D. Paul, you've had the privilege of studying at the feet of many great teachers over the years, so what would your advice be on how to live a successful, contented and satisfying life? Well you're absolutely right. I've indeed been privileged to learn from some of the best teachers in the world in the field of behavior modification, personal development and motivation.
I've worked with and learnt from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of "The Power of Positive Thinking" who endorsed my first book "Success Is Simple" on the cover, and wrote the forward to my second book "The Science of Selling." I was associated with Earl Nightingale, the dean of personal motivation for several years and gained a whole lot of knowledge from his wonderful teachings.
Dr. Maxwell Maltz, author of the definitive book on self-image psychology "Psycho-Cybernetics" gave me a great understanding of the vital importance of having a good self-image. Dr. Denis Waitley, bestselling author of a whole slew of books like "The Psychology of Winning", "The Winner's Edge" and "Being Your Best", to name a few gave me new insights into human behavior.
I did my formal studies at The University of Metaphysics where I studied with the president and founder Dr. Paul Masters, eventually obtaining my doctorate in Metaphysical Science, which gave me a solid base relative to matters spiritual. There have been others too, but the ones mentioned here today are the main ones.
So D. Paul, with all of this knowledge gained over the years from so many great teachers, can you distill the essence of what you learnt as it relates to becoming successful in life? Yes I can, and it's all summed up in the title of today's article, "Believe it, see it, do it!"
So what exactly does that mean D. Paul, "believe it, see it, do it?" Well, number one, you must believe in yourself and your ability to do great things in life. You must have high self-esteem and thus believe implicitly that you can indeed achieve the goals and objectives you've drawn up for all areas of your life. Number two, you need to vividly imagine yourself as having already achieved your goals. In other words, see yourself in your mind's eye exactly where you want to be. And finally, number three, you need to daily do whatever needs to be done to bring your goals to fruition, make them a reality in your life. So, there you have it, a simple formula which is guaranteed to produce success in your life, across the board -- believe it, see it, do it!
