Melvin Feller MA and Secrets of Success in Life and in Business
Would
you like to realize your goals? Maybe you would like to run your own
business, expand your material possessions, or succeed in the arts.
There is no one path to the pot of gold, but many people of all
backgrounds have successfully found it.
Whether
you want to follow the ways of the great financiers, the famous
politicians, or the dynamic movie stars, there are common modes of
behavior each of them followed.
Moreover, in many cases, they have shared their secrets so YOU CAN FOLLOW THEIR FOOTSTEPS.
“If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the person who goes back and forth on it,” said the ancient sage, Zenrin.
What
better way is there to know the secrets than to ask those who made it?
What goals do you want to achieve? In addition, what amount of effort
can you commit? You may want money for the extra things in life, money
to build a corporate empire, or money to support yourself while you
pursue the fine arts.
Perhaps
you would like to take the risk to start something new in your life.
You may want to open your own business, devote your energies to an
artistic career such as acting, or reap the benefits of your yearly
endeavors with fabulous vacations several times a year.
What
will bring you happiness? The satisfaction of success takes many forms.
Not only are people seeking financial fortunes, but also the ancient
goal of peace of mind.
Do
you worry? You might be concerned about your health or your family’s
well-being. You may be anxious about the added expenses of education,
medical bills, or the steady increase of cost of living.
There
are ways out of the endless cycles of worry, stress and anxiety. Right
now, you can rise above the whirl of survival to achieve the
accomplishments you dream of! When you are for-real ready to put your
whole effort into realizing your goals, YOU WILL SUCCEED.
What are Riches?
“Had
I but plenty of money, money enough to spare,” wrote Robert Browning.
Moreover, money is the greatest attribute of riches. A universal desire,
money is the materialization of riches, the stuff that makes the rest
possible.
Are
you looking for financial security? For retirement, for education or
leisure? Riches are the overflowing abundance of material possessions-
houses, cars, boats, furnishings- everything you ever wanted.
Centuries
ago, Horace wrote, “By right means, if you can, but by any means, make
money.” For many people it is a path towards happiness, a cure-all for
worry and peace of mind.
For
others, riches come in the form of satisfaction and personal
independence. Satisfaction comes from accomplishment in employment or
attaining goals. It is that feeling of contentment and confidence from a
good task well done. Riches are closely linked with success.
In
addition, with that comes fame and acknowledgment of position. Success
might be the feeling of well-being from the rewards of good effort.
Alternatively, the enthusiasm and vitality triggered by recognition.
“Success is how well I enjoy the minutes,” said producer Norman Lear.
Throughout
history, the people who lived with riches often achieved them by hard
work, diligence and a belief in themselves. For some people, it took
courage, genius and stamina.
Nevertheless,
for many others, it took nothing special but the desire to turn dreams
into reality.
Whether you want millions of dollars, recognition as an
artist, or personal freedom, you have the ability to make your life as
rich as you want. Think about what you most desire. It may not be hard
cash, but what it can buy.
On
the other hand, it may be those feelings of inner satisfaction, from
creating something beautiful or strong. You may want personal
independence from the workweek, or freedom to live anywhere you want.
You may be looking for something meaningful and significant in life- something other than things money can buy.
Whatever your goals, and however difficult they seem to be to accomplish, you have the ability to become who you want.
Take a look- can you see yourself surrounded by riches?
Picture
the world open and in front of you, ready to become the form of your
dreams, ready to stage your desires. “Why then, the world’s mine
oyster,” wrote Shakespeare, “which I with sword will open.”
Who is Successful?
Many
people who achieve fortune in the world are not born rich. However,
they accomplished it through hard work and a plan of action. Every type
of person on earth can become successful.
There
are saints and scoundrels; philanthropists and poets and politicians;
young and old. There are no limitations or physical boundaries for
success.
Success
comes to those who deeply think about success and constantly strive for
it! Although many rich financiers at the turn of the century had no
formal education, they overcame that and went on to great fame.
Some
people strive towards a single goal from early in life, and often
attain that goal while still young. Others are willing to risk new
adventures later and still attain success. “It’s never too late to
learn,” wrote Malcolm Forbes, the money magnate. “I learned to ride a
motorcycle at 50 and fly balloons at 52.”
Whatever
your task, whatever your obstacles, you can be as successful as anyone
else can. Study the people who accomplished recognition in the areas of
your pursuit.
How
did they achieve their goals? Moreover, do not be afraid you do not
have what it takes. As Daniel Webster wrote, “There is always room at
the top.”
