SUCCESS can pull on you in such a way that everything else is tasteless. For some, the pull is so addictive that they keep chasing it even after they get success.

However, most people end up in life disappoint­ed and dishearten­ed because they do not achieve the kind of success they wish for.

The majority drift along in life with lot of aspiration­s but without any direction. They chase ephemeral joys – name, fame, glamour, power and wealth – but do not have any clue to where they are heading.

Without any strong purpose, their boat of life seems to be lost in among the waves and storms of the turbulent ocean of life.

The reason why humanity is leading such a hollow existence is that the rudder with which they steer their course has come loose.

The rudder of our lives is our thoughts. At the root of every success is a high-quality thought that is sustained and implemente­d in action.

Determined thoughts based on a strong purpose, propels our actions to fulfil that purpose and thus bring success.

The most important effect of thoughts is that they have the power to materialis­e into physical achievemen­ts and circumstan­ces, all according to our aspiration­s.

To quote an example, if you repeatedly have a negative thought or fear that you may develop a particular disease, you will find that the disease has actually started manifestin­g in you.

So this is the power of the mind over matter. You can create wonders through your enthusiasm to plant newness in every step and victory in every thought.

Create a mindset that naturally holds onto positive thoughts and refuses negative thoughts. Then you become a perfect receptacle for lady luck to fill you.

“You easily attract success through your determinat­ion to never forget who you are and what you value!”
