The Secret Of Success - Success Principles

By: Strephon Kaplan-Williams


Let's face it! You think you are doing pretty well in your life, and maybe you are.

Yet, what if you are failing your potential?

And maybe you are!

We promise here to give you some SECRETS TO SUCCESS IN LIFE. It still means you have to find out what they are for you, the one and only.

Here are the rules, the templates to guide your choices and what you can choose to do in life.

Why do I, the writer here, even attempt to list for others than myself what is the SECRET OF SUCCESS IN LIFE?

Because frankly, I have also had failures in life. I wish there had been a wiser person than I around who could advise me without telling me specifically what to do.

I have had some enormous successes as well.

Please realize that in giving these sixteen points that I cannot explain all. You are always welcome to visit my website at Creative Writing and Writers.com. to review what else I say about these points and to see if my book on the subject is ready yet for download.

THE PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE

  1. Waste not, want not.
  2. Focus on what you do best (FOWYDB), not on what others want you to do.
  3. Meet the needs of others (MTNOO) with what you can do best.
  4. Do not manipulate to get: negotiate needs and rewards.
  5. Create value with your time and energy.
  6. Know yourself honestly and realistically.
  7. Work cooperatively in a partnership or team.
  8. Obey the laws of reality.
  9. Don't try hard, try right (DTHTR).
  10. Reinvest your excess resources in making better what you best do to earn reward in life.
  11. Want what you get, not try to get what you want.
  12. Know what you want (KWYW) and focus your energy to get it, consistent with reality.
  13. Give all to get all (GATGA).
  14. To get what you want you must not want it.
  15. Strive for excellence (SFE) in all that you do.
  16. Balance the opposites for creative resolution in all things.


EXAMPLES OF FAILURES IN LIFE

A. Many of us have had this one. We fell deeply in what felt like love with a certain person, but we did not do the effective thing to get that person into relationship with us. What did we do wrong?

Well, you can look through the above list and see what points apply.

I know for me in my middle twenties I had a really good companion in school but somehow I was having difficulty getting her into a full relationship. I tried and then when she opened I failed. Without making this a sob story I can say I failed point 15 - (SFE).

I was striving for excellence with her but then when she opened my behavior deteriorated. I did not act with a sense of excellent value for both of us. It was only later after more experience that I committed to going for excellence in personal relating. If somehow with someone we did not achieve excellence together I knew the relationship could not long continue. Just one example here.

B. When I was working part time and going to graduate school I was in four graduate schools one right after the other. In a sense I failed 12. (KWYW). I was interested in too many things and master of none. Finally I focused on what I could earn my main living by, which was psychology, and got a masters degree in it. Since then I focused more and more this way.

EXAMPLES OF SUCCESS STORIES

A. Getting my Dream Cards published, Simon and Schuster, in eight languages with over 110,000 copies sold in hardback. This is an achievement since one economic survey reported that in 2002 out of over one million books published that year only 500 sold over 100,000 copies.

What created my success?

How about 2. (FOWYDB), I focused on what I did best, which was my work in Jungian psychology and working with dreams. I also had developed my writing skills sufficiently to publish a number of other books that sold. I was definitely focused on an area in the market I thought I could make an original contribution to.

However, it was also coincidence. My publishers had the original idea for dream cards and matched me, an expert on dreamwork, to their publishing idea, dream cards. I had already proposed to them a tarot type deck based on the archetypes. When they preferred dreams cards I switched ideas and designed the first deck of dream cards ever published, which has sold over 110,000 copies now in eight languages, as I said before.

Number 3.(MTNOO) applies well here. I was presented with a need the publishers had. I knew there was a good chance I could meet their need with my already developed expertise. I had the drive, the experience and the talent to succeed. And succeed I did. However, I would not have accepted the challenge and the contract if what they wanted published was not in my area of expertise or value system.

