Success is a STATE OF MIND... by R. Evensen

Success is a state of mind.

Can you be rich with none or little money: YES.
Can you be poor even if you are loaded with money: YES

Success is only a state of mind. You need to clarify your goals and take massive action. And even if you do not reach all your goals you do not fail as long as you learned something along the way.

Let me give you a brief example of a misunderstood success.

John Belushi.
World famous comedian and musician. He devoted his life to make people laugh. He made millions of dollars. He formed the famous Blues Brothers. Was he successful ? Many people would say a clear YES.......But NO the man committed suicide and that is what I call FAILURE. What did go wrong....? He forgot one important person, HIM SELF. He gave so much to others that he forgot to please himself. He sat many goals in life and achieved many of them. He created laughter, but he was sad inside, he created success, but carried an internal failure. He was RICH on dollars, but POOR when it came to enjoy the life he could have had.

Why am I writing this ?

Just to show you all that the thing you need to do in life in order to succeed is through determination, goal setting and massive action. If you learn something along the way, YOU NEVER FAIL. Edison tried more than 1000 times before he made the light bulb give light.

Imagine a child learning to walk. He/she fells down on attempt one and two. Would the child conclude that he/she was NOT a walker and give up learning. NO he/she tries again. How many times should you try ? The answer is simple: AS MANY AS IT TAKES.

Determine your goals.
Write them down.
Tell others about them (burn bridges)
Read them to yourself twice a day.

and repeat these words to yourself EVERY DAY:

NOW I am the VOICE.
I will LEAD, not follow.
I will BELIEVE, not doubt.
I will CREATE, not destroy.
I am a force for GOOD.
I AM A LEADER.
Defy the ODDS.
Set a new STANDARD.
STEP UP, STEP UP, STEP UP.

See your self succeed, taste the future. Imagine you are already there. You can do whatever you set your mind to.


Most people desire wealth, but few have the proper plan and the burning desire that the road is covered with.

Set a new standard. STEP UP to the challenge.

Kind regards
Rune Evensen
