Yet most of us simply haven't created the successful life we want, yet. We complain that we don't have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. We point fingers and blame outside problems that "happen" to us and make life more difficult. But what we need to understand and keep at the forefront of our minds is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves. Regardless of personal circumstances, economic climates, and access to resources, it helps to maintain faith in the fact that we each are more powerful than we think. We all have the ability to create the life we want. We just need to learn how to do it. Is there an exact "formula"? No, but there are certain common features that successful people exhibit and that anyone can practice. They are what can jumpstart your success and attract what you want in life. You'd be hard pressed to find any high achiever who doesn't live by the following 7 tips: 1. Take No Less than 100% Responsibility for Your Life One of the greatest myths that is pervasive in our culture today is the idea that you are entitled to a great life – and that somehow, somewhere, someone is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, nurturing family time, and blissful personal relationships simply because we exist. But the real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live. That person is you. Everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing. Income. Debt. Relationships. Health. Fitness level. Attitudes and behaviors. That person who reflects back at you in the mirror is the chief conductor in your life. Say hello! I think everyone knows this in their hearts, but the mind can play games, tricking plenty of people into thinking external factors are the source of failure, disappointment, and unhappiness. But the truth of the matter is that external factors don't determine how you live. You are in complete control of the quality of your life. Successful people take full responsibility for the thoughts they think, the images they visualize, and the actions they take. They don't waste their time and energy blaming and complaining. They evaluate their experiences and decide if they need to change them or not. They face the uncomfortable and take risks in order to create the life they want to live. 2. Be Clear Why You're Here I believe each of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. They take the time to understand what they're here to do, and then they pursue that purpose with passion and enthusiasm. If you don't know what you're supposed to be doing, tune in to the signals around you. Looking toward others for help and guidance is helpful, but don't forget to stay tuned in to yourself—your behavior, attitude, likes and dislikes, and life experiences. Identify what's working and what isn't. If you need to, write it all down. You might be surprised by what you discover. 3. Decide What You Want It sounds so simple, but here's the problem: I see plenty of people who are overly busy yet who feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled. They are physically tired, spiritually drained, and far from where they'd like to be—as if they've been running on a treadmill going nowhere fast. Why? Because they haven't clearly mapped out what they want and then taken the steps to get there. Rather than identifying specific goals, milestones, and dreams (and I'm talking BIG dreams and goals here), they go through the motions day in and day out tackling unimportant tasks. They end up...you guessed it...going in circles and wasting lots of energy. In the meanwhile, they grow increasingly uninspired and out of touch with their authentic selves. This, of course, sets anyone up to living a life out of balance. One of the main reasons why most people don't get what they want is they haven't decided what they want. They haven't defined their desires in clear and compelling detail. What does success look like to you? Not everybody's definition of success is the same, nor should it be. Don't let your inner devil's advocate (or that incessant but unimportant To Do list) inhibit you from dreaming big. As soon as you commit to a big dream and really go after it, your subconscious creative mind will come up with big ideas to make it happen. You'll start attracting the people, resources, and opportunities you need into your life to make your dream come true. Big dreams not only inspire you, but they also compel others to want to play big, too. 4. Believe It Is Possible Scientists used to believe that humans responded to information flowing into the brain from the outside world. But today, they're learning that instead we respond to what the brain, based on previous experience, expects to happen next. In fact, the mind is such a powerful instrument, it can deliver literally everything you want. But you have to believe that what you want is possible. As you commit to believing in yourself, also make a commitment to toning down the complaint department. Look at what you are complaining about: I'm fat. I'm tired. I can't get out of debt. I won't ever get a better job. I can't stand the relationship I have with my father. I'll never find a soul mate in life. Really examine your complaints. More than likely you can do something about them. They are not about other people, other things, or other events. They are about YOU. 5. Believe in Yourself If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes; the abilities, inner resources, talents and skills to create your desired results. Have unwavering faith in yourself, for good and bad. Make the decision to believe that you create all your experiences. You will experience successes thanks to you, and you will experience pain, struggle, and strife thanks to you. Sounds a little strange, but accepting this level of responsibility is uniquely empowering. It means you can do, change, and be anything. Stumbling blocks become just that—little hills to hop over. 6. Become an Inverse Paranoid This one is straightforward: Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity. Successful people do just that. 7. Unleash the Power of Goal Setting Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work day and night to achieve. To engage you subconscious mind, a goal has to be measurable. When there aren't any criteria for measurement, it is simply something you want, a wish, a preference, or a good idea. Sometimes we need to make just one initial goal to get started, and that's okay. At least it comes with a few actions to achieve. A first step simply can be making an immediate change in a single area in your life. Are you unhappy about something that is happening right now? Make requests that will make it more desirable to you, or take the steps to change it yourself. Remember that self-motivated people win at life so always push yourself to accomplish your goals and learn new skills. If you want a different outcome, change your behavior Making a change might be uncomfortable and overwhelming for you. It might mean you have to put in more time, money, and effort. It might mean that someone gets upset about it, or makes you feel bad about your decision. It might be difficult to change or leave a situation, but staying put is your choice so why continue to complain? You can either do something about it or not. It is your choice and you have responsibility for your choices. Pro tip: Use daily affirmations to focus on your goals and reprogram your subconscious mind. Bear in mind that you have to be willing to change your behavior if you want a different outcome. You have to be willing to take the risks necessary to get what you want. If you've already taken an initial step in the right direction, now's the time to plan more steps to keep moving you forward faster. That's how people become successful! Isn't it a great relief to know that you can make your life what you want it to be? Isn't it wonderful that your successes do not depend on someone else? So, if you need just one thing to do different today than you did yesterday, make it this: Commit to taking 100% responsibility for every aspect of your life. Decide to make changes, one step at a time. Once you start the process you'll discover it is much easier to get what you want by taking control of your thoughts, your visualizations, and your actions!

