Affirmation for April 1, 2014: How to be Successful

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.- Henry David ThoreauThought of the day:You may think that today's affirmation is counterintuitive at first-- don't successful people seek success?But what Mr. Thoreau may be really saying is those who are so passionate about their own hobbies or professions, who love what they do and are always striving to do it better, who are simply consumed with what they're already doing-- these people are the ones to whom success may just come naturally.So what can we learn from this? If you are seeking an abstract version of success, if you are constantly comparing yourself to others, or if you are focused on what success can get you instead of how to achieve it, take a moment to look inwards. What do you enjoy? What are you good at? What road are you on right now that could be leading you to your dreams or misleading you to distraction?Presence of mind and knowledge of self may be where you want to redirect your energy. Chase what's real.Thrive today!TeamDS
