"We share what we know, so that others may grow." * HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL - IN WORK AND IN LIFE by Craig Lock Dream big dreams. Have a goal and plan to achieve. Have your goals in line with your principles, totally in alignment with your highest life values Love doing what you do. Listen to the advice of your spouse/partner. Seek help from those whose skills you don't have. Believe you are a winner, or one who CAN be. Work smarter, not necessarily harder. Fly with the eagles, don't scratch with the turkeys. Be prepared to take calculated risks. Be aware that opportunities are always around (and are often disuised as problems!) Promote your product well. Satisfy customers needs completely. Be decisive, determined and self-disciplined. Encourage others constantly. N.B: Act and live with utmost integrity at all times. Have a strong belief in yourself. Have an even stronger belief in God, a Higher Power, a Supreme Being...or whatever God, Spirit means to you personally. P.S: The further I travel in my journey down the "river of life", I just see the spiritual aspect as a different (and higher) dimension to the practical psychological principles (which help us in our everyday living); but they are just two perspectives to view life. The same principles align perfectly in my understanding. The writer tries to blend the psychological and spiritual approaches in his various writings in as simple and harmoniously a way as possible. "Become the person you are CAPABLE of being... and ALL the person God, Our Creator, the Ultimate Source, the very "Ground of our Being" intended us to become." "Success to others may be apparent in what you DO; but significance, meaning and purpose lies, then reveals itself in what you ARE and BECOME down the 'river of life' - how and the spirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles, the frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky path-way of life's magical and mysterious journey. "Light your path brightly."
