How to NOT achieve Success

This morning, I found myself sitting on our dining table, staring at the blank walls, thinking what should I do first, where do I start?  I wanted to start my day doing things that would contribute to my success.

So I gather my "Beyond Freedom" dvd to watch it, then listened to the cd afterwards.  After that, I saw one video posted by Patric Chan about the 3 things that do not exist if u want to achieve success.

He stated that:

There is NO such thing as TRY
If you want to be successful, there are only two options to choose from, it's either you DO it or you DO NOT.  If you have a burning desire to achieve your goals, you have to do all the things no matter what, just to achieve it.  Just like the saying, "if there is a will, there is a way."  You don't buy excuses for yourself.  You have to go out of your box and DO what you have to do to achieve the success you really wanted.  You don't try, it's either you are in or you are out.  It is as simple as that.


There is NO such thing as RIGHT TIMING
Often people tell themselves they want to change their lives for the better.  They want to retire from their jobs and establish their own  business.  But when you ask them, when are they going to do it, they will tell you, it's not the right time yet because they don't have the resources to start their own business .  Well, if it's not yet now, when is the right time?  If you waited a month or a year before you start pulling your sleeves, what do you think would have happened on that span of time, sitting on your couch and watching those people around you achieve their goals in life? If you truly want to be successful, you have to act now.  You don't wait for the right timing cause there is none. 


There is NO such thing as ONE SIZE FITS ALL
Achieving success is a continuous process.  It's not because you have read hundreds of books on success or attended hundreds of mind-boggling seminars, you can stop from there. It is not enough.   To be successful, you have to gather more materials, you have to read more books, you have to listen to audio cds on gaining success, and you have to join like-minded people like you.  Being around successful people makes you feel successful, too.  But then, you have to apply what you have learned to your everyday life.
