Success by Louise Hay

" Success -- Every Experience is a Success. " Written by Louise Hay

" What does " failure " mean anyway? Does it mean that something did

not turn out the way you wanted it to, or the way you were hoping?

The law of experience is always perfect. We outpicture our inner

thoughts and beliefs perfectly. You must have left out a step or had

an inner belief that told you that you did not deserve ---- or you

felt unworthy.

It's the same when I work with my computer. If there's a mistake, it

is always me. It is something I have not done to comply with the

laws of the computer. It only means that there is something else for

me to learn.

The old saying, " If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, " is

so true. It doesn't mean beat yourself up and try the same old way

again. It means recognize your error and try another way -- until

you learn to do it correctly.

I think it is our natural birthright to go from success to success

all our life. If we are not doing that, either we are not in tune

with out innate capabilities, or we do not believe it can be true

for us, or we do not recognize our successes.

When we set standards that are much too high for where we are at

this moment, standards we cannot possibly achieve right now, then we

will always fail.

When a little child is learning to walk or talk, we encourage him

and praise him for every tiny improvement he makes. The child beams

and eagerly tries to do better. Is this the way you encourage

yourself when you are learning something new? Or do you make it

harder to learn because you tell yourself that you are stupid or

clumsy or a " failure " ?

Many actresses and actors feel they must be performance perfect when

they arrive at the first rehearsal. I remind them that the purpose

of rehearsal is to learn. Rehearsal is a period of time to make

mistakes, to try new ways and to learn. Only by practicing over and

over do we learn the new and make it a natural part of us. When you

watch an accomplished professional in any field, you are looking at

innumerable hours of practice.

Don't do what I used to do -- I would refuse to try anything new

because I didn't know how to do it, and I didn't want to appear

foolish. Learning is making mistakes until our subconscious mind can

put together the right pictures.

It doesn't matter how long you have been thinking of yourself as a

failure; you can begin to create a " success " pattern now. It doesn't

matter what field you want to operate in. The principles are the

same. We need to plant the " seeds " of success. These seeds will grow

into an abundant harvest.

Here are some " success " affirmations you can use:

" Divine Intelligence gives me all the ideas I can use. "

" Everything I touch is a success. "

" There is plenty for everyone, including me. "

" There are plenty of customers for my services. "

" I establish a new awareness of success. "

I move into the Winning Circle. "

" I am a magnet for Divine Prosperity. "

" I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams. "

" Riches of every sort are drawn to me. "

" Golden Opporunities are everywhere for me. "

Pick one of the above affirmations and repeat it for several days.

Then pick another and do the same. Allow these ideas to fill your

consciousness. Don't worry about " how " to accomplish this; the

opportunities will come your way. Trust the intelligence within you

to lead you and guide you. You deserve to be a success in every area

of your life. "
