Those of you that follow my blog's, writings or even visit my website (suggested reading list) will know one thing about me relatively quickly: I believe in the power of Jesus Christ and that through him all things are possible. But I know that not everyone espouses that belief, although many believe in a power that drives their personal success. There are 1000's of books, tapes, and "gurus" on the subject of living a successful life, whatever you believe that to be.
From Napolean Hill, to Zig Ziglar, to Anthony Robbins, to Joel Osteen, Robert Schuler, Dr Peale, and many others have all relayed their their step-by-step plans to achieving success in this life, but I wonder what is considered important factors to the majority of us that work hard everyday earning a living for our familiies, or maintaining a lifestyle. I am not belittling the work that the previous named authors and speakers have done, as they work or worked hard all of their lives and acheived recognition for their work in their fields.
What I would like is to open this conversation to those of you-both believers and non-as to what you think the top 3 attributes are that sets the atmosphere for personal success. Let me quantify, I am not asking your opinion of "what is success"? Some believe that success is financial, while others feel that it is relational, while many also believe it is spiritual, so my focus is not on what you think, feel, or believe the achievement is, rather than asking what you feel are the three most important attributes to achieving ones personal definition of success.
Why am I asking? The answer is two-fold: first personal education and growth, as I study different beliefs and philosophies. I can study the books of many of the greats over the years, but do others put into practice what is taught? If so, what is it that seems to make the most significant difference in ones life.
Secondly, in the real estate world, this is such an important topic to new agents as well as seasoned agents. It is by no means exclusive to the real estate industry, but important to everyone on this planet who wishes for more. I hope that the conversation that ensues will open the door to helping anyone who takes the time to read.
In the current econmic climate around the world, it is so vitally important to hold onto hope for a better life. Your comments, including your three top points, may spark a change in one person who in turn will change the world.
I thank you in advance for your participation.
