The Starting Point of All Achievement

Combined with PMA (Positive Mental Attitude), Definiteness of Purpose, is the starting point to all worthwhile achievement.

On the last post I talked about PMA and the importance of applying all the principles to your life in order to sustain a Positive Mental Attitude.

According to the authors of Success through a Positive Mental Attitude,
when you combine the power of a PMA with Definiteness of Purpose there will be a natural tendency for you to use these 7 other success principles:

1. Personal Initiative
2. Self-discipline
3. Creative Vision
4. Organized Thinking
5. Controlled Attention (Concentration of Effort)
6. Budgeting of Time & Money
7. Enthusiasm

They also estimate that 98 out of every 100 people who are dissatisfied with with their world do not have a clear picture of the world they would like for themselves.

Think about all those people drifting through life.  They are struggling, unhappy, and they don't have a clear cut goal.

Do you know what your goals are?

Advantages

Heres a list of advantages that happen almost automatically:

1. Your subconscious mind begins to work under a universal law.
   "What the mind of man can conceive and believe-
   the mind of man can achieve with PMA."
   -By visualizing your end result your subconscious mind is affected by self-suggestion, so it helps get you there.
2. Because you now know what you want.  You will want to get on the right track and move into action.
3. Your work now becomes FUN!  You are more motivated now and may start budgeting your money and time.  The more you think about your goal, the more enthusiastic you become.
   Your desire then turns into a burning desire.
4. You are more aware of opportunities available to you that will help you achieve you goals.  Because you know what you want, you are more likely to recognize these opportunities.

Things to Remember

Here are a few things to keep in mind, so that you don't get overwhelmed on this subject.

• You have Success born in you.
  -We each have talents that can help us be successful if we take the time to develop them. Which brings me to the next point.
• Everyone has many talents that can help them over come their specific problems.
  -We all have our own barriers we have to break through and talents that can help us do just that.
• Everyone reacts to  motivating symbols through self-suggestion.
  -The most effective tactic  is using a self-motivator that is deliberately memorized in order to jump from the subconscious to the conscious in a time of need.

What's the Formula?

As you may have guessed I already mentioned it under the advantages.  The Universal Law:

"What the mind of man can conceive and believe--the mind of man can achieve with PMA."
