Understanding Success and Happiness
Success is the progressive realization of positive, predetermined goals.
A person is most happy when they are progressively pursuing a goal or objective. The happiest people are those who are always on their way to someplace.
You cannot reach a goal then stop your progress and still feel successful. If you stop striving, you are stagnant. Successful people always seem to find the means to get what they want. As the saying goes, “If they need money, they get money; if they need people, the get people; if they need ideas, they get ideas.”
It is also true that like attracts like. Act successful, do the things successful people do, and you will be successful. These actions develop confidence, belief in yourself and, most importantly, they create desire, which will enable you to pursue your goals regardless of obstacles, resistance, circumstances or the opinions and actions of others.
People who don’t really succeed in life, do so because they lack direction and motivation. Without a goal as a guide, you are like a ship at sea with no rudder. You will end up wherever the seas and wind take you; you have no choice.
Be the master of your own fate. Go wherever you wish. Become whatever you choose. Have whatever you desire.

The Alpha-Netics Success Guide
1. State what you want to accomplish in your life. What do you really want? Regardless of the obstacles and assuming money were no object, what do you really want and what would you do with your time?
2. How long will it take you to realize each of the goals you have written in step 1? A goal without a deadline is a daydream. Deadlines are essential to create the drive necessary for success.
3. Determine what short range or intermediate goals you may set and achieve that will keep you moving in the direction of the major goals you are pursuing. Even the movement toward and accomplishment of small goals is motivational and exciting. These make the continued pursuit of your major goals endurable and much more enjoyable.
4. How much effort are you willing to put into the pursuit of your goals? If there are limitations, you are after the wrong goal. Any obstacle between you and what you want can be removed by having the short range goals directed toward that removal. If it is what you want, no price is too high and no obstacle to high, wide or deep.
5. Keep your goals – short, intermediate, and long range – in your mind’s eye, always. Know what need to be done, always. Consider a camera taking a picture. If the camera is 10% out of focus, the picture will be at least 10% out of focus. If your goal is out of your mind’s eye 10% of the time, you reduce your chance of reaching that goal by at least 10%. Remember, “Anything you vividly imaging..” Keep your goals in focus.

How to Copy Michael Phelps’ Success in Beijing 2008 Olympics
Michael Phelps’ incredible performance in the Beijing 2008 Olympics proved himself again he has trained his body and mind toward success. There’s no question in our minds that he deserves every one of the accolades and then some. Michael’s amazing achievement is an typical example of applying the Universal Laws to bring success to one’s life. We can find the clear evidence of that in some of the media coverage of Phelps.
In an article about Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman, NBC Sports reported, “Bowman, who is something of a student of success literature, said a recurring theme of his coaching and direction is that successful people…make a habit of doing things other people aren’t willing to do. And that’s our game here.”
That’s very obvious, isn’t it? The difference between successful people and failures is that successful people make a habit of doing the things that failures do not like to do.
Now, how can you copy Micheal’s success to fulfill your life’s goals? The secret is to set you mind to abide and follow the Universal Law of Cause and Effect, considered the greatest principle in the history of mankind. Don’t overlook the importance of Your mind set. The greatest thinkers of all time, going back to the earliest recorded writings of the earliest religions, the earliest philosophers and metaphysical schools have all emphasized the power of the human mind to shape individual destinies. But it is not enough to just have a clear mind, you make follow the law and take actions, — put effort and make it happen.
The Law of Cause and Effect says that everything happens for a reason. For every effect in your life, there is a cause, or series of specific, measurable, definable, identifiable causes. Thus if there is anything you want in life, an effect that you desire, you can find someone else that has achieved the same result or effect, and that by doing the same things that they have done over and over you can eventually enjoy the same results and rewards.
As Success Coach Brian Tracy said, The laws of cause and effect, action and reaction, sowing and
reaping, are timeless truths, universal principles that have existed since the beginning of man on this earth. All success, happiness and high achievement comes from organizing your life in conformance with these timeless principles. When you do, you will achieve satisfaction and enjoyment at levels seldom experienced by the average person and of course, people will start to refer to you as lucky.
Success, however you define it, is not an accident. It is not a result of good luck versus bad luck. Even if you have not taken the time to clearly identify how you got from where you were to where you are today, there have been a series of specific steps that you have taken that have brought you to where you are at
this minute. And the fact is, they could have brought you to no other place. You are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. It has been your choices and your decisions over the months and years that have inevitably determined the condition of your life at this moment.
The key to your enjoying more of what people call luck is for you to engage in more of the actions that are more likely to bring about the consequences that you desire. At the same time, you must conscientiously decide to avoid those actions that will not bring about the consequences that you desire, or even worse, will bring about consequences that you don’t want.
The most wonderful part of this law is that at any time you can start making different choices and different decisions, taking different steps and you will inevitably arrive at a different place than where you are today. so start it now. Everyone can copy Michael’s success in his or her own life.
Never Quit
Michael Jordan said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Don’t Quit
by author unknown
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
when the funds are low and the debts are high,
and you want to smile but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must,
but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man;
often the struggler has given up,
when he might have captured the victor’s cup;
and he learned too late when the night came down,
how close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
- the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
and you never can tell how close you are,
it may be near when it seems afar;
so stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
- it’s when things seem worst, you must not quit.
