Success is an Intentional Occurrence...

Success is an intentional occurrence. Success by chance or luck is only an illusion. What then is success? I like Paul Meyer's definition-"success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals." Someone who obtains success has already envisioned their goal's destination, planned for the occassion, and executed the actions necessary to see their goals fulfilled. Have you ever dreamed of something, took the action to make it happen, and it totally ended up being a larger success than what you expected? That's the energy behind success when you move forward with passion. Passion makes everything ignite and explode! Ever seen someone speak with passion that it stirs something up in you and you didn't even share the same view before the person started speaking? Passion is contagious and it makes everything gravitate towards it- that's why some people's success seem to be so massive when we look at it. But, the truth is, we have the ability within us to have massive success as well, especially if it's combined with real passion. Progressive & Worthwhile. Notice Meyer's definition included the words Progressive and Worthwhile. That means that along the way, you may experience some failures or falls on the way to realizing your goals. This doesn't signal that it won't work- it actually signals that you're doing thing right but need some improvement on the action plan. Some of our greatest successes have come from our ability to fail, over and over and over again. Predetermined. You must "see it" before you "see it" or you'll never see it. What does this mean? Simply put, you must set goals in order to be able to usher in the energy that will make these things a reality. The Law of Attraction says that once we decide, get passion behind our decision, and move towards our goals- the entire Universe moves the right people, situations, and resources in our direction in order to ensure that our dreams are realized. So, today, I charge you to make achieving your goals an intentional endeavor forged with passion, focus, and commitment- even through the failures. Succeed, succeed, and progressively succeed some more. God bless, Yabo, Ashe!