Number 13. (GATGA) comes nicely here. You have got to have gatga to achieve breakthrough projects and values in life. When I signed the contract for The Dream Cards a deck of dream cards had never been published. So I had to start fresh. I could not use tarot decks as a model because this was about dreams and people's need for wholeness and inner wisdom based on a Jungian model. Also I was given the task to design a system that would give relevant meaning via Dream Cards spreads to any dream dreamed in the night. This is an almost impossible task requiring the principle: you give all to get all.

It worked, and it might have failed. 110,000 copies out there in eight languages is a publishing success. They were published in 1991 and are still in print being sold in some countries, though not in America at this time.

Know when to give all to get all. Know when to go for breakthroughs.

You want success: risk failure. This was exactly my experience here. Some of my students have also had this experience.

Little matter if a person had a severe life challenge, like being diagnosed for cancer, or having your two children die, one from cancer and one from murder. Go for breakthroughs. Lose all to gain all. This is a wisdom principle with ancient roots but still effective today. In the examples above the persons worked positively and did not come down with cancer. The mother of the deceased children went on to live a more positive life.

We recommend balance by combining more than one wisdom principle at a time. Balance 13. (GATGA) with 9. (DTHTR). For instance: don't try hard, try right.

When we don't try hard but do try right we have breakthroughs in what we do. Things more likely work than not. This principle does not mean for me that we simply do what is easy in life. We can work our butts off for a value and a success. Yet go where the energy is, another principle not directly included above. Put your energy where it is most likely to work out well in reality.

YOUR TASK IF YOU CHOOSE IT

1. Go over the 16 principles above and see which one or ones you have used to create success. This is sure to give you insights about yourself and life. Surely you have a success that is important to you, that mirrors the real you. See in the above points what key ideas might apply to making that success happen.

2. After the above analysis ask yourself how might those success statements above apply to a current life situation? Make a plan using the success principles that have worked.

3. You can of course take a new success principle and apply it in your life right now and see what happens. Imagine what your life could be like into the future if you practiced regularly many of the 16 success principles outlined above.

4. Now here is a hard one, maybe not for you but for a lot of us. Once you seem to understand the 16 success principles stated above, go over your current life situations you want to make into a success story. If some of the choices you are currently making are contrary to any of the above 16 success principles, can you now stop doing them?

5. What it comes down to is making a commitment to yourself to make a list of success principles, including any of the above you choose for. Now extend your commitment to yourself to live from your list of success principles, and also not to live from any attitudes or desires that seem directly contrary to your list of success principles.

WHERE PEOPLE TOO OFTEN FAIL IN LIFE

You probably know this by now, but it needs saying anyway.

-Some people are just lazy: spiritually lazy and physically and mentally lazy. You should not be working an eight hour day. You should be working a sixteen hour day! What do we mean by that? Of course don't overwork to exhaust yourself. Yet do work purposefully and effectively in all that you do throughout your day. Always be learning. Always be creating as you can. Even when you rest, rest in the most effective way you can that renews yourself.

-People most often fail themselves in life by working against themselves. Another reason I am describing my success principles for you is that I have used them to focus my actions and choices so that I am no longer working against myself as far as I know this. If someone else points out where I am working against myself I will always seriously take a re-look at that.

-Another failing that people do is give themselves specific goals to achieve without having a clear list of success principles and values they are committed to living by. DID WE GET THIS POINT? Make your list first of success principles. Then you can plan specific goals for yourself. The success you gear your life to may spell great failure in other areas of your life.

-Pay the price. Make the sacrifice. But also reap the reward. After crucifixion your cross should never be used again. Something like that.

-Failure is easy. Success is difficult. Mostly in life we have to live by success principles and commitments and not simply by luck.

There is so much more to this important life topic. You can search out other articles on success principles, or what makes for success in life. Don't be afraid to compare what others say to what we say here.

In the end you will have to decide. Only you can decide. We offer our success principles. Our method is to make a list of success principles and commit to living them in your life, evaluating what results for you.

Maybe being a small fish in a big pond is all you want from life. Again, maybe it isn't.

You could have your own pond if you try, but it would have to be smaller, and you would still have to share in your successes with others, wouldn't you?

Find the right size pond, with the right companions and values, and maybe you will have success in life?
