SUCCESS DEFINITION

                                                   DEFINING SUCCESS

     WHAT'S THE KEY TO SUCCESS? WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SUCCEED WHILE OTHER FAIL?

        EARL NEGHTINGALE, THE GREAT SUCCESS WRITER, BROADCASTER SPEAKER, ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN HIS FAMOUS RECORDED MESSAGE ENTILED "THE STRANGEST SECRET" IN THIS PROGRAM, HE IDENDIFIED THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN JUST SEX WORDS. OF COURSE, HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN IT IN MORE DETAIL-BUT THE FOUNDATION OF HIS SUCCESS SECRET IS ONLY SIX WORDS.

        YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW THE SIX WOULDN'T YOU? WELL, BEFORE I TELL YOU THE KEY TO SUCCESS, YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT THE SAME SIX WORDS ARE ALSO THE KEY TO FAILURE!

       ARE YOU READY FOR THE KEY TO SUCCESS? HERE IT IS:

    WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT.

ON A GUT LEVEL, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU?

     IN HIS RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT, NIGHTINGALE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE GREAT WRITERS, PHILOSOPHERS AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS HAVE AGREED THAT OUR THOUGHTS DETERMINE OUR ACTION, HERE ARE THE OBSERVATIONS OF A FEW GREAT THINKERS ON THIS VERY POINT. 

     NAPOLEON HILL SAID, "WHAT THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE, THE MIND CAN ACHIEVE"

     THE BIBLE CONTAINS NUMEROUS REFERENCES TO THINKING INCLUDING THESE

        ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU.

        AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE.

        IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

        

    RALPH WALDO EMERSON PUT IT THIS WAY, " A MAN IS WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT ALL DAY LONG"

   ROBERT COLLIER OFFERED THIS INSIGHT: " THERE IS NOTHING ON EARTH YOU CANNOT HAVE-ONCE YOU HAVE MENTALLY ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT"

  AND FINALLY, THERE ARE THE WELL-KNOWN WORDS OF HENRY FORD, WHO SAID, "WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN-OR THINK YOU CAN'T YOU'RE RIGHT"
