Universal Laws for Success

Universal Laws for Success: More to come.
Doing What Works
If you watch closely, you can see successful people exercising these laws everyday. In fact, one way to be successful is to do just that: find a successful person you admire, watch carefully, observe what works, and do it as well.
While there are no true “laws” of success, and there are many paths to achievement, you “can’t get to Carnegie Hall without lots of practice.”
Here are ways success comes about.
The Law of Experience
Success comes from good judgment; good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment. The more ‘at bats’ you get, the more experience you get, the more successful you can be.
The Law of Hunger
In the words of motivational speaker Les Brown, in order to be successful, “you have to be huuuuuuuuungrrry!” You have to want it so bad that you can taste it. You have to want it so bad that you are willing to pay the price to get it.
The Law of Balance
While you’re paying the price for success, it’s crucial to keep your life in balance. No one who is a success in their chosen profession and a failure in their personal life is a success.
The Law of Small Successes
Many people never even get started on the road to success because they have convinced themselves that the task is too big. This is a myth that stops many people. Even the most gargantuan of tasks are accomplished one action at a time: One action at a time. Simply break your large task into smaller, more manageable tasks, and celebrate each small success.

I am a big believer in the idea of chunking things into smaller pieces and completing them.

Timeless and insightful wisdom.
I love the way Les Brown says “you have to be huuuungry!” – I could hear his voice in my head as I read your post.
All the best,

That was great. It is so true I just have never seen it broken up in such a great way. I really do think that the hunger is so true and the fact that people already think that the task is too great that still hits me sometimes.
Thank you, Mesha:) -
Lynn,

hi Lynn,
I love the Laws of Success. Indeed, the one which I have adopted well is Persistence, persistent action has to create SUCCESS. In life, business, and relationships.
It is also the PRICE of Success. And many seem to miss that.

If I follow your advice and find a successful person that I admire, watch what they do, then do it as well, I might die. I admire Dr. Hogan, but it I tried to do a fraction of what he does it would damn near kill me.

Hi Lynn,
Good points. I think the most important one that you posted was the law of small successes. I know if I don’t chunk things down I get depressed and never take action.
Small baby steps will get us there quicker than we think.
