Success Secrets; HABITS

Keys to Success 

Introduction 

Being successful is something we all strive for, but what does it really take to achieve it? Success means different things to different people, so it's important to find what works for you. After spending countless hours listening to experts and learning from their experiences, I've realized that there's something missing.

 Find Your Niche 

One of the most important things I've learned is that successful people are paid well for what they do. They have found their niche in the marketplace, which means they have discovered what they are really good at. This is how they became wealthy in some cases. It's not to say that their advice isn't helpful or won't benefit many people, because it definitely can. Having a system or routine that motivates you to become a better person is a great starting point for success.

Money Matters 

Why is money so important? Well, think about it this way. If you want to make a difference in the world, you need money. People who are starving and suffering don't have the luxury to care about anything else. If their basic needs aren't met, it's hard to convince them to believe or do anything. Money is the key to providing food, shelter, and other necessities. Whether you earn it yourself or someone else provides it, money is essential if you want to make a positive impact on the world.

It's a personal journey

Success is a personal journey that requires finding your niche and having the means to make a difference. While it's important to have motivation and a system in place, money plays a crucial role in achieving your goals. So, if you want to be of the essence to the world, remember that the pursuit of money is a must.

 

I have been struggling for a long time with what it really takes to be successful.  Success is something that has a different meaning to different people therefore whatever that may mean to you what I have come up with will undoubtedly work in all cases. I have read and listened to hundreds of hours of stories from many speakers, trainers, and teachers and I have found that something is missing.

One of the most profound things that I have learned is that all of them are paid extremely well to do what they do and that is their niche in the marketplace.  That is what they do, that is what they have found to work for them and that is how they became in some cases extremely wealthy.  Now, mind you I am not saying that their material is not good and that it will help a lot of people and in some cases thousands.  It is better to have something to start and get you going, some system, some routine, something that motivates you to take the step towards being a better person to yourself, your family, and the world around you.  Because the only way you can make a difference is to have money. The people dying of hunger all around the round world don't care about anything and there is nothing you can convince them to do or to believe if their bellies are not full and you can only do that with money.  Either you own or someone else but it can only be done with money. Therefore, if you want to be of the essence to the world the pursuit of money is a must.

So one of the things that recur in all the training and teaching is that you have to break bad habits and exchange them for good habits.  They describe a habit as being something you do that you do not realize you are doing. In most cases, if you are trying to break that specific habit at some time after you have done it or a lot of times while you are doing it you realize that you have been tricked again by that habit.  Now we all have come to the consensus that it is the mind that directs our habits and thus it must be a mind trick that is taking place.

So what is it with habits?  I have come to the conclusion that habits should not be a part of an acceptable action in your life at all. It should be banned because there are no good or bad habits.  If habits are something you do unconsciously then it is bad.  We want to have control at all times and the only way to do that is to do everything consciously.  So unconsciously we need to eradicate all habits and force our unconscious mind to send everything for vetting to our conscious mind, so we can make a proper decision about whatever action we are going to take next.  It has to be planned and conscious at all times.

Let us take a habitual smoker.  They don't realize they lit up a cigarette until moments after they lit it up and in some cases only at the end of the day did they realize that they smoked a pack.  They realize this when they look for one more and realize the pack they bought in the morning has finished. If this person was consciously making the decision to smoke and was able to weigh the risk they would not lite up in the first place because they were able to evaluate the action and make a decision about it. Because this did not happen they end up with cigarettes lit and smoking them totally unconscious.  This would be what we consider habit. So now let us look at the opposite. You want to make saving 10% off everything earn a habit.

How would you do that using the contemporary teaching of making something good a habit?  Again let us look at the smoker, and we agree that he has a habit because he does it totally without knowing almost like a reflex.  So you are going to take out 10% of your salary at the end of the month and save it unknowingly? And at the end of the year, you suddenly realize that wow I have saved 10% of my salary every month and I did not even realize it?  No this just does not seem to me to be a possibility.

If you are going to save every month it has to be a conscious effort. It has to be an effort fueled by something that is bigger, and more urgent than spending that money on something else. Therefore, it cannot be a habit.  So getting into good habits does not exist. Bad habits do.  Doing things that are bad for your health is the most common, but also doing things that will make you remain broke, not advance in your carrier, and not be a good father or good husband or wife.  Those things can be habitual.  But to break that you will have to consciously find ways to do good things.  And it is how our minds are wired that causes us to do those things that harm us but more so it is the programming we have received from small that has formed the basis of our bad habits.  For the same reason, some people also have positive programming and these are the people that are always better off from the rest.

