A Warm Welcome once again to ALL my Subscribers !
And as ever, a particularly warm welcome to any NEW subscribers from
anywhere in the world, it's great to have you here ! I say this every
week because I mean it sincerely, I really want to hear from YOU. My
email is oliver@inspiredlivingdaily.co.uk. If there are any topics
or issues of an inspirational/motivational nature you would like me
to cover be sure to let me know !
So this week I thought I would take a look at the theme of "Success".
Now I firmly believe that we ALL have the seeds of amazing success
within us but, for whatever resaon, those seeds are not "watered" to
become a wonderful harvest of fulfilled hopes and dreams. This to me
is a waste of a God given potential. It seems that for some people
success comes easy and follows them all their lives, think
of Richard Branson or Bill Gates ? For others, they have both spectacular
successes and failures, yet again some people have modest successes
while some people go through life without any visible evidence of
success going from one problem to another!
So this got me thinking as to whether there are any "Secrets of Success"
and if so what are they. Well Napoleon Hill who wrote the classic
book "Think and Grow Rich" certainly believed that there were secrets
to getting rich and successful. In fact he identified 13 to be precise
as follows :Desire; Faith; Auto Suggestion; Specialised Knowledge;
Imagination; Organised Planning; Decision; Persistence; Mastermind;
Transmutation; Subconscious Mind; The Brain and Sixth Sense.
Today I am going to look at three of these being Desire, Persistence
and the Subconscious Mind.Enjoy !

Inspirational Quote of the Week
____________________________________________________________________
"No Man has a chance to enjoy Permanent Success until he begins to
look in a mirror for the real cause of his mistakes."
Napoleon Hill

Secret of Success - "Desire"
____________________________________________________________________
So a question for you. What is it that you want TODAY ? Do you "want" to be
successful, happy, healthy, rich, famous, attractive or whatever
you really "want".
Napoleon Hill identified as his first and primary motivation for
success as "Desire". And do you know what "Want" just doesn't get
anywhere near "Desire".
Let me explain it's simple really, if you say you "want" something
it is usually because on the other side of a "want" is a "lack".
Many people say they want success or riches or whatever but if you
examine what is going on at a subconscious level it is obvious
that the "wanting" is just wishful thinking. There is no passion
or excitement behind the wanted or hoped for thing or experience in
other words a lack of "desire".
Leslie Fieger is his ebook "Napoleon Hill's 13 Success Secrets Revealed"
says as follows :
"The sad truth about most people who claim to want success is that they
actually do not desire success.What they desire is comfort and security.
The path to real success often demands that you give up comfort and
security in order to gain rewards greater than mere creature comforts and
minor financial security. "
He goes on to say that for many years he "wanted" success and riches
but all the "wanting" in the world didn't get him what he wanted !
Describing how he made the breakthrough he says as follows :
"It was the burning passion of fervent desire that pushed me out of
my comfort zone of mediocrity and security and empowered me to achieve
real success. It was my desire that enabled me to get past the fear
of failure and get past the frustrations of obstacles to achieve the
success I had wanted for so many years".
So today I challenge you to ask youreself " Are you "wants" really
"desires" and what can you do to turn your wants into real desires ?"

Success Secret - Persistence
____________________________________________________________________
So another question for you today is how "persistent" are you or
are you prepared to be in your quest for success ? Have you had
a few setbacks or failures in life and decided to settle for a life
of struggle, mediocrity and complacency ?
Or somewhere deep in your soul and being do you still have a desire
to change your life and cirumstances ? Are you tired of the limiting
beliefs and bad habits that are holding you back ? Are you prepared to
"persist" until you succeed ?
Napoleon Hill himself said this :
" Persistence is an essential factor in transmuting desire into its
monetary equivalent."
He went on to explain that desire, otherwise known as passion,plus
the power of will (persistence) make an irresistible pair and almost
always end up producing wealth.
You know that is is clear that many many people give up on life and
on their dreams and goals far too early when in reality with a just
a little bit more desire and persistence they would have triumphed !
Just think of all those people who are now just tombstones in the
grave yard who with just an extra push could have achieved great
things for themselves and humanity !
Calvin Coolidge said this :
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius
will not;unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent."
Just remember a long attention span otherwise known as persistence
combined with determination is an attribute shared by all successful
people !

Success Secret - The Subconscious Mind
____________________________________________________________________
As I have said before in this newsletter people today are more
enlightened about the real "power of the mind" than I believe at any
prior time in human history !
You see it is clear that all success and failure reside in the mind
and only by learning to consciously create success in our minds will
we achieve the success most of us desire.
The problem is that most people don't understand that it is the
subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind where the
programming of the mind has to take place. Consciously we may say that
we desire success but buried deep in our subconscious mind are
programmes and patterns of perhaps failure that are sabotaging our
best efforts to conciously create what we desire.
Little do we realise until it is pointed out to us that it is our
subconscious mind that determines our beliefs, thoughts, actions
and therefore our results. The results we are experiencing in life
are a consequence of the working of the subconscious mind, this explains
why many people have litle success with affirmations or positive
statements. You may say aloud " I am successful" or" I am rich"
but if your subconscious mind is silently sabotaging your conscious
beliefs then the affirmations will not work !
The good news is that the subconscious mind can be programmed and controlled
by the concious mind.This can be done by the utilisation of
meditative techniques or even Emotional Freedom techniques
or again Subliminal Messaging !
If Napoleon Hill even at the time of writing his book sixty years
ago had an awareness of the impact of the subconscious mind on success
then there really is no excuse for any of us in the twenty first century
not to look into this. Once you realise that you have a limiting
belief or negative thought pattern then you really must do something
to address that if you desire to be successful.

Inspiring story of business "start up" success
____________________________________________________________________
Philip Mossop may not be an household name. But this young man from
Burley in the UK had the desire to become his own boss !
Learn more about his motivation and what inspired him to open two businesses
in the space of six months ? Asked, "What would you have done differently
if you could go back?" he says, "Absolutely nothing: you learn as much
from your mistakes as your successes."
What a tremendous outlook and philosophy !