I have just been through a period of taking massive action and making changes in my life. I wrote the book Divine Divorce which will be published in February, I have moved from Canada to Belize and now I will settle down in Mexico. After all of this work and making big changes I notice that I have been resting and not moving forward with more massive action. I know what needs to be done and I know where I want to go. This article reminds me that I have let your #1 point slip a little, taking 100% responsibility for what I am creating. I have been taking a holiday, when what really serves me is to keep my eye on the target, set some goals and keep taking consistent action to move forward. Thank you for all your inspiration over the last 5 years.

My thoughts have gone from I don’t want to I want and from I cant to I can and I will. I am a child of God and I was able to align this teaching with his word so I am please to say that I have checks on the way that I’m waiting on right now an they wont stop coming in. I also am waiting on my wife that I want. I know her and shell be in my life very soon. I know that I was provided this information by god and I am very thankful. I even came across this web site because all I’ve been thinking about is the video I watched on Netflix. Lol unspeakable joy is what I have in my heart right now and its not going any where Mรกrcia says: January 25, 2013 at 11:18 am Mr. Canfield, assisti seu vรญdeo no YouTube e li seu artigo. Eu estava precisando de uma palavra de motivaรงรฃo e encontrรก-lo na internet foi como uma brisa num dia quente. Gostaria de compartilhar minha estรณria. Minha vida sempre foi cercada por pessoas que queriam me puxar para baixo, entรฃo sei muito bem que o que nos leva para frente somos apenas nossos prรณprios pensamentos. Ainda hoje me lembro de um episรณdio ocorrido hรก 20 anos atrรกs. Eu estava fazendo uma teste na escola e um professor ironicamente me perguntou se eu queria mesmo ser engenheira, pois ele nรฃo acreditava que eu seria capaz. Hoje tenho 2 graduaรงรตes, uma em engenharia civil e outra em administraรงรฃo de empresas. Trabalho na construรงรฃo civil desde a รฉpoca em que estudava engenharia civil. Porรฉm, no รบltimo ano tive uma experiรชncia profissional desgastaste, que me deixou muito deprimida. Inclusive, essa mรก experiรชncia incluiu uma empresa norte-americana, a qual estava em parceria com a empresa brasileira em que eu trabalhava, e que, graรงas ao esforรงo da equipe, ganhamos o projeto de uma nova indรบstria automobilรญstica que estรก sendo construรญda aqui no Brasil. Trabalhamos arduamente neste projeto por quase 1 ano, inclusive nรฃo tenho nenhuma reclamaรงรฃo dos colegas norte-americanos. Mas, infelizmente, apesar de todo meu trabalho duro, nรฃo obtive o reconhecimento que esperava da empresa em que trabalhava. Como falado na sua palestra, tentei culpar elementos externos, mas todo o stress que eu sofri nรฃo me deixava enxergar que somente eu poderia sair daquela espiral descendente. Pedi demissรฃo do meu emprego e fiquei desempregada. Consegui emprego em outra empresa, mas continuo infeliz na minha vida profissional e pessoal. Porรฉm, encontrei muita inspiraรงรฃo nos conselhos que li em seu website. Estou traรงando novas metas e pretendo me superar no ano de 2013. Muito obrigada! Barbara J Henry says: January 26, 2013 at 2:28 pm Hello Jack, what a powerful, uplifting article,and it is so true! One thing I have done is take full responsibility for my life; I remember your saying that W.Clement Stone was the person who asked you if you took full responsibility for your life/actions. I, like you, taught in the Chicago public high schools (English) for many years,and I have finally left to pursue my dream of becoming a published author and inspirational speaker. I will need your help, Jack to make my dream a reality.

