A Message of Hope

Dear Aspirants,

Everyone wants success. Some people spend their every walking moment pursuing it, to the detriment of all else. For others, attaining success seems impossible. They conclude that it is destined for a selected few. The rest of us are to remain "content with such things as we have". Having it all is not " in our stars".

When you strive for success with wrong assumptions, you will never reach it. It's like traveling somewhere with the wrong map.

Zig Ziglar says that "Success is a process, not an event. A journey, not a destination. "

Jim Rohn describes it as " ..... a condition that must be attracted not pursued."

Success is something you must work hard and long to earn, for yourself. It has a price sometimes a very high one. And most people aren't really and truly ready to pay that price, to do what success demands. If success has eluded you so far, perhaps you should try changing your assumptions. You need to accept that:

• You must go through the growing process, which will require time and patience, in order to achieve success. There are no short cuts. Anything else is temperory illusion. Success that will remain with you, bring you joy rather than sorrow, requires a learning process, a time to grow out of old habits and into new ones, a time to learn what works and what doesn't. And you must pay your dues, in full, in advance! so don't be in a hurry.

• You will need to acquire traits and skills that attract it. What does success means to you? Identify, in specific terms, what you regard as success. What traits or skills will you need to achieve this goal? Find 2 or 3 people who have what you want. Write down the habits that have made them successful and resolve to copy them. This is called mentoring learning from others who have arrived where you want to go. Once you learn to do what it takes, you qualify. And when you qualify, Success comes looking for you. You just can't be denied!

Remember, when parents try to teach their children to crawl, what they do? They put their favorite toy in front of them and teased them forward, inch by inch. They were after the toy, which kept them motivated. When they became good at reaching the toy, they had learned to crawl. After that, they could reach any destination they wanted. The DESTINATION was less important. They became champion crawlers in this PROCESS!

When you are ready for success you attract it, with little effort. When you are not, it runs from you, no matter how hard you chase. In other words, you repel it! Most likely, this is the reason that success eludes people.

Now that you know how to attract success, why not get started on the journey that will take you where you want to go. Any one can succeed, but unfortunately not everyone will. Fate does not foist it upon you. You can have anything you want in life, if you're ready to pay the price. But if you consider the process too hard, too slow, or too long and lonely, you have qualified as a looser; painful but true.

So don't short change yourself with short-cuts. Go out there today and start attracting success. It's literally yours for the taking!

Presenting forever positive ideas to your success.

Yours truly,

Shekhar Tripathi
