In my constant research on the principles of success, I have had the opportunity to read books written by highly successful people both dead and alive. No kidding! If you want to succeed, there are universal principles that are iron-cast and guaranteed to lead you to your most desired success. One of these principles is purpose. You need to use the power of purpose if you really want to succeed.
The creator himself set this example for us to follow. Everything he created has a purpose. After talking other things into existence, He created man to dominate, take care of other things He created and to be absolutely in charge of the garden. No wonder man have developed the amazing capacity to control the animals and other living things.
If you want to know if any man has any purpose just ask this simple question-'What is your one definite purpose in life and what are your plans to making it happen?' You easily predict your future or other peoples chances with the kind of answer given to that question.
Out of every hundred people, it has been discovered that only two people have purpose for living and greatly determined to achieve success. Others have vague ideas about what their real purpose is. They give such answers as 'I'd like to make a good living and become successful as I can'. If the same applies in your own case then, it is more likely that you will never get anything out of life except the leftovers of truly successful people. Successful people are those who have a definite purpose and a plan for attaining it.
What then is the right way to go. How can you attain success by simple application of proven success principles?
Here we go. To be successful, you must be ready to do the following:
1. Decide at this moment exactly what your goal is
2. Lay out the steps by which you intend to reach it.
Years ago, a report was given of a writer who would have remained starved if he had not come across an inventor who changed the course of his life. His encounter with the inventor caused him to decide to be the top patent attorney in the United States. He thereafter set a plan to go back to school to read law. He decided what exactly he wanted (Purpose) and set plans to achieve it.
He completed his law school in record time. He thereafter handled tough cases which attracted high flying clients to his chambers though he charged the highest fees. He gained wide reputation and his service was in high demand.
The person who acts with purpose and a plan attracts opportunities.
Your purpose might not be to change the course of your career. It may be to help others achieve success. If you really want to achieve success, adopt the principle of purpose. Decide upon a definite goal. Write it down. Commit it to memory. Decide exactly how you plan to achieve it. Then take action on it immediately.
