SHARING SOME PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS IN WORK AND IN LIFEn nby Dr Andrew Eastcott and Craig Lockn
Intro:
This piece (a joint collaboration in point form for ease ofnreading) is written from the many deep and fascination discussions Andynand I have had about our life purposes and what success means toneach of us. We are sharing these thoughts in the spirit of encouraging nothers "out there" in cyberspace to think about their lives and what YOU nwant out of your personal jou
ey. Enjoy...

The first step on the stair-case to success is DEFINITENESS OFnPURPOSE. Develop a definite plan for its achievement, a chiefnaim in life - a mission. Must be backed by ACTIVE FAITH ("faithnwithout works is dead"). Doing this produces positive results.
Persistent continuous action towards its attainmentn
Think of the person you intend to become and develop a clea
mental picture. Use autosuggestion or repeated affirmations.

Enlist the co-operation of others: Develop a "mastermindnalliance" with people who have a common aim...and with thosenwhose skills you do not possess.

Recognise the existence of God, Infinite Intelligence, Grand Designer, Great Spirit, Who gives order to the universe.

APPLIED FAITH

DEVELOP A PLEASING PERSONALITY (must be the only thing that ngets me out my frequent holes in the "deep smelly brown stuff").

DEVELOP THE HABIT OF LEARNING FROM DEFEAT:
"Every adversity carries the seed of an equivalent benefit." n- Napoleon Hilln
Keep the mind open at all times for guidance from within.

Other keys are:n n* Creative Visionn n* Personal Initiaven n* Accurate Thinkingn n* Self Discipline Your watchword must be PERSISTENCE.n n* Concentration of Endeavour = definiteness of purpose.n n* Enlist the Co-Operation of others - you can't do it alone!n n* Enthusiasmn
Good health - it's a habit of developing a "health consciousness"n n* Budgeting time and moneyn n* Applied wisdom The Golden Rule" applied: "Do unto others, asnyou would have them do unto you." this is the basic principle i

ALL religions of the world. Develop the habit of going the extranmile for others - service.

Your state of mind is everything, so take possession of you
mind.

TAKE ACTION every day towards your quest. Even small steps daily.

N.B: Your life jou
ey should be built upon the principles ofntruth and justice.

No matter your chosen field of endeavour,

HAPPY TRAVELLING down the roadway to successn

"Every man has his own destiny; the only imperative is to follow nit, no matter where it leads him." n - Henry Miller n
"The task ahead of you can always be overcome by the power within nyou...and the seemingly difficult path ahead of you is never as nsteep with the great spirit that is within you." n- Craig Lock n
"Our talents are our gifts from God... but what we do with them nare our gifts TO God." n
"Apply the power of dynamic believing to set in action the greatnforces of the subconscious."

"Belief is like the shot (or trigger) of the starters gun; thatnunleashes the power of the subconscious, to make you a winner." -
Andy Eastcott 14 May 1994.

"Belief ignites the firepower of the subconscious.

"Belief ignites the rocket propellant of your subconscious mind,nwhich launches you to success."

"Belief is the yeat of the subconscious, that converts grapejuiceninto high-octane ethanol."

"Belief is the catalyst of the subconscious that by alchemyntransforms lead into pure gold."

"Belief sparks the subconscious into a flame, which illuminatesnyour entire world." n - Dr Andrew Eastcott n
"Become the person you are CAPABLE of being and have great fun doing it."n- Craig Lock

"Do not follow the well-beaten track of others towards success -nlike the rainbow, it is often an illusion always just beyondnour reach. Make your own path and let your spirit blaze anbrilliant trail towards the pot of gold, the prize for thengift - one that is uniquely you and YOUR successful jou
eyndown the river of life."

"Success to others may be apparent in what you DO; but nsignificance, meaning and purpose lies, then reveals itself in nwhat you ARE and BECOME down the 'river of life' - how and the nspirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles, nthe frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky npath-way of life's magical and mysterious jou
ey. Light your npath brightly." n- craig Lock
