The way to prosperity

Success is achieved when we shift from desire to duty, from belief to behaviour, from plans to performance, from awareness to action.

Hope vs Action.

Success is a like or dislike of the mind, ego driven.

[TeranDios]

Duty can exist without desire..Action can exist without hope.
It often takes both to succeed. In a sense you confuse me..because if I've hope and I do nothing about it..it leads straight to depression.
I had done things that people called amazing without hope.Yet things that I personally called amazing rarely ever come even from action filled with belief and hope. Constant hope can only come from self-respect earned(also earning) from constant action.

Hope should lead us to action.

It’s ironic that one must be fearless and let go to become liberated.

This is exactly why I finally decided to take massive action and give the stock markets the middle finger and become a real estate investor this week

Hmm I see where you're going with this, but I also see holes in this philosophy as well.

"Desire vs. Duty..."

I don't think "duty" is the right way to put it... more of Desire backed by Purpose. You can have a desire, or not have a desire and you will always have a duty to perform. Duty can be menial or grand, forced, or chosen. Duty is nothing more than obligation and people are not naturally driven by obligation towards success.

If you feel obligated towards success you are burdened by the journey rather than liberated by it. The idea of higher potential and fulfillment of a grander purpose will provide motivation and will break down into the simpler desires you must use to achieve success.

"... from belief to behavior"

These are almost intertwined. You don't shift from belief to behavior for success... You become aware of your behaviors and how they affect the present time in relation to your perception and experience of current reality.

Then depending on how well you apply positive attraction theory (aka Law of Attraction*) will result in the nature of the choices your perception presents to your awareness. Expanding your awareness is key to noticing the positive attractions that practicing attraction theory will create.

If your beliefs are not in tune with your grand purpose and your immediate desire leading you towards your ultimate dream, then your perception is narrowed and the awareness is automatically limited.

Beliefs are only beneficial when they are OPEN and exist in an interchangeable manner. I think that VALUES are more important than mere beliefs because beliefs are not traceable to a source.

You can have a faulted belief quite easily and it can hold you back from success, ESPECIALLY if you let it shift to behavior. However values come from the source of your overall MORALE and core guiding principles.

You can have the value of not lying, but the belief that white lies are OK cause they aren't THAT bad... what kind of behavior is best to go with, go against your inner principle or shift that belief into a behavior (which could lead to something MUCH worse, like compulsive white lying that just builds on itself)?

*I don't believe the "Law of Attration" is a law until it can be TRULY scientifically proven, which no matter how you spin it through quantum physics, it's still only a theory

"from plans to performance"

I see more validity in this towards your statement, but still... planning IS performance if you think about it.

I don't know if telling people that plans TO performance will help them, but rather reassuring them that if they plan they ARE performing... and planning WHILE performing is also key.

Sticking with ONE game plan can lead to failure... you have to be willing and AWARE of the capability that plans can shift for improving performance towards success.

But really in this case you use the word performing as in specific ACTION towards the success, and you mention Hope vs Action further on...

Action is definitely important in this case lol.

But in the sense of planning and performance, the true thing you are looking for is accurate thinking and focused implementation.

You want to make sure your plans are accurate and during your implementing of the plans that your focus is in harmony with your plans, even if the plans must be altered.

"Awareness to action"

I think I like the phrase "Awareness of Perception" because your perception really makes up your reality and how you experience, act, and react in that reality. If you can become aware of how you perceive reality you can begin to question and reform that perception and thus begin directly altering your reality through deliberate action.

As for Hope vs. Action,

Hope is nothing more than the power of enthusiasm. It is just an energizing emotion. Hope without action like mentioned above will digress a person into an adverse state of mind, largely due to the quantity of burned energy without perceived gain from it.

I think hope, combined with EXPECTATION, combined with deliberate ACCURATE action is a powerful force. It gives you the energy, faith, and awareness to see the workings of your mind, and body and allows your inner guidance (soul/subconscious) to deliver plans that are most beneficial to your journey (according to what knowledge/information you feed into it... it only presents what you give to it).

If you don't feed it positive knowledge you allow ANYTHING to get through and typically the EGO delivers false hope to the mind and thus these ideas become your pick of the choosing.

Anyways, I wasn't in any way trying to attack YOU or your comments, but rather challenging you to view them in a different light.

Ultimately how you perceive things will ignite the foundation of your reality... as an example, you can perceive this very post to be an enlightening viewpoint of your original post (the true intention), or possibly as an attack to your intellect (which is not the intention).
