12 ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS<br />
There are twelve necessary elements involved in achieving success:<br />
1. Spend daily time in reflection, contemplation, meditation, stillness and silence. Ground<br />
yourself in self-awareness.<br />
Since all that exists arises out of the infinite, you should get intimate with the infinite so you can<br />
have what you want. Meditation connects you the greater aspects of your self and also to the<br />
divine.<br />
Learn to meditate and then develop the discipline to do it daily; make it a habit, like brushing your<br />
teeth.<br />
Contemplation of one's own internal self and of the external world will lead to wisdom.<br />
2. Gain control of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.<br />
Stop allowing your self to get yanked around by other people, by your culture, by events or<br />
circumstances. You are you. You own your self. Take control.<br />
Think what you want. Feel how you want. Believe what you decide is best for you.<br />
Create you own ideals. Define your own purpose. Then, live that purpose.<br />
3. Develop a strong self-image. Learn to love yourself.<br />
Get to know yourself. You are an exceptional individual. You are unique in the whole universe.<br />
You are special. You are sacred. Know who you are and then, love who you are.<br />
Self-love is not egocentrism; it is simply the acknowledgement of your sacredness.<br />
4. Think for yourself. Opt out of mass consciousness. Utilize your creative imagination.<br />
Look around you. If you want to be average, to be the norm, then think like everyone else. If you<br />
want more out of life, then learn to think for yourself.<br />
Don't allow your culture to become your cult. Program your self.<br />
5. Set your goals. Create your own game plan. WRITE IT DOWN.<br />
Write down your goals. Define them. Affirm them.<br />
If you fail to make a plan, then you might as well plan to fail.<br />
Let's take a look at some research two university studies about written goals. The results will<br />
astound you and, hopefully, convince you to begin now to write down your own goals.<br />
In 1984, a follow up study was done on the Harvard Business School graduating class of 1964. All<br />
members of the class stated that they had had, at graduation, clear goals to accomplish in life.<br />