I'm a skeptic, a college prof, and an editor. I'm not into magical thinking, and there is very little of that in "The Success Principles." Yes, I know some folks lump it in with "The Secret" et al.--but there's a lot of woowoo in "The Secret," and you're not pushing woowoo. There's nothing flaky about, "Take 100% responsibility for . . ." your life, your work, and just about everything else. That there says "I'm responsible." Not magical thinking. But me. My actions. My thinking. My planning. But you also don't dump on me that which is not mine, and you don't make me the center of the universe by implying that I can change things that are really not within my control. This is grownup philosophy--complete with boundaries. So as I said, Jack. Thanks for the book. I've had it for years and I love it. And thanks for being one of the places we rational folk can turn to for inspiration.

Yet most of us simply haven't created the successful life we want, yet. We complain that we don't have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. We point fingers and blame outside problems that "happen" to us and make life more difficult. But what we need to understand and keep at the forefront of our minds is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves. Regardless of personal circumstances, economic climates, and access to resources, it helps to maintain faith in the fact that we each are more powerful than we think. We all have the ability to create the life we want. We just need to learn how to do it. Is there an exact "formula"? No, but there are certain common features that successful people exhibit and that anyone can practice. They are what can jumpstart your success and attract what you want in life. You'd be hard pressed to find any high achiever who doesn't live by the following 7 tips: 1. Take No Less than 100% Responsibility for Your Life One of the greatest myths that is pervasive in our culture today is the idea that you are entitled to a great life – and that somehow, somewhere, someone is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, nurturing family time, and blissful personal relationships simply because we exist. But the real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live. That person is you. Everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing. Income. Debt. Relationships. Health. Fitness level. Attitudes and behaviors. That person who reflects back at you in the mirror is the chief conductor in your life. Say hello! I think everyone knows this in their hearts, but the mind can play games, tricking plenty of people into thinking external factors are the source of failure, disappointment, and unhappiness. But the truth of the matter is that external factors don't determine how you live. You are in complete control of the quality of your life. Successful people take full responsibility for the thoughts they think, the images they visualize, and the actions they take. They don't waste their time and energy blaming and complaining. They evaluate their experiences and decide if they need to change them or not. They face the uncomfortable and take risks in order to create the life they want to live. 2. Be Clear Why You're Here I believe each of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. They take the time to understand what they're here to do, and then they pursue that purpose with passion and enthusiasm. If you don't know what you're supposed to be doing, tune in to the signals around you. Looking toward others for help and guidance is helpful, but don't forget to stay tuned in to yourself—your behavior, attitude, likes and dislikes, and life experiences. Identify what's working and what isn't. If you need to, write it all down. You might be surprised by what you discover. 3. Decide What You Want It sounds so simple, but here's the problem: I see plenty of people who are overly busy yet who feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled. They are physically tired, spiritually drained, and far from where they'd like to be—as if they've been running on a treadmill going nowhere fast. Why? Because they haven't clearly mapped out what they want and then taken the steps to get there. Rather than identifying specific goals, milestones, and dreams (and I'm talking BIG dreams and goals here), they go through the motions day in and day out tackling unimportant tasks. They end up...you guessed it...going in circles and wasting lots of energy. In the meanwhile, they grow increasingly uninspired and out of touch with their authentic selves. This, of course, sets anyone up to living a life out of balance. One of the main reasons why most people don't get what they want is they haven't decided what they want. They haven't defined their desires in clear and compelling detail. What does success look like to you? Not everybody's definition of success is the same, nor should it be. Don't let your inner devil's advocate (or that incessant but unimportant To Do list) inhibit you from dreaming big. As soon as you commit to a big dream and really go after it, your subconscious creative mind will come up with big ideas to make it happen. You'll start attracting the people, resources, and opportunities you need into your life to make your dream come true. Big dreams not only inspire you, but they also compel others to want to play big, too. 4. Believe It Is Possible Scientists used to believe that humans responded to information flowing into the brain from the outside world. But today, they're learning that instead we respond to what the brain, based on previous experience, expects to happen next. In fact, the mind is such a powerful instrument, it can deliver literally everything you want. But you have to believe that what you want is possible. As you commit to believing in yourself, also make a commitment to toning down the complaint department. Look at what you are complaining about: I'm fat. I'm tired. I can't get out of debt. I won't ever get a better job. I can't stand the relationship I have with my father. I'll never find a soul mate in life. Really examine your complaints. More than likely you can do something about them. They are not about other people, other things, or other events. They are about YOU. 5. Believe in Yourself If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes; the abilities, inner resources, talents and skills to create your desired results. Have unwavering faith in yourself, for good and bad. Make the decision to believe that you create all your experiences. You will experience successes thanks to you, and you will experience pain, struggle, and strife thanks to you. Sounds a little strange, but accepting this level of responsibility is uniquely empowering. It means you can do, change, and be anything. Stumbling blocks become just that—little hills to hop over. 6. Become an Inverse Paranoid This one is straightforward: Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity. Successful people do just that. 7. Unleash the Power of Goal Setting Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work day and night to achieve. To engage you subconscious mind, a goal has to be measurable. When there aren't any criteria for measurement, it is simply something you want, a wish, a preference, or a good idea. Sometimes we need to make just one initial goal to get started, and that's okay. At least it comes with a few actions to achieve. A first step simply can be making an immediate change in a single area in your life. Are you unhappy about something that is happening right now? Make requests that will make it more desirable to you, or take the steps to change it yourself. Remember that self-motivated people win at life so always push yourself to accomplish your goals and learn new skills. If you want a different outcome, change your behavior Making a change might be uncomfortable and overwhelming for you. It might mean you have to put in more time, money, and effort. It might mean that someone gets upset about it, or makes you feel bad about your decision. It might be difficult to change or leave a situation, but staying put is your choice so why continue to complain? You can either do something about it or not. It is your choice and you have responsibility for your choices. Pro tip: Use daily affirmations to focus on your goals and reprogram your subconscious mind. Bear in mind that you have to be willing to change your behavior if you want a different outcome. You have to be willing to take the risks necessary to get what you want. If you've already taken an initial step in the right direction, now's the time to plan more steps to keep moving you forward faster. That's how people become successful! Isn't it a great relief to know that you can make your life what you want it to be? Isn't it wonderful that your successes do not depend on someone else? So, if you need just one thing to do different today than you did yesterday, make it this: Commit to taking 100% responsibility for every aspect of your life. Decide to make changes, one step at a time. Once you start the process you'll discover it is much easier to get what you want by taking control of your thoughts, your visualizations, and your actions!

