some common men actually wake for a time but come to believe that they can never accomplish the things they seek to do. Emerson said,
Every artist was first an amateur.
Emerson meant you pick something up but those who will be successful will take the time to learn it and understand it. Others seek to be the best from the beginning and will soon give it up. The old adage is true, you must learn to crawl before you can walk.
The Uncommon, What Woke this Young Woman, And Prompted Her On To Fame?
Wilma Rudolph, the great Olympic star who could only walk with a leg brace after polio. Her family continued to encourage her until her desire to walk was so great that she sneaked out to practice walking and wound up a great Olympic Runner. It was not facts in her life that created her achievement. It was the power of the thoughts in her mind and her self-discoveries that compelled her to walk and later compelled her to make a contribution to sports.
Notice Wilma Rudolph was not given permission to do anything and had one of the biggest road blocks a person destined to be a world class runner could have, crippling polio. But her desire to succeed was built to such a level by her families encouragement and by herself that she has shown us the great power of our minds and spirit to overcome what would seem to be the impossible.
Activating The Law of Success Begins In Your Mind
Every great act or accomplishment always begins with an idea. Imagine, a single idea is behind every great accomplishment. Napoleon Hill who was the best known success writer of the 20th century popularized the ideas by saying: “Everything the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.” This is the challenge to you to activate that place in your mind, in your should that will allow you great success and allow you to achieve the uncommon.
Most people have run across and tried MLM opportunities before and have serious doubts about the MLM industry. But with the downturn in the economy many are looking again, trying to get a home based business going. I have both had doubts about MLM and have seen friends succed. In fact Network Marketing, Multi Level Marketing is a $25 Billion+ industry.
Here is a brief interview with Dr. Charles King of the University of Illinois, Dr. King has taught MLM at the University since 1994. Dr. King talks about the professionalism of the industry and it is true, the industry is expanding. If you are looking at MLM opportunities make no mistake there is a lot of hard work involved and your biggest challenge may be yourself. It is easy to get discouraged but as with many other things “he conquers who endures.”
Always carefully research the MLM Opportunities that you are considering. An MLM home business gives you great opportunity but research the company, and search yourself to see if you have or can develop the qualities in yourself to be successful.
Do you take responsibility for your life? Is your success or failure in your hands or are they just something that blows into your life?
Take Responsibility, You Determine Success In Your Life
What determines whether you achieve your dreams. If you get right down to things you will discover that it is you. Do you give up when obstacles come between you and your dreams or do you find a way around. Are you committed to achieving you dreams or are you ready to roll over when there is a setback.
Don’t give up. Quitting is a habit and it is a habit you cannot afford if your dreams are important. Quitting is a choice. A man who certainly had every right to quit was Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. The easiest thing in the world would have been for him to stop and make peace with the South. But he chose to keep moving forward even in the days where the war looked impossible and personal tragedy swirled around him.
Lincoln lost his young son Willie early in the war to typhoid fever and yet Lincoln continued in his resolve to bring the Union back together despite the fact that his Generals wouldn’t press on, despite the fact that Robert E Lee was kicking his army in the ass, and all of the other obstacles that were thrown before him.
Lincoln was considered a political hack by many when he came to the White House but the same men who labeled him that had seen his greatness by the end of the war.
Can You Commit To Moving Forward And Taking Responsibility For Your Life?
And so it is with anyone who takes responsibility for his success and failure. He must grow as he pushes through, over, or around all of the blocks that come between him/her and his goal.
Can you commit to pressing ever forward? This forward direction will mean that the law of attraction will work for you. This is because you cannot press forward unless you know where forward is and you can see it and this allows you to maintain all 3 steps of the law.
Visualize your goal
Collect the ideas that the vision generates
Act on those ideas
The Law of Attraction Will Enhance Your Dreams
It may be that you do not know everything about what you will ultimately accomplish, it may be that you only have a small piece of the vision when you start. This is how it usually is and that vision you have is what you work toward. As you approach it, as you climb up to it you see farther until you will probably find yourself accomplishing more than you ever realized was possible. This progressive realization of your dreams will make your life interesting and exciting while providing all of your needs.
The law of attraction is one of the fundamental laws in the universe that governs mankind. The law of attraction picks up your vision and helps you run with it.
The law of attraction is one of several forgotten laws that work in our lives. Begin to use it and cultivate it and it will bring you farther in lfe than you can ever imagine.

Tony is explaining about the power of questions – change the questions you ask yourself and change the direction of your life.
Tony’s message: its not the events of your life that determine how you feel and act but, rather, the meaning you create from your lifes experiences. Learning to ask empowering questions – especially in moments of crisis – is a critical skill that will ultimately shape the meanings you create, and therefore the quality of your life.
Robert Collier was a great advertising man. In 1925 he published one of the best success books ever written: “The Secret of The Ages.” The Formula of Success is chapter 9 of the book and I want to bring you the first part of the chapter today.
The Formula of Success
“One ship drives east, and another drives west,
With the self-same winds that blow.
’Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales
Which tells us the way they go.”Like the waves of the sea are the ways of fate
As we voyage along thru life.
’Tis the set of the soul which decides its goal
And not the calm or the strife.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
What is the eternal question which stands up and looks you and every sincere man squarely in the eye every morning?
“How can I better my condition?” That is the real life question which con-fronts you, and will haunt you every day till you solve it.
Read this chapter carefully and I think you will find the answer to this important life question which you and every man must solve if he expects ever to have more each Monday morning, after pay day, than he had the week before.
To begin with, all wealth depends upon a clear understanding of the fact that mind—thought—is the only creator. The great business of life is thinking. Control your thoughts and you control circumstance.
Just as the first law of gain is desire, so the formula of success is BELIEF. Believe that you have it—see it as an existent fact—and anything you can rightly wish for is yours. Belief is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
You have seen men, inwardly no more capable than yourself, accomplish the
seemingly impossible. You. have seen others, after years of hopeless struggle, suddenly win their most cherished dreams. And you’ve often wondered, “What is the power that gives new life to their dying ambitions, that supplies new impetus to their jaded desires, that gives them a new Start on the road to success?”
That power is belief—faith. Someone, something, gave them a new belief in themselves and a new faith in their power to win—and they leaped ahead and wrested success from seemingly certain defeat.
Do you remember the picture Harold Lloyd was in two or three years ago, showing a country boy who was afraid of his shadow? Every boy in the countryside bedeviled him. Until one day his grandmother gave him a talisman
that she assured him his grandfather had carried through the Civil War and which, so she said, had the property of making its owner invincible. Nothing could hurt him, she told him, while he wore this talisman. Nothing could stand up against him. He believed her. And the next time the bully of the town started to cuff him around, he wiped up the earth with him. And that was only the start. Before the year was out he had made a reputation as the most daring soul in the community.
Then, when his grandmother felt that he was thoroughly cured, she told him the truth—that the “talisman” was merely a piece of old junk she’d picked up by the roadside—that she knew all he needed was faith in himself, belief that he could do these things.
