Are You Prepared For Success? (Installment #13)
(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success [Introduction.])
To begin the process in earnest you should start by going back and re-reading all of the prior installments, including, and especially, the quotes. Try to understand what each quote is saying, and what truths they are revealing to you. It is very important that you are prepared before moving on to "Section (II)".
Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said.
-Jean Rostand
When you have reread the previous installments you should read the rhymes in "Section (II)" (future installments) slowly and carefully so that you understand what they are saying to you. Read them every morning, as soon as you wake up, and every evening, as the last thing you do before you go to sleep. Read them as many times as possible during the day. Read them aloud, with passion to drive the messages home, and with absolute faith that the positive, success oriented, new messages will replace the negative, failure directed, old messages. Know that your desire to succeed is absolute and with the proper attitudes implanted you will succeed in whatever you attempt.
...If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
-Henry David Thoreau
No man is free who is not master of himself.
-Epictetus
The price of greatness is responsibility.
-Winston Churchill
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.
-Syrus
The harder I work, the luckier I get.
-Samuel Goldwyn
The purpose behind "Section (II)" is understanding and acceptance. You will need to have an open mind and remember why you are participating in this program. Chances are that you are looking for that illusive thing called "success" and you realize that something has to change in order for you to achieve it. So don't resist the messages within the rhymes. Let them flow into your subconscious. You will know, at your deepest level, that you need to let them in and accept them. The more you read them (repetition) and the more passion you put into the readings the sooner you will believe the messages, and the closer you will be to attaining success.
It shouldn't be difficult for anyone to resist temptation to force himself into the pattern of being average. One needs only to remember that a groove may be safe-but as one wears away at it, the grove becomes first a rut and finally a grave..
-J. Paul Getty
Once you understand what messages the rhymes are relating to you and you’re ready to accept the messages as truths that can be yours, you will be ready to move onto "Section (III)".
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimentions.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
The transition between "Section (II)" and "Section (III)" is one of the most important aspects of The Process. It's the difference between:
- Knowing how to sing and singing
- Planning to take a vacation and taking a vacation
- Wanting a new car and owning a new car
Thoughts determine what you want…
Action determines what you get!
The messages within these rhymes are intended to EMPOWER you so that you can take control of your life and achieve the success that you deserve. As you acquire the positive attitudes you also gain the complete confidence that nobody knows what you want, or what you are able to accomplish, better than you do. This is part of the control over your own life that you will gain.
People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.
