First Step:

The first step to success is to find out the thing you love to do, then do it. Success is in loving your work.

Although, if a man is a psychiatrist, it is not adequate for him to get a diploma and place it on the wall; he must keep up with the times, attend conventions, and continue studying the mind and its workings. The successful psychiatrist visits clinics and reads the latest scientific articles.

In other words, he is informed in the most advanced methods of alleviating human suffering. The successful psychiatrist or doctor must have the interest of his patients at heart.

Second Step:

The second step to success is to specialize in some particular branch of work and know more about it than anyone else.

For example, if a young man chooses chemistry as his profession, he should concentrate on one of the many branches in this field. He should give all of his time and attention to his chosen specialty. He should become sufficiently enthusiastic to try to know all there is available about his field; if possible, he should know more than anyone else. The young man should become ardently interested in his work and should desire to serve the world.

Man’s motive must be greater, nobler, and more altruistic. He must serve others, thereby casting his bread upon the waters.

Third Step:

The third step is the most important one. You must be sure that the thing you want to do does not redound to your success only.

Your desire must not be selfish; it must benefit humanity.

The path of a complete circuit must be formed. In other words, your idea must go forth with the purpose of blessing or serving the world. It will then come back to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over. If it is to benefit yourself exclusively, the circle or complete circuit is not formed, and you may experience a short circuit in your life which may consist of limitation or sickness.

What we think and feel, we create. We create what we believe. Even though a man may have accumulated a fortune fraudulently, he is not successful. There is no success without peace of mind. What good is man’s accumulated wealth if he cannot sleep nights, is sick or has a guilt complex?

I couldn’t stop myself from sharing this beautiful excerpt from the book “The Power of Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy”. I’m currently re-reading this book after 5 years to be precise. Thanks to my brother. He owns it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you find it helpful. Say Hi 👋 Twitter Instagram. I’d love to connect.

Your Friend,
