Key to success

The key to success is not in some particular technique, program, ritual or idea. The key to your success is you, and what you do.

There are many great people, products, services, values and philosophies that can be extremely helpful. Yet any authentic, fulfilling success you enjoy will come largely from you.

Though you are highly deserving, success in life is not a foregone conclusion. However, you are fortunate to have the opportunity and the ability to make it happen.

If you wish to be successful, then give the best of yourself to that success. The extent of your success flows directly from the size of your commitment.

Be willing to step up and take full and continuing responsibility for your success. That's what will make it happen.

Nothing will work to bring you success unless you work to bring about that success. Choose a goal that truly means something, do the work, and enjoy all the success you will surely create.
