Now, before you begin reading any further, there is one concept you must understand. My friend, you must learn how to follow your heart. The best way to follow your heart is staying true to yourself to where you want to go, why you want to go there, and how you want to make it happen. Your purpose in anything must be thought up within your heart and soul first, before it can be realized within your reality.

The Source: The foundational belief is that life is not yours, it’s only yours to manage. If you manage life well, you get what you want and you receive a more tranquil life. The only way to manage life well is to improve all areas of your life, and that includes spending most of your time adding value and providing useful service to others. You see, when you improve all areas of your life, you maintain more, and when you provide a need for others, you receive more.

Remember that you are the controller of your being, and you decide what you take out of this book to improve your life forever. So here is your first essential exercise, Exercise Number One: For 21 days, see only the good in others. And ask yourself each day: what positive changes can I contribute to this world? Realize that with a better perspective towards others, you can accomplish anything. With compassion, you can make the world a better place. With love, you can make other people live a life you never had. The reason why you picked up this book is to learn success. Your first step to success starts with the habit of the heart.

Remember that life is not yours—it’s yours to manage. The world will never give you eternal peace. The source of life is within you, your harmony of mind, body, and soul. Harmony is your eternal peace. The world is full of confusion and fear. Inner peace removes confusion and fear since confusion and fear start within the mind, and slowly move their way to your body and soul. When you cultivate a better mind, body, and soul, you eventually develop a better inner life perspective. This increases productivity and gives you stronger determination to enhance value for yourself and for the rest of the world, thus creating any result you desire from life.

“People only remember the legacy you leave behind. When you leave this world, you will only be remembered by what you did.”

Success Awareness: The Secret of Life

Life is a dojo. You work hard to make a living, you work hard to make life better, and you work hard to take care of the people you love. There may be times in life where you want to give up, but never give up on where you want to go. You may have stopped working and lost it all, or you may have overworked yourself and given up. But, my friend, life is your dojo, and you have to work hard to stay in control of your life.

Control starts within your mind. Your mind is separated into two parts: your thinking mind and your autopilot mind. The conscious mind is your thinking mind or who you think you are, and your subconscious mind is your autopilot mind that handles all your habits, emotions, and the life within your body. Did you know an average person is 90 percent unaware each day, thinking on autopilot within his/her subconscious mind? They are unaware because they do the same unconscious activities each day by habit. This is why they say an average person only uses 10 percent of their brain’s potential since only during 10 percent of the day is one fully aware and not acting on habit. When you practice “success awareness” within your everyday life, you will create more brain potential and a better reality outside of yourself.

Success awareness is the realization that you can create your ideal life through creating new habits. It is the curiosity to focus on what truly matters to you, allowing you to get outside of your comfort zone and to relax and take control over your attention. When this happens, this takes a massive load off your subconscious mind to open up to more speed, intelligence, and clarity. The idea is that you can utilize the subconscious mind to work for you rather than against you since it stores your every memory, thought, and emotion. When you work in harmony with your subconscious mind, you can allow it to become your search engine in life—while your job is to guide yourself to where you want to go through habits.

Success is a journey, and the key to having an amazing life is through focused attention towards the ideal success you desire. Success awareness is also knowing who you truly are, what you truly have, and what you truly want. The only way to develop success awareness is through creating more positive habits and behaviors. Positive behaviors are the positive actions that you tackle each day to reach a specific goal or to improve a certain area of your life. When you utilize positive behaviors combined with many hours of repetition, you create intentional habits, and intentional habits are what genuinely guide you to success. Your success is to cultivate better consciously directed habits to create a highly developed, search-optimized mind, which helps you find the life you want. Hence, success awareness is your main mission in life because you gradually train your mind to seek, find, and act. That is the secret and truth to having a plentiful life.

Your awareness in life shouldn’t be placed on one aspect of your life alone like money, work, family, or happiness. Your success-fulfilled life begins with the awareness of every aspect of your life. These aspects include health, wealth, love, and happiness, which come together as your life’s journey or purpose. Health is the improvement of your thoughts and body, wealth is the improvement of your work and knowledge, love is the improvement of your relationships, and happiness is the improvement of your emotions and inner spirit. It is the improvement of your health, wealth, relationships, and happiness that give you more feelings of achievement and a better life. These are the four pillars of life, and when combined with purpose—which is goal achievement towards the four pillars while sticking to a well-defined mission in life and a good set of values—you create the Five Pillars of life. The Five Pillars of life is where you should focus because a negative awareness of the Five Pillars slowly kills the life you have, while success awareness around the Five Pillars gradually improves the life you have.

We can conclude that your purpose in life is to improve your habits of health, wealth, love, and happiness in order to achieve your ideal life. We all...
