Are You Begging or Attracting Success?

"Learn to hide your need and show your skill." — Jim Rohn.

There is a school of thought that believe asking is part of the process to greater achievement. While I cannot wholeheartedly disclaim this, I succumb to the school of thought who believes in attracting success rather than asking for it. It all starts from our state of mind. Wayne Dyer says “Thoughts are mental energy; they're the currency that you have to attract what you desire. Learn to stop spending that currency on thoughts you don't want”.

“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become” says Jim Rohn. The question is who are you or who are you becoming? You cannot cheat on nature; you will always have in your life people like you, so also you will be attracting into your live what you work towards not what you ask. The chances of having what you ask are thin, while the chances of having what you attract are guaranteed. Imelda Staunton believes “Chaotic people often have chaotic lives, and I think they create that. But if you try and have an inner peace and a positive attitude, I think you attract that.”

Success start with being the best in whatever you are good at, even if you have to give it out for free. Such act is like a post dated check; very soon you will cash it. Did you know why we are afraid of wild animals? It’s because they are well known for what they are good at, nothing more. And no one ever says anything about them than that. It is still same Wayne Dyer that proclaims that “Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do.”
