Success is not an Accident

Have you ever wondered why successful people are so successful? Is success an accident? Or is it something one must work at? WOW!!!

I know that "Success Is NOT an Accident ! It, like everything else in life, one must work at it. We live at a wonderful time. There are so many options and opportunities for us to prosper and succeed. Does it come easy? Do we have to work at it? Of course we do.

Success, Prosperity, Wealth, Go Health, Loving relations, and a great family life all take work. Let me compare all of the above to a garden. Say you want an abundant, fruitful vegetable garden. You have a nice plot of rich soil. Every day you go out and visualize all the wonderful vegetables you are eating and enjoying. You talk to the earth, and imagine a wonderful feast upon your table. Your mouth is watering. You do this all summer long and in the fall, you go out to your vegetable plot, and still nothing. It is still a nice black piece of dirt.

It's one thing to write down a clear precise goal, visualize and dream, but where was the work? The doing part of the equation? Everything in life requires clear goals, visualize with feeling, and then action on your part to implement it.

Now let's look at the garden again. You go and till the earth, plant the seeds, and mark the rows. Then as the seedlings start to appear, you hoe and weed, and water. As they continue to grow, you also do thinning out. For if you do not, they will choke each other, and not grow to their full potential.

Now, as you talk to your plants, weed, water, hoe, and visualize your abundance at the end of the season your garden is prosperous. And the full enjoyment is yours.

So it is with Wealth, Health and whatever it is that you want from life.

In Tommy Newberry's book: "Success Is Not An Accident" he shares that our success will bless not only our lives, but also the lives of other people. As we do this, our abundance will continue to prosper.

He says:

  1. Develop a meaningful definition of success
  2. Accept complete responsibility for your choices
  3. Eliminate excuses
  4. Become a doer
  5. Tune in to prosperity

I really like #2. I have found of late, that some people like to play the "blame game" (even my children do this, every well) Instead of stepping up to the plate, and admit that you did something, there is a feeling that is it better to "blame" someone else or make excuses. My feeling is, no matter what the consequences, it is better to "own" up to it. Yes, it is hard and takes courage, but in the long run, doesn't it turn out better? Others will see you as someone who is: honest, trustworthy, full of integrity and is reliable.

How who you like others to view you? Success is not an Accident. Is it something we work at and become.
