SHARING SOME PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS IN WORK AND IN LIFE

by Dr Andrew Eastcott and Craig Lock

Intro:
This piece (a joint collaboration in point form for ease of
reading) is written from the many deep and fascination discussions Andy
and I have had about our life purposes and what success means to
each of us. We are sharing these thoughts in the spirit of encouraging
others "out there" in cyberspace to think about their lives and what YOU
want out of your personal journey. Enjoy...

The first step on the stair-case to success is DEFINITENESS OF
PURPOSE. Develop a definite plan for its achievement, a chief
aim in life - a mission. Must be backed by ACTIVE FAITH ("faith
without works is dead"). Doing this produces positive results.
Persistent continuous action towards its attainment

Think of the person you intend to become and develop a clear
mental picture. Use autosuggestion or repeated affirmations.

Enlist the co-operation of others: Develop a "mastermind
alliance" with people who have a common aim...and with those
whose skills you do not possess.

Recognise the existence of God, Infinite Intelligence, Grand Designer, Great Spirit, Who gives order to the universe.

APPLIED FAITH

DEVELOP A PLEASING PERSONALITY (must be the only thing that
gets me out my frequent holes in the "deep smelly brown stuff").

DEVELOP THE HABIT OF LEARNING FROM DEFEAT:
"Every adversity carries the seed of an equivalent benefit."
- Napoleon Hill

Keep the mind open at all times for guidance from within.

Other keys are:

* Creative Vision

* Personal Initiave

* Accurate Thinking

* Self Discipline Your watchword must be PERSISTENCE.

* Concentration of Endeavour = definiteness of purpose.

* Enlist the Co-Operation of others - you can't do it alone!

* Enthusiasm

Good health - it's a habit of developing a "health consciousness"

* Budgeting time and money

* Applied wisdom The Golden Rule" applied: "Do unto others, as
you would have them do unto you." this is the basic principle in
ALL religions of the world. Develop the habit of going the extra
mile for others - service.

Your state of mind is everything, so take possession of your
mind.

TAKE ACTION every day towards your quest. Even small steps daily.

N.B: Your life journey should be built upon the principles of
truth and justice.

No matter your chosen field of endeavour,

HAPPY TRAVELLING down the roadway to success

Dr Andrew Eascott (Dr of microbiology) and Craig Lock
("Information and Inspiration Distributors", Incorrigible Encouragers and People-builders")

"Every man has his own destiny; the only imperative is to follow
it, no matter where it leads him."
- Henry Miller

"The task ahead of you can always be overcome by the power within
you...and the seemingly difficult path ahead of you is never as
steep with the great spirit that is within you."
- Craig Lock

"Our talents are our gifts from God... but what we do with them
are our gifts TO God."

"Apply the power of dynamic believing to set in action the great
forces of the subconscious."

"Belief is like the shot (or trigger) of the starters gun; that
unleashes the power of the subconscious, to make you a winner." -
Andy Eastcott 14 May 1994.

"Belief ignites the firepower of the subconscious.

"Belief ignites the rocket propellant of your subconscious mind,
which launches you to success."

"Belief is the yeat of the subconscious, that converts grapejuice
into high-octane ethanol."

"Belief is the catalyst of the subconscious that by alchemy
transforms lead into pure gold."

"Belief sparks the subconscious into a flame, which illuminates
your entire world."
- Dr Andrew Eastcott

"Become the person you are CAPABLE of being and have great fun doing it."
- Craig Lock

"Do not follow the well-beaten track of others towards success -
like the rainbow, it is often an illusion always just beyond
our reach. Make your own path and let your spirit blaze a
brilliant trail towards the pot of gold, the prize for the
gift - one that is uniquely you and YOUR successful journey
down the river of life."

"Success to others may be apparent in what you DO; but
significance, meaning and purpose lies, then reveals itself in
what you ARE and BECOME down the 'river of life' - how and the
spirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles,
the frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky
path-way of life's magical and mysterious journey. Light your
path brightly."
- craig Lock
