SUCCESS - IS AN EVER-UNFOLDING AND NEVER ENDING PROCESS AND STATE OF MIND. It begins when one moves one's level of Consciousness from an attitude of GETTING to an attitude of GIVING.
Nearly everyone is familiar and believes in the sayings, "What goes around comes around", "What goes in is what comes out", "Do until others as you would have them do unto you (The Golden Rule), and several others. All such sayings are merely different ways of expressing a Universal Law known and taught by the wisest and most revered and respected teachers of all time; and that is the Law of Attraction, now popularized throughout the world as the message in the best selling books, "The Secret" by Rhoda Byrne and "The Law of Attraction" by Jerry and Ester Hicks.
However, there are actually, literally dozens, if not hundreds or thousands, of books and other writings having this message; either as the theme or as a subsidiary teaching, which are centuries old. That is because this law is really no "secret" at all; as all individuals know intuitively, at some level of their Being, that this Law is a Principle operating everywhere they look: and that accounts for its current popularity among spiritual teachers, authors and students of Life.
Now, to benefit from this Law, all one needs to do is to practice and focus on GIVING rather than on getting. This will be a challenge for most individuals as there is a tremendous amount of propaganda and past programming in their experience of Life that convinces them that "there is not enough". Because they believe there is not enough, they thus have a feeling of a need to compete for the "little" that they believe exist. Thus they focus on getting their desired part of that. Now, there is nothing "wrong" with that state of Mind but it will not get one what is desired; as the Law will respond by making the individual right (It has to by its Nature) and the individual necessarily experiences his/her belief that there is "not enough".
The Truth is that there is enough! Of everything!
But this truth is of no use to an individual unless the individual consciously chooses to accept it. (that is the Beauty of Life/Creation - each one gets to choose one's own beliefs, and accordingly, one's own experience of It)
I believe it was Henry Ford who said that "whether a man says he can or he can't do a thing, he gets to be right". Henry was just yet another wise individual attempting to share with mankind, the Power which lies within one's beliefs. Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, was still another such a person: in his worldwide famous teaching that "as a man believeth in his heart,, so is he": as well as in many of his other teachings of this same ilk. (of coarse, all the teachers such as the Buddha, Krishna, et al of the all the various world religions have taught the same thing in perhaps different words or different ways, but all of them were teaching the same truth that We are Indeed, All One: contrary to the appearance/illusion/belief that we are separate (an egoistic concept and notion which is at the root of every and all undesirable conditions on this planet).
In conclusion: the challenge is in how to transcend one's present attachment to a belief that there is "not enough" (an illusion) to KNOWING the Truth that in Reality there is enough, of everything! This Knowing is a movement and transformation into realizing oneself as Success Itself, and from this state of mind, in accordance with the Universal Law of Attraction, everything one thinks, says and does demonstrates nothing but the Success one already Is! I highly recommend one's reading and practice of these principles as published in available voluminous publishings, not the least significant of which you can find in the ever popular writing of Napoleon Hill in his book, "Think and Grow Rich".