I have just been through a period of taking massive action and making changes in my life. I wrote the book Divine Divorce which will be published in February, I have moved from Canada to Belize and now I will settle down in Mexico. After all of this work and making big changes I notice that I have been resting and not moving forward with more massive action. I know what needs to be done and I know where I want to go. This article reminds me that I have let your #1 point slip a little, taking 100% responsibility for what I am creating. I have been taking a holiday, when what really serves me is to keep my eye on the target, set some goals and keep taking consistent action to move forward.

My thoughts have gone from I don’t want to I want and from I cant to I can and I will. I am a child of God and I was able to align this teaching with his word so I am please to say that I have checks on the way that I’m waiting on right now an they wont stop coming in. I also am waiting on my wife that I want. I know her and shell be in my life very soon. I know that I was provided this information by god and I am very thankful. I even came across this web site because all I’ve been thinking about is the video I watched on Netflix. Lol unspeakable joy is what I have in my heart right now and its not going any where Mรกrcia says: January 25, 2013 at 11:18 am Mr. Canfield, assisti seu vรญdeo no YouTube e li seu artigo. Eu estava precisando de uma palavra de motivaรงรฃo e encontrรก-lo na internet foi como uma brisa num dia quente. Gostaria de compartilhar minha estรณria. Minha vida sempre foi cercada por pessoas que queriam me puxar para baixo, entรฃo sei muito bem que o que nos leva para frente somos apenas nossos prรณprios pensamentos. Ainda hoje me lembro de um episรณdio ocorrido hรก 20 anos atrรกs. Eu estava fazendo uma teste na escola e um professor ironicamente me perguntou se eu queria mesmo ser engenheira, pois ele nรฃo acreditava que eu seria capaz. Hoje tenho 2 graduaรงรตes, uma em engenharia civil e outra em administraรงรฃo de empresas. Trabalho na construรงรฃo civil desde a รฉpoca em que estudava engenharia civil. Porรฉm, no รบltimo ano tive uma experiรชncia profissional desgastaste, que me deixou muito deprimida. Inclusive, essa mรก experiรชncia incluiu uma empresa norte-americana, a qual estava em parceria com a empresa brasileira em que eu trabalhava, e que, graรงas ao esforรงo da equipe, ganhamos o projeto de uma nova indรบstria automobilรญstica que estรก sendo construรญda aqui no Brasil. Trabalhamos arduamente neste projeto por quase 1 ano, inclusive nรฃo tenho nenhuma reclamaรงรฃo dos colegas norte-americanos. Mas, infelizmente, apesar de todo meu trabalho duro, nรฃo obtive o reconhecimento que esperava da empresa em que trabalhava. Como falado na sua palestra, tentei culpar elementos externos, mas todo o stress que eu sofri nรฃo me deixava enxergar que somente eu poderia sair daquela espiral descendente. Pedi demissรฃo do meu emprego e fiquei desempregada. Consegui emprego em outra empresa, mas continuo infeliz na minha vida profissional e pessoal. Porรฉm, encontrei muita inspiraรงรฃo nos conselhos que li em seu website. Estou traรงando novas metas e pretendo me superar no ano de 2013. Muito obrigada! Barbara J Henry says: January 26, 2013 at 2:28 pm Hello Jack, what a powerful, uplifting article,and it is so true! One thing I have done is take full responsibility for my life; I remember your saying that W.Clement Stone was the person who asked you if you took full responsibility for your life/actions. I, like you, taught in the Chicago public high schools (English) for many years,and I have finally left to pursue my dream of becoming a published author and inspirational speaker. I will need your help, Jack to make my dream a reality.

