The
Right Philosophy For Success
Quote Of The Day

"Knowledge of our duties
is the most essential part of the
philosophy of life. If you escape duty
you avoid action. The world demands
results."
George W. Goethals

Why
does it always come back to the ageless truths?
Mostly because that which is truth is ageless and
truth doesn’t change with the wind. “The Right
Philosophy” can be defined by any number of phrases,
but it always comes back to the “golden rule.” It’s
re-phrased, but the essence is the same:
You
can have whatever you want in life if you will just
help others get what it is that they want.
This
isn’t some pie-in-the-sky-feel-good theory, this is
practical and will be strongly linked to your
success, no matter what field you’re in. It shows
that all aspects of success—business, personal,
etc.—are linked together and will all have an impact
on your financial success.
Everyone largely wants the same things in life; to
be happy, healthy, to have at least some amount of
prosperity, to be secure and have friends, to have a
happy family life, to have peace, and to have hope.
Abraham Maslow called it the Hierarchy of Needs:
our physiological needs are met, then we move on to
the need for safety, then to the need for love, then
on to the need for esteem, and finally what he
called “self-actualization.” Fancy words to say
that we all need the same things (the basic needs
met) before we can achieve success, however it is
that we define success.
No
matter what your religious beliefs are, the golden
rule is inherent in each religion; each just uses
different words. The philosophy that you need to
care for others (the “do unto others”) as you want
to be cared for yourself (“as you would have others
do unto you”) is at the heart of my phrase above—you
will find success when you consider the needs of
others as not only achievable, but something with
which you can help.
When you do this, you not only set yourself to be
assisted as you face needs in the future, but you
also show others (and yourself!) that your own
ambition hasn’t blinded you.
Remember: success doesn’t happen in the vacuum of
work only. It’s something that touches every aspect
of your life and the right philosophy will help get
you there!

It can be said that most
everyone is looking for balance and harmony
in their life since these are two of the
preconditions for happiness. We are all
trying to balance our work with our personal
life, our need for individuality with our
need for love and relationships, trying to
find harmony between our spiritual practice
and our need for money. This guide tells you
how you can find a better balance for
yourself. |
