The Cambridge dictionary translates success as; “The achieving of desired results”. which is a different way of looking at success. It is success without competition. Whether you passed your test, finished a job, completed a task, have a good relationship, something we fulfilled makes us successful , regardless of the results of somebody else.

We feel satisfied and fantastic after our accomplishment.

It allows success to be different for one person than for the other. Which seems to be very reasonable, for each person is unique, with each individual and personal road-track of life, some take the highway others take a backtrack, some take a racing car others go walking, but at the end every person has accomplished the task to the fulfilment of his desire. This feeling of satisfaction and feeling well is a very strong engine for our motivation. It builds the statue of self-respect and confidence in oneself . Again it doesn’t matter whether the desire is small or big the end-result is what counts.

This means that according to the Law of Attraction, success leads to more success and gives us more strength and perseverance to continue on the road of life and to fulfil our desires.

If we look at our daily life, it most of the time is more like a highway on which we are moving with high speed to go from one task to the next one , without pulling the car alongside for a break and to analyse the success we achieved, to enjoy a moment of happiness and satisfaction.

We forget to add this success to our statue of self-respect and confidence. We are afraid to give ourselves credit for the results.

A very simple exercise to improve our self-confidence is by value-ing our success.

At the end of the day , go over what you have done that day . Look at every success you achieved big ones but don’t forget the small ones, that you might take for granted. Write them down and give yourself credit for the results.

It might seem as a sand grain in the dessert , however this will change your view of yourself and increase your self-respect and your belief in the ability to build your own empire ( life ). It might also help you to look in a different way at other people. Because the respect , value and acceptance that somebody has for oneself gives you the tools to look in a different way at other people.
