Hi everyone,

What do you think is the single most important thing that will bring you success?

Success if the result of a combination of several factors, but what is the key ingredient that triggers off a series of other factors that will bring you success?

Action

bluedragon · 12-22-2008, 02:53 PM

Proactivity with a touch of LoA.

Daily exercise helps me to have the resilience to handle life's knockbacks and to start each day anew and refreshed.I also feel successful because I feel good.It doesn't matter what chick is at your elbow or how much cash you have in the bank.Success to me is feeling good and daily exercise helps to lay that positive foundation every day.This then may allow you to make certain decisions or attract certain possibilites to you that would not be possible if you didn't feel good. Feel good. Thats the end point for me.Anything else is a bonus.

I think focusing on our goals most of the time w.r.t both thinking and acting will lead us to success.

in the past when I have been successful at something I was confident that I could accomplish this thing and therefore was able to complete the task at hand

vMike · 12-22-2008, 06:21 PM

determination

Parthon · 12-22-2008, 06:31 PM

persistance

Swede · 12-22-2008, 09:24 PM

Being so excited that you see an adventure ahead. Then "failures" will only be temporary.

Hyperchiller · 12-22-2008, 10:01 PM

Persistence in the direction of your purpose.

silicon toad2000 · 12-23-2008, 03:49 AM

when you find yourself in the right place at the right time, make sure you have the right information, skills and you know the right people.
easy eh?

David365 · 12-23-2008, 08:21 PM

I think most of the above are important factors, but ultimately you have to know clearly (and passionately) what you want, then plan how to get there. Otherwise the action and persistence can just send you in circles.

Restrikted · 12-23-2008, 08:39 PM

Motivation.

allen080105 · 12-23-2008, 08:45 PM

focusing on what you want

MisterEThoughts · 12-24-2008, 03:28 AM

Experience.

Jarrod · 12-24-2008, 05:52 AM

Daily action towards your goals

theknightwhosaysni-NI · 12-24-2008, 09:57 AM

Action for me too.

It's been my experience, that if I take action I'm 100% sure to be successful in a way or another.

Strange that it's still hard to take action sometimes...

Truly knowing what I want. I suppose you could call it focus or confidence in my choices or clarity.

bbdream8 · 01-09-2009, 02:39 PM

It seems like most of us think that action is the most important factor in order to have success.

SimonaRich · 01-09-2009, 09:04 PM

Complete mastery of the universal laws.

Angela · 01-09-2009, 09:09 PM

Taking 100% responsibility for my own satisfaction and fulfillment.

That is hands-down, far and away, the most powerful tool in the success box, way ahead of action. Although action's good, too!

RT Wolf · 01-10-2009, 12:40 AM

Depends. Just because we have one word to describe a state in a lot of different situations doesn't mean that those have anything in common. Like, what are common features of "food" without using synonyms of definitions?

But if I had to pick, prolly say its action, with a heavy emphasis on physical action but also mental and emotional.

bluedragon · 01-10-2009, 05:29 AM

The unshakable belief that it is possible for me to succeed in anything.

magi13 · 01-10-2009, 05:56 PM

Try, keep on trying with positive thinking and a street smart attitude. ^^

As nike advertises "Just do it." -> Try

jtracy · 01-10-2009, 06:39 PM

I beleive it is being able to clearly identify what you want and focusing on it like a laser.
I think everything else comes from that.

RT Wolf · 01-10-2009, 08:01 PM

Constant improvement of yourself. In the course of this, you'll probably hit on all the others at some point.

n_vizion · 01-11-2009, 03:17 AM

Consistency in action. Sporadic action will produce some results but not success.

JGrace · 01-12-2009, 04:57 PM

Working on your psychological blocks
which prevent success.
fear of failure
fear of success
low self esteem
lack of vision,hope or self confidence

and removing the people from your life
who thwart you.