This theory is thought in rich dad poor dad by Robert who points to the fact that the programming you are brought up with will affect your financial management and success.  This is because certain habits form in the home and are taken along automatically by the children.  Kiyosaki was able to tell the difference between the two types of habits, and then he wrote a book about it.  However, was it really a habit or was it the constant hard conscious application of what he had learned to be applied consciously to everything he did.  Did you look at every dollar twice before he spent and then decide what would be the best way to spend it taking into consideration the wealth teachings he had? Or did he without thinking do the right thing or invest the money in the right way.  I do not believe that such a habit can exist.

Dan Lok teaches the bucket system.  You can go to the bank and set up accounts where a part of your money goes into the expenses account and the other goes in the investment account and yet another into the fun account etc.  But when you enter the bank even after you have done it 500 hundred times is it the same as driving a car you may be driving for 30 minutes and then suddenly realize that you passed several buildings or towns without even noticing them all the while steering the car, changing lanes, increasing and decreasing speed totally unconscious or will you have to apply the same discipline consciously over and over each time you go to the bank.  I think not. I believe that there is no correlation between what you can achieve by habit and what you must apply conscious thinking to.   Eating can be done habitually.  It has happened many times to me.  I say to myself I am going to fast tomorrow and it is after I have eaten in the morning I remember that I was going to fast.  Then I say ok I will start from now until the other day and it may well be that in the evening I have still had a snack and did not even realize I said I was going to fast.  Thus this is habitual.
Now no matter how many times I fast in order to keep it up I must apply some conscious effort to it or else it will not work.

No matter how hard I try, however, success just by applying the methods that are preached just does not seem to work or seems to be missing something crucial.

I have been exposed throughout my life to inspirations about many subjects that sometimes have blown me off my feet.  More about those in a later chapter.  I have been pondering the things that make the Universe click since young and have now well over 40 years in my secret part of the world following the developments that have been taking place and the discovery that man is making.

I have suspected all my life that there must be some real existence of forces that are smaller than the atom but that play a major role in our existence.  When I heard about dark matter I was not surprised.  Actually, I simply went waow, so they finally are figuring it out.  I can tell them now.  When the technology of observing dark matters becomes more developed the mind of many scientists that have been advocating that they know will have to go back to kindergarten for what they will discover will literally blow their minds. It is also the same for those people that are slowly pondering the existence of Parallel Universes and the existence of other Universes.  There are also those that advocate the existence of other dimensions.

The reason people don't act when they should, is that most people believe they will not die even though they see people dying around them every day, and they do not know anyone that has been here for a couple hundred years.  As soon as a person really comes to grips that the time they have on this planet is limited and counted they will change their attitude towards time.  As soon as they realize that this is the only real commodity they have then they will treat it as value.
So my first line is "on the day you were born you were allotted a finite amount of time on this planet.  This time cannot be replaced by anything else but if you manage it properly you can use it to achieve great things.  There is another secret involved here and that is that the time you have here can be amplified so you can have more of it or better said more benefit from it. 


The question now is what is the amplification process and how it really work.

In the introduction, we learned that everything that exists contains a certain unit of time in it that determines its value. An intricate piece of jewelry containing the same amount of gold and the same amount of precious stones as a simple one will cost a lot more because of the amount of time that was expended to build it.  Thus time has a value that is always present in anything that exists physically.

Therefore, the following equation needs to be considered:

Time Units Invested to purchase something  = Something Purchased 

We are not considering here that the same Item can be purchased for cheaper or more expensive, lower or better quality. The bottom line is that whatever that thing is time has been put into it to create it.

In order to have created whatever that thing was that was purchased it required several and sometimes hundreds of people put the time in different amounts to create it.  Again thinking of the jewelry above the ore was collected from the ground somewhere by one group of people, then melted by another group, and transported still by another group.  Yet another group collected the precious stones and followed their successive process.  The tools that were used were also created by people who put time into them in another completely independent process. All of these collective pieces of time finally led to the creation of every item that exists. What this means is that all of the above equals Something Purchased.

The time you traded for that thing equals all of the collective times it took to create it. In essence, we are always purchasing time. Now here is where it becomes interesting.  If we sell that thing for twice whatever we purchased it for
