Success - 3 Keys to Taking Control of Your Thoughts

Your thoughts are a major part of the success that you have in your life. If you have thoughts that tell you that you can't succeed then you will find it very difficult to succeed at anything. However, if you have thoughts that assist you in your success then you will have much more success. Here are 3 keys to help you take control of your thoughts so you can succeed at whatever you put your hand to.

1. Become aware of what your thoughts are.

Do you know what kind of thoughts you have during the day or do your thoughts just happen without you ever knowing what is going on? If you start paying attention to what you are thinking you will find out that you may not be thinking things that will help you. Start monitoring what you are thinking and rate your thoughts on how much they either help you succeed or hinder you to succeed.

2. Snap your thoughts away.

One of the best ways to change your thought patterns is by snapping them away with a rubber band. I learned this from a book called 'The One Minute Millionaire'. Put a rubber band around your wrist. Every time that you realize you are thinking something that is negative snap the rubber band. You may be a bit sore for a while but before long you will stop thinking limiting thoughts because you don't want to snap that rubber band any more.

3. Replace your thoughts.

The moment you realize that you are thinking about something that will hinder your success, immediately start to think about ways to become successful. You have to train your mind to think the way you want it to. This may take a few weeks but you will begin to see the results of it in your life very soon.

Success - How to Live a Life of Wealth

I have met so many people that want to live a life of wealth but don't actually know what that is. You may think that a life of wealth means to have more money than you know what to do with but that is not a complete answer. A wealthy life is one that encompasses every aspect of life.

You may know someone that is very rich but are totally unhappy. You may find it hard to believe that someone with a lot of money can not be happy. You may think that having money is the answer to happiness but it's not. For you to have true wealth you must be wealthy in all areas of your life.

If you want to be wealthy the first thing that you need to do is define what wealth is to you. This includes your finances, family, health, business, work, and so on. If you are able to reach all the things that you have listed as successes in these areas you will find true wealth. The reason why most people never reach true wealth is because they search after one thing which is usually money. In reality, money is only a part of wealth.

Strive to keep a balance in the areas of your life that you want to be successful in and you will find that wealth is yours. Learn from people that have gone down that path that you are endeavouring to go down. The more advice and wisdom that you can learn from someone who has true wealth that faster you will be able to obtain it in your own life.
