Your Daily Quote - Formula for Success

“I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.” 
― Herbert Bayard Swope

Raise Your Standards, Take Action

Whatever areas of your life you want to improve, if you want anything to change, you have to raise your standards right now!

So take a moment, make a decision and prepare your lists on:

1.       Things you will no longer tolerate in your life

2.       What you expect of yourself and what you will do instead (instead of No.1).

Make a list of ten items, and start acting on them. In two weeks increase to 20, and start implementing the changes.

Because the small steps you take today, the humble, or more brave, degrees you start raising your standards by, will multiply the results month by month, year by year. Think of the amazing outcomes you will have achieved in 10 years! All starting with a small list of ten items – ten things you will no longer tolerate, and TEN that you aspire to.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success - Deepak Chopra

No.6 The Law of Detachment

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty. In it lies the freedom from the past, from the known, which is the prison of conditioning.

When we step into the unknown, into the field of all possibilities, we surrender to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

Apply this law in your life by committing to these actions:

-       I will allow myself and those around me to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea on how things should be.

-       Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience; solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem.

-       I will step into the field of infinite possibilities, in excitement and anticipation while I’m open to an infinity of choices.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success - Law of Least Effort

No.4 The Law of Least Effort

Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease, harmony and love. When you harness those forces – of joy, harmony and love, we create success and good fortune easily and effortlessly.

How to apply it?

-       I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, events, circumstances as they occur.

-       Having accepted things as they are, I will take responsibility for my situation, and for the events I see as problems. This means not blaming anyone or anything, including myself.

-       Today I will let go of the need to defend my point of view, and not be attached to it.

Accept your day. Enjoy every minute...

How to Deal with Rejection

by Elena Long

How often has the fear of being rejected, of being given the answer “no” stopped you from taking a step towards something you want? Maybe at uni you didn’t ask that gorgeous girl out for a coffee because you assumed she would say no? Or when you negotiated the terms of your new job you didn’t dare to ask about higher salary? Was there a project at work you wanted to get involved with, so that you could learn new skills, but you thought your manager would say you don’t have experience to be involved…

The truth is, if you don’t explore new possibilities, if you don’t get out of your comfort zone and take this moderate risk of getting “No” for an answer, you are raising barriers to your own development. And you will wonder for the rest of your life: “What if?”

One of the golden principles of personal development, life coaching and success is that how happy and fulfilled you are with your life is dependent not on what happens to you, but how you react to what life throws at you. Quite often the hiccups you encounter along your journey are just tests, areas that you need improvement in. You lack confidence when approaching girls? Then practice ten times a day. You can’t work with PowerPoint? Then volunteer and help prepare the presentation for the next workshop in the office, or with your study group.

What is the worst that can happen when you ask the question: “May I?” I love the example Jack Canfield gives in his book, The Success Principles. If you choose to apply to Harvard, but fear of rejection is stopping you, think twice. If the worst happens and they say “No”, would you be able to handle it? Of course you would – you have spent all your life NOT studying at Harvard, surely you know how to deal with that. And if you do get in – well, it was worth trying!

After all, Colonel Sanders got over 300 rejections before he found someone to believe in him and his special “KFC” chicken recipe. Nor did Sylvester Stallone get disheartened with ”No” after “No” for the script of the first Rocky, until United Artists agreed to produce the script on his terms, with Stallone getting the lead role.

So next time when you toss between: Should I, Should I not, think about that: “some will, some won’t – so what – someone’s waiting.” Or, the SWSWSWSW formula. If someone now says “No”, there still is someone out there waiting for you skills, your ideas, your smile, your contribution. Work your way out to getting there, one rejection at a time.

Your Daily Quote - Success and Momentum

“People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” 

Tony Robbins
