Success Isn’t Something You Just Do, You Embody It

“We must be the epitome — the embodiment — of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become. ” – Earl Nightingale

What we are, we attract. What we lack, whether in belief or fact, we repel.

Want love? Be loving.

Want a friend? Be friendly.

Want money? Be generous. (It’s an abundance/scarcity thing… )

Want success? Help others achieve.

Want security? Help others to resolve their fears.

Want anything? Help others get something.

***

Whatever you want, you must become the person who has such things – who is such things.
