What is the difference between success and failure?

This is a question that man has talked about for 100s of years. Every one seems to have a different opinion on what success really is. On the other hand I think we can all agree on what failure is. I think for the most part thats because we have trained ourselves to see failure instead of looking for success. There is something in the brain that automatically sees what we have train it to see. Just like when you get a new car. All of the sudden you see that car everywhere you go. What happened? Did everyone buy the same car at once and start driving it the same day? The truth is people have alway driven that car around, you just did not see it because you had no interest in it. Just the same it was always there in front of your eyes. The same is true for whatever you bring in you life be it success or failure happiness or sadness.

A good way to put it is "you get focused on the bugs on windshield instead of the destination." It's so east for us to look at all the carp that going on in our lives that we forget what we are doing or where we are going.

One of the best ways that I have found to stay focused on success is to have written goals that you read every day. One of the best descriptions of success that I have read is by Earl Nightingale. He wrote the book "The Strangest Secret". His definition is "success is the worthy progression of a worth while goal". I love that statement, for me that's very powerful. In the book he give us a 30 day test that I would challenge you to do. It's a simple test and will only take a little time each day. If you pass the test you will be well on you way to success! It is simply this. Take a 3x5 card and on one side right a goal or something that you would like to have or do in the next 30 days. On the other side right the verse ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, Knock and it shall be opened unto you. This will help you believe in what you are doing. Know take your 3x5 card and read it when you get up in the morning and right before you go to bed at night. Do this for 30 day and see how your life will change. When you are done with your test do it again for another 30 days and so on. Your life will never be the same!!
