One definition of 'success,'according to Webster,is the gaining of wealth,fame, rank,etc.This is a meaning with which many of us can identify because no matter where we are in our lives,it is my belief that any meaning of success will include some or all of the above descriptors.

Sure,we all have different ways of achieving 'success',but when we arrive,that is,when we succeed,our success is usually measured by the same standards: What we have achieved in the areas of money,fame,popularity,and position or status.

Success is generally measured by outward signs:the type of clothes worn,the car one drives or in which one is chauffeured,for example,but no matter how success looks on the outside,it is an inside job.

Success in any thing begins within us,and it is there in our minds,both the conscious and the subsconcious, where true success is accomplished.
When we realize this pivotal fact,we will begin to notice more frequently,and monitor more carefully what we say do, and think.
An old proverb says:"If there is no enemy within,the enemy without can do no harm".
Whatever your definition of success ,and however success looks to you, remember this:All things evolve from the inside out.


What to Do Next:
* Begin monitoring your thoughts and your
words daily;
* Speak only those words that empower you
and those around you;
* Select someone who loves you and wants
you to succeed,to remind you to shift
your words,or actions when needed.
