Abundance and the practical
Success
Success is the achievement of a chosen aim through the disciplined alignment of thought, desire, and action. In the success-literature stream it is no accident of luck but the lawful harvest of a definite purpose held with faith and pursued with persistence. The mind that knows precisely what it wants, charges that aim with feeling, and acts toward it is held to draw circumstance and opportunity into its orbit.
The teachers gathered under this word, from the architects of the New Thought success movement to the modern motivators, describe a craft of becoming: define the goal, see it as already accomplished, build the supporting habits, and refuse the thought of failure. Success here is character expressed as result, the visible fruit of an inner decision made and kept.
In their words
All achievement, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea!
Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and of all achievement.
If you want to be successful, you have to take 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life.
Thanks to this cutting-edge science, we now know that happiness is the precursor to success, not merely the result.
