There are a number of traits common to all successful people.
They all posses a certain type of mind.
It is also true that they have ambition, vision, drive, tremendous capacity to work and a strong will.
They also seize any opportunity when it comes.
They never fail to learn from a mistake.
They take setbacks and failures as challenges.
They fight back adversities. They are persistent until they win
The list is very long. …………………..
But their principle cause of success is their type of thinking. They think in terms of success or achievement, abundance and prosperity.
Our life tends, in the course of time, to express the thoughts habitually dwelt upon. If we think consistently in terms of success or prosperity, sooner or later life will find expression to these thoughts to a greater or lesser degree according to the intensity of our thoughts.
We cannot be all at the top of the tree, but we can rise to the best position for which our talents fit. There are of course genetic variants: someone of us is more gifted with better IQ and EQ (the latter of the two must have been developed with the help of the environment too over which generally we have very little control), someone is genetically prone to diseases and so on. There are so many who are born kings and millionaires. There are many thoughtful parents who groom their children so that they succeed in later life and there so many who do not even take care of their basic needs to survive.
Many parents quarrel always and make life in the family a hell. Naturally, their offspring are in an obvious disadvantage as they develop more inferiority complex, insecurity, anxiety and sometimes self hate. These traits cannot be easily erased.
There are millions of poor but loving parents too who impart security feeling and love, ambition and a fighting disposition. The permutations and combinations of genetic and home influences are infinite. No two are the same. It does not follow that because A succeeded B should succeed too No one can underestimate the genetic and early childhood environmental influences and their impact on one’s future level of success.
The happy new is that everyone can control their present thoughts. By streamlining them we can achieve what we want. May be it may take a little longer and a little more effort for those who got a bad genetic and environmental combination. But there is always a way to overcome any adversity.
There may be many who have been ‘Lucky’ to get a good combination. It is not their fault that they got it. It is up to us to overcome the shortcomings inherited or otherwise and climb up.
The only crime is not attempting to go above the crowd.
The only crime is not attempting to go above the crowd. As David Hartman, the first blind man to become a doctor, says,
“I believe that the ones who are the most handicapped are those who do not want to do anything special or challenging with their lives.”
According to our ability we can achieve the greatest success possible. There have been a number of studies as to why the vast majority do not succeed. From my own observations I have found that negative thought-habits are the root cause. The thought patterns of almost all who fail are in this way:
‘We are helpless before the hands of Fate’. ‘We are not that lucky. However much we try we will meet with failures only.’
Scarce, Poor, Limited programming determine their life.