I'm a skeptic, a college prof, and an editor. I'm not into magical thinking, and there is very little of that in "The Success Principles." Yes, I know some folks lump it in with "The Secret" et al.--but there's a lot of woowoo in "The Secret," and you're not pushing woowoo. There's nothing flaky about, "Take 100% responsibility for . . ." your life, your work, and just about everything else. That there says "I'm responsible." Not magical thinking. But me. My actions. My thinking. My planning. But you also don't dump on me that which is not mine, and you don't make me the center of the universe by implying that I can change things that are really not within my control. This is grownup philosophy--complete with boundaries. So as I said, Jack. Thanks for the book. I've had it for years and I love it. And thanks for being one of the places we rational folk can turn to for inspiration.

I usually end up carrying the ball, initiating all the contact, etc. I don't have a close friend who is on a path similar to mine. My husband is great support, but I don't know if having him as my accountability partner is a good idea. I'm open to suggestions here!

Minha vida sempre foi cercada por pessoas que queriam me puxar para baixo, entรฃo sei muito bem que o que nos leva para frente somos apenas nossos prรณprios pensamentos. Ainda hoje me lembro de um episรณdio ocorrido hรก 20 anos atrรกs. Eu estava fazendo uma teste na escola e um professor ironicamente me perguntou se eu queria mesmo ser engenheira, pois ele nรฃo acreditava que eu seria capaz. Hoje tenho 2 graduaรงรตes, uma em engenharia civil e outra em administraรงรฃo de empresas. Trabalho na construรงรฃo civil desde a รฉpoca em que estudava engenharia civil.
Porรฉm, no รบltimo ano tive uma experiรชncia profissional desgastaste, que me deixou muito deprimida. Inclusive, essa mรก experiรชncia incluiu uma empresa norte-americana, a qual estava em parceria com a empresa brasileira em que eu trabalhava, e que, graรงas ao esforรงo da equipe, ganhamos o projeto de uma nova indรบstria automobilรญstica que estรก sendo construรญda aqui no Brasil. Trabalhamos arduamente neste projeto por quase 1 ano, inclusive nรฃo tenho nenhuma reclamaรงรฃo dos colegas norte-americanos. Mas, infelizmente, apesar de todo meu trabalho duro, nรฃo obtive o reconhecimento que esperava da empresa em que trabalhava.
Como falado na sua palestra, tentei culpar elementos externos, mas todo o stress que eu sofri nรฃo me deixava enxergar que somente eu poderia sair daquela espiral descendente.
Pedi demissรฃo do meu emprego e fiquei desempregada. Consegui emprego em outra empresa, mas continuo infeliz na minha vida profissional e pessoal.
Porรฉm, encontrei muita inspiraรงรฃo nos conselhos que li em seu website. Estou traรงando novas metas e pretendo me superar no ano de 2013. Muito obrigada!
I, like you, taught in the Chicago public high schools (English) for many years,and I have finally left to pursue my dream of becoming a published author and inspirational speaker. I will need your help, Jack to make my dream a reality.
Sincerely,
Barbara J Henry
