In this book, Carter-Scott takes you to a journey of a fulfilling life through the ten rules of success. These rules that contain universal truths to live by will empower you on your quest to realize your full potentials.
GiveSuccess means differently to each individual. In order to decipher your personal definition of success, you need to have a careful assessment of what comes to your mind when you think about success. Is success reaching the apex of your profession? Does it involve acquiring great wealth? Do you equate it with fame?
Success is only attainable to those who want it. Thus, actively wanting success is the first step towards attaining it. If you possess the courage and the conviction to say "I want it" then you will have the drive to achieve it.
To be fulfilled you must know yourself and honor your truth. You can only know yourself if you dig down into the layers of your imagined self. When you know yourself, it will lead you to the path that is essentially yours. Attune into your inner desires and from there you can plot your path towards success.
In order to achieve something, you need to set goals for yourself. Your journey to fulfillment is propelled forward by the goals you set along the way. Goals are clear, specific and it allows you to chart a particular course of action in order to make it happen. Goals keep you focused and motivated.
Life works with the concept of causality. Causality is the act of bringing something into existence through your own efforts. If you want to have a successful outcome, then you need to put in the work. Put in the action and do not rely on luck to give you what you desire.
When you invite opportunities into your life, the universe will cooperate and present various options to you. You need to keep your eyes and ears open in order to see the windows of opportunity around you. Keep your antenna open because opportunities exist and abound even on a daily basis.
On your path to success, there will always be disappointments and perceived failures along the way. You will often encounter obstacles and there is always the potential that you will fall, lose courage and eventually give up. Always remember that trials can offer you valuable lessons and insights in life.
Organization is a philosophy and system by which successful people run their lives. You need to manage your time, relationships, energy and finances because they are your most valuable assets. Handling them will enhance your ability to succeed.
Attainment of success brings changes to your life - changes to which you must adjust. Some changes will be positive, some may be challenging, some will be fun, and some may be tedious. Whatever the change may be, your task is to maintain your balance when your game board shifts.
Success is not a destination. As soon as you reach a level of success, you will then have another viewpoint where you can see another world of opportunities and challenges. There is always another turn you can take that will enrich your life and bring you an even deeper dimension of fulfillment.
Success is having lived a life worth living. Realize that the ultimate value in playing the game is not the realization of your goals. It lies in truly learning the lessons that life teaches you.
The success game is all about growing as a person. Growth is a process that never ends. As long as you are alive there will always be opportunities for growth and for new learning.
When you are playing the game, you are in action. When you experience the end of one phase of the game, you may experience fulfillment - and then you will realize that the process will begin all over again. Remember that winning is all in the experience.
