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.

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.

1. Visualize your goal
2. Collect the ideas that the vision generates
3. 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.

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.

The Formula of Success

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.

p. 264

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

p. 265

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

p. 266

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.

Don’t be the person out there looking for a job, be the person out there doing something interesting (from the movie).

A great little movie about the enormous opportunity that you have by being laid off – an opportunity you have to seize.

It seems that the big marketing successes of all times have been promoting opinion and outright falsehoods as truth.

Emerson is quoted as saying:

build a better mousetrap and they’ll beat a path to your door.

While Emerson has written and stated many great truths, this is not one of them.  In fact if you build a better mouse trap, the PR machines will kick in from your competitors and work at shooting you down.  The fact is if you want to promote something then you’d better have the biggest mouth.

A couple of examples, that you should eat margerine instead of butter, that high fructose corn syrup should be in everything.  Both of these “truths” have their part in the current obesity epidemic in the US.

What other half-truths are out there that you may be using to make decisons with, or products that you may be using that perhaps another choice would be better (hint: perhaps you should avoid high fructose corn syrup)?

Hype is pervasive in our society today.  Everyway we turn someone has a sign or a mesage aimed at our senses.  Repitition of ideas makes us feel comfortable about them, after time we adopt them without giving any real consideration at all.

Always understand your reasons for doing things, is it something considered, or something that has been implanted by repetition of messages that have been presented to your senses?

There is a great old book called “The Science of Getting Rich” written in 1911 by a man named Wallace Wattles. The book was the inspiration for “The Secret” a movie all about the law of attraction. Although “The Science of Getting Rich” is about the law of attraction, it never calls it that, even so this book is perhaps the best reference about using the law and putting it into action in your life.

Basically using the law of attraction boils down to setting up a daily cycle in your life.

1. Visualize an outcome – see the result
2. Take note of the ideas that come to mind
3. See the world in the context of this vision
4. Notice new things, create a mindset that appreciates things rather than discounts them
5. Add in these things to your vision and let the vision morph
6. Take action in anyway that you can on these ideas and on your vision
7. Repeat morning and night every day

Wattles states:

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea before you have it yourself. You must have it before you can give it; and many people fail to impress Thinking Substance because they have themselves only a vague and misty concept of the things they want to do, have, or to become.

If you close your eyes right now can you see a picture of what you want in your life? Can you step into it and feel, smell, and hear? Wattles says: It is not enough that you should have a general desire for wealth “to do good with” everybody has that desire.

Wattles talks about a sensory rich vision as the first step. This is a vision powerful enough to inspire and motivate you to take action to make the vision a reality. How can you have something if you don’t really know what it is. Vague or general ideas are no different from seeing something on TV and then the next day trying to describe the show to a Friend. You have some of it but much of the detail is gone.

In your vision the only way to fill it in is to go through it over and over, perhaps take some notes. Include in your notes how it makes you feel? What do you hear? Who is there with you? Is the scent of sandalwood in the air? Experience it all, put it all down and on successive days fill in the details and intensify the vision. Spend time contemplating this picture.

As you go through the day find moments to bring your vision to mind just long enough to appreciate it and be grateful for it.

Continue this process as the first step of the law of attraction daily cycle.

Whether you have read “The Science of Getting Rich” or not you’ll want to experience it in a whole new way. You’ll want to experience it as delivered and interpreted by Bob Proctor with some help from Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield. You will learn to use The Science of Getting Rich as your own secret weapon and as your key to success and creation.

How is your future vision? How well can you see the things that are to happen in your life? Does that sound like a crazy idea?

Napoleon Hill, who was perhaps the greatest success writer of the 20Th century had this to say:

Thoughts are things.

Wayne Dyer, who wrote many success books, put it this way:

You will see it when you believe it.

Wallace Wattles, who wrote “The Science of Getting Rich,” the book behind the movie “The Secret” put it like this:

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.

When the mind is open and expecting a thing held in vision it finds new connections and notices things and ideas related to the thing. If you allow your mind to put these ideas and observations together, it will begin to suggest things for you to do. Things that may or may not seem related to the vision. But these things, when integrated this way, will begin to form and bring to you the object of your future vision.

If you want anything — you must first think it. How can we think of the good things we want if our mind is polluted with all the negativity around. Are you a news junkie? Most of what is in the news and on the news channels is what other people want you to think about something that has happened. You don’t need that to overshadow your life. You need to form clear ideas and visions without the interpretation of others. When you create a future vision you must care for it and nurture it while you are bringing it about by holding the vision.

Some have described how this process works using quantum physics. Others relate it to an intelligence in the universe: that the universe contains a thinking substance that produces in kind after the pure thought held in it. Wallace Wattles, quoted above, is one of those who put forth this theory. I don’t think these two theories exclude each other so just take the one that is easiest on your head and begin to play with future vision.

Hold the vision of what you want in your mind with as pure a thought as you can. Practice this morning and night and write the ideas that spin off, write down the plans that come to mind — then act on these things.

Your vision creates the result, your actions bring it into your hands. This is what Wattles is saying.

Whether you have read “The Science of Getting Rich” or not you’ll want to experience it in a new way. You’ll want to experience it as delivered and interpeted by Bob Proctor with some help from Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield. You will learn to use The Science of Getting Rich as your own secret weapon and as your key to success and creation.
