Achieving success

Achieving success

How can you use this quality of persistence to become successful in all aspects of life? Let's consider a busy executive with many important tasks. This is an appropriate example, because you must manage your life if you want to become a star athlete. And eventually, when you are no longer a competitive athlete, you will need to manage the business of your life.

If an executive values his or her health as being important to reaching their primary goal, then the executive must program himself or herself to do the thing that are necessary to maintain good health, vitality, and energy so that the person can get what he or she wants out of life.

To put this idea into practice, first determine just what you must do: How many hours per week must you exercise if you are to reach your goal? How much time do you need to devote to fitness? To strength training? To practicing the skills specific to your sport?

Then set up a schedule, and do not let anything interfere with that schedule. The time that you set aside for exercise is just as important as your performance on the playing field, maybe more so. If you sacrifice one exercise session to deal with some other problem associated with your primary goal, you are not helping yourself, for you will suffer in the health and fitness area.

Use a holistic approach: Determine your primary goal. then determine the ingredients necessary to help you reach that goal. In addition, analyze why you want to reach that goal; when you do this, you may find goals that are really important to you, goals that will spell success in life for you.

There are always several ingredients involved in reaching goals. All of these must be taken into consideration.

If you cannot demonstrate discipline in the various ingredients that go into your formula for reaching your primary goal, you are not likely to have the discipline necessary for the big things when they come along.

Here's how to proceed

You must be healthy both mentally and physically. The best way to make the necessary decisions on what to do is to spend some time in quiet contemplation and meditation. To achieve your goals, program yourself at your level. Whenever you deviate, reprogram yourself at alpha and correct your ways. Make the correction immediately, as soon as you notice a tendency to deviate. Avoid developing bad habits. Use the Silva Method Habit Control Techniques to eliminate bad habits and initiate good ones.

Meditation brings mental health. Physical exercise promotes physical health. The two together will boost you towards your goal.

Set your goals. Take time to learn and use the alpha level to help you make correct decisions, and to program yourself to achieve your goals. And persist. Do this, and you will succeed.

Take the best road to success

Many people have sacrificed everything to reach their goals, only to find that the rewards were not worth the price. The great all-pro football player who blamed steroids for causing the cancer that took his life is one example. He spoke out and said that the prize was not worth the price.

I'm not saying that you should not do everything that you can reasonably do to achieve your goal. But sometimes the price is just too high.

If you use your alpha level, and a little bit of common sense, then you can achieve greatness without paying too high a price. Here is my formula:

Set your goal, using your alpha level, and give it everything you've got. If you are repeatedly blocked from reaching your goal, then step back and analyze the situation, at your level. If things keep getting more and more difficult for you, then perhaps you are on the wrong path.

I like to put it this way: If you are trying to open a door that leads to your destination, and the door won't open even after repeated attempts, then step back and look around. Is there another door that could be going to the same destination? Then try that door. Maybe it will open for you.
