Without a clear definition and thorough understanding about what you consider success to be how will you know when you finally reach the destination that you have set?

The mind is amazing and it is capable of giving you whatever you desire but you have to be careful when putting it into action because if you are not completely clear in your desires you may regret what you wish for.

Vague instructions like “I want to be rich or I want to have a big business” are really too vague!  These are more like a wishes and your mind will generally pay little attention to vague wishes.

 You need to clarify:

• How will you feel when you reach your goal?
• What will your days be like; how will you spend your time?
• What kind of car will you drive?
• What does your house look like?
• How is your business functioning day to day?
• Is your business self sustainable?
• How much money do you have in the bank?

I have known many rich and people that appear to be successful that are really unhappy.  The media is always reporting about rich, famous, and successful people that have committed suicide leaving many of us wondering why.  What was so bad in their lives that would cause them to end it all?

Most of the time it is because their success was not what they thought it would be like.  After all the hard work and sacrifices that they made to obtain their success; their lives were not what they wanted! 

This is not success!  It is failure to the extreme; which means that their original concept of success was totally different from what they achieved.  This is why I say you need to be very clear about what you consider success to be.

The ultimate reward is to get what you want and want what you get!

Only you can decide where you are going and what you expect to have when you reach your destination.  Be careful and give a lot of thought in setting your goal!
