The Only Two Rules For Living A Successful Life

Truly, there are only two steps to success.

1. Decide what "success" means to you. The measure of success for you may be money, or prestige, or power, but perhaps being successful just means living a happy life. Think deeply about how you choose to measure your success in life.

2. Focus. You get what you focus on.

Visualize your success as already accomplished, and take positive action toward your success each day.

If you don't know what you want, you will probably never get it.- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. 

If a man does not keep pace with his companions,perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.- Henry David Thoreau

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this:Decide what you want.- Ben Stein

I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.- Albert Schweitzer

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night,and in between he does what he wants to do.- Bob Dylan

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.The more of it one has the more one wants.
- Benjamin Franklin 

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Visualize your end result as having already been accomplished.Let the image of your success play on the giant screen in full color with surround sound - so real you can smell and taste it.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Success is not the key to happiness.Happiness is the key to success.If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.- Albert Schweitzer

Note that this Schweitzer quote only makes sense when using the traditional measure of success: money/prestige/power. I would be more inclined to say,"If you love what you are doing, you ARE a success. -jlh"

Always be a first-rate version of yourself,instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.- Judy Garland

Find a time and place of solitude.Look into the distance, and into the future.Visualize the tomorrow you are going to build -and begin to build that tomorrow, today.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Be resolute in your goals, but flexible in your tactics.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
