Success is Science

SUCCESS IS SCIENCE

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.

In his book Psych cybernetics, Dr. Maxwell Malts talks about our daily actions being a direct result of our habits. Since your actions are the cause of your results, it is fair to assume that your habits are what ultimately create the results you obtain. Habits are the things you and I do naturally and automatically, without thinking. Most of these habits were formed at a very early age and are now collected in your unconscious mind. According to Malts, if you want to change your results, you must begin to form new habits.

Your current thinking regarding your abilities, your product, and your industry is habitual. It is buried in your unconscious mind, and it drives your behavior on a daily basis. Many times, this mindset is limiting, because it has as its foundation things said by a parent, teacher, coach, etc. that were intended to protect us from disappointment … but are actually disempowering. Things like: “Be realistic,” “Don’t expect too much,” and “Life is hard.” To reverse this negative mindset and build the habits of a top performer, start by taking these four first steps:

1. Set a clear and measurable goal

Make it a goal that you are excited about accomplishing. The human spirit will not invest itself in mediocrity – so if you want to succeed in overcoming limiting habits, your goal must create passion in you!

When you set your goal, keep two other important things in mind: It must be specific … and it must be measurable. Instead of “I want to make more money,” write, “I am earning a minimum of XYZ per year.” This way, you will know exactly when you have accomplished the goal.

2. Write your goal in the present tense

Notice that in the above example, the goal is in the present tense: “I am earning a minimum of XYZ per year.” There’s a reason for doing this. It will cause you to fully associate with the achievement of your goal. Your unconscious mind is totally deductive, and, therefore it accepts anything that your conscious mind gives it without question. Consequently, correct phrasing is imperative. Instead of “I want to earn XYZ per year,” write your goal as if you have already achieved it.

 3. Write your goal every single day, carry it with you everywhere you go, and read it as often as possible

Remember, you are developing habits of the highly successful – ways of thinking and acting that are new to you. So don’t think that this step is redundant. Realize that it has taken years to develop your current limiting mindset – and it will take concentrated effort to replace it.

4. Take action and make daily decisions with your goal in mind

For example, you might ask yourself the question: “What decision would I make right now or what action would I take right now as a XYZ income earner?” Answer the question – and act! If you act based upon your current status, you will continue to create your current results.

Any time you experience frustration with these action steps, realize that it is caused by your old mental “programming” trying to push you back into old behaviors. Don’t give in! The mark of a master achiever is a person who has the ability to give himself a command – and follow it.

Success is defined as the accomplishments of a person. It is an event that fulfills the indented purpose in his life. The meaning of success differs from person to person. It is extremely complex as every individual defines it in his own way. For some success means attainment of wealth while for others it is the achievement of his goals. Success can be considered a science. If you have set some conditions, you will surely get the result. As science refers to the body of knowledge, success depends upon your knowledge, ability and skills to achieve your desired goals. This knowledge should be sensibly explained and constantly applied and if you have set the targets of success in your mind, no one can stop you from accomplishing your set goals and desired success in whatever form you expect. Though achievement of set goals can make you successful for the time being, but it is temporary. Once there is attainment of set goals you proceed for getting more. It is an ongoing process and is tentative in nature.

Success is non dogmatic in nature. There is always much more requirement of what you currently possess. Like science there is always innovation of new goals and aims which need to be realized to be at the top of the world. You’ve probably observed that people who are highly successful at any skill – not only wealth building – achieve their results by doing “certain things in a certain way.” Add to this the scientific fact that “like causes produce like effects” – and one thing becomes clear: If you and I consistently employ the same thought processes and actions as these highly successful individuals, we will produce similar results. This is why success is an absolute science. If you apply the principles (thoughts and actions) of peak performers, you will accelerate your results far beyond your current level of achievement. Put it to the test. “The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.”– William James
