I have started re-reading Canfield's book:
The Success Principles: How to get from where you are to where you want to be.
While i was reading through the introduction it occurred to me that that i should share what i learn as i read & implement the principles espoused in this book - so i made a commitment:
- to implement each PRINCIPLE as i come to understand it
- to SHARE each principle through this blog
- & to MONITOR my EXPERIENCE throughout the year & again share that experience in this blog.
I have already set out my GOALS for 2009. No doubt - It is going to be a BIG year & what better way to develop a PROSPEROUS & SUCCESSFUL MINDSET
(this is one of my personal growth goals!!)than by applying the PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS as outlined by Canfield?
I am looking forward to the rest of 2009!!
I am looking forward to achieving ALL my goals!!
I am looking forward to developing the type of mindset that attracts PROSPERITY
& I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with the people close to me & to YOU
SO, TO THE FIRST LESSON FOR THE YEAR!!
- - 100% RESPONSIBILITY! - -
Responsibility is a choice
You, me and everyone else is responsible for the quality of life we as individuals enjoy!!
"No one can do your push-ups for you, you must do them yourself to get the full benefit"If you want to be in all your achievements, relationships, education, spirituality, personal growth, health & fitness, income, career, feelings - then you must take 100% responsibility for the outcome that you want!
:
If you want to create the life you always dreamed of, then you have to take 100% responsibility for your life
What does that mean?
It means giving up all your excuses, all your poor me stories & you must give up blaming other people & circumstances for the way thing are in your life!!
Dr Robert Resnick uses a simple formula that clarifies the idea of "100% responsibility"
it is expressed thus: E + R = O
where:
E = the event
R = is your response
O = the outcome!!
There are two choices that you can make when the result isnt to your liking!
1. you can blame the event (E) for your lack of results (O)
or
2. you can change your response (R) to the event (E) until you get the Outcome (O) you want!!
Everything you experience today is the result of choices you have made in the past!!
You have control over 3 things in your life:
1. the thoughts you think
2. the images you visualise &
3. the action you take - or your behaviour!
Now these 3 things are important to the experiences we have!
If we do not like the experiences we have, then we have to change the responses we have to the events that take place in our lives!!
Change
We can change negative thoughts to positive thoughts
we can change what we daydream about
we can change the images we hold in our minds
we can change our habits
we can change what we put into our minds - what we read!
we can change how we talk
we can change our friends
Don't blame others for what happens to you & dont complain about what happens to you - instead, do something about it!!
To be more successful all you have to do is act in ways that produce more of what you want! This may be a simple principle but is not easy to implement. You need to pay attention to what you are doing & the RESULTS you are producing. You need AWARENESS, dedicated DISCIPLINE & a willingness to EXPERIMENT & take RISKS!
You need to constantly ask yourself:
- What am i doing that's working & i need to be doing more of?
- What am i doing that's not working and i need to be doing less of?
- What am i not doing that i need to try to see if it works?
So, do more of what's working
Do less of what is not working
Try new behaviours to see if they produce better results!!
