Direction, Balance and Belief – What You Need to Succeed in Life

Success means many things to many people.  It cannot be given an absolute definition. However, Glenn Bland, author of Success! The Glenn Bland Method: How to set goals and make plans that really work, suggests that all success consists of three pillars – direction, balance and belief.   In explaining these pillars, Bland writes:

Success consists of three things if you are gain a true understanding:
1.        Direction – Setting your sights on the things that are worthwhile in life and then establishing a plan to continuously work toward their fulfillment and accomplishment.
2.        Balance – Keeping the proper perspective about every area of your life.  Staying in harmony with nature's law which produces perfect balance.  Balance in all things brings about happiness.
3.        Belief – No man will become successful who does not possess belief.  The greater his belief – the greater his degree of success.  Successful men are believers!

A person with direction, balance and belief will become successful in life. This week, I want you to consider the extent to which you have direction, balance and belief in your life.  If it is little (and it does not satisfy you), I urge you to start working at increasing it.  If it is a lot (and it satisfies you), I urge you to work at maintaining it as long as it continues to make you successful in life.  After that, you will need to increase it.
