What is Success?


Depends on your goal setting. What are your goals in life? Success is achieving your goals, whatever they are. You are the only one who can decide the real meaning of the word Success. It can be about money, or about family, feelings, being recognized as successful by others, going on TV, whatever. For me having Success means having enough money to live without worries, having my family and friends around, and helping others with my articles and my job. I've always thought that there is no better way of earning a living than by helping others to make their lives better. But for you it can be something completely different, and this is perfectly fine. Life likes variety.


Goal Setting and Achieving Basics


As a common definition we can say that Success means achieving a goal which for you represents Success, whatever it is. There are many ways to do this and each one of us can find his/her own right way. Usually I go for the simple way, following the Universal Truth that “Once things get too complicated everything can go wrong.” This clearly applies to goal setting.


Keep in mind that you are the only one who can prevent yourself from reaching your goals, just like you are the only one that can say "Now I've achieved Success". As someone else said “We are the ones who build up the bars of our prison”; and this is certainly true. The liable one for it is that part of our mind, described in my other hub “Our Mind: Knowledge is Power”, that any time we want to do something begins to say “You aren't so good”, or “You can't arrive that far”, "Your goal setting is too ambitious", or something like that; even if it's perfectly in our possibilities.

This is not made really against us, it's a kind of wrongly used safety mechanism to prevent us from sufferings or delusions. Problems arrive when it's too strong and prevent us from doing anything. In a certain sense our mind doesn't like changes too much, it usually follows the rule that “If you leave the old road for the new you know what you leave but not what you find”. This is true, but we can't always stay still. There is a solution though, and it is having an agreement between our conscious and our subconscious mind that achieving our goals will make our lives better; then if that little voice still goes on disturbing ourselves the Hand Clap makes wonders to make our mind clean, clear and ready to go.


The Four Steps to Have Success


These are the four steps to your Success:

  1. A crystal clear defined and reasonable goal: be clear with your goal setting as if your goals aren't reasonable both for your conscious and subconscious mind there is no way you can achieve the desired results, so you need a clear goal, in order to know when you've achieved it, and reasonable or your mind won't put any effort in achieving it.
  2. Trust between you and your subconscious mind: you must be trustful that your subconscious mind has the powers and abilities to help you achieve your goal, and your subconscious mind must be trustful that you won't spend its energies for silly tasks. If you've already applied what's written in my other hubs than you're already beyond this.
  3. Letting work your subconscious mind while remaining focused on the desired final result: when the first two steps are established then you have only to let your subconscious mind do one of its duties, that is fulfilling your desires. Of course you must remain focused on it so that your subconscious keeps working toward it.
  4. Action: this is pretty self-explanatory as if you just "dream" and do nothing then nothing is what you will achieve.


To explain better this concept I usually use this example: have you ever played the game when with your first two fingers you have to catch a banknote hold by a friend when he let it fall? Unless you are born with the reflexes of a snake it's pretty difficult, well, it was for me until I learned the trick. Put you fingers in position and focus on the banknote, imagine that you have caught it and that it's already between you fingers, don't think about movements as this is your subconscious' duty, catch the banknote. Success!


Goal-Trust-Focus-Action.


Warning: Don't get too obsessed by having to reach your goals. The journey to your Success should be a pleasurable one. Be trustful and allow things to happen.


Goal Setting and Achieving with Hypnosis


Desired outcome: to be able to find ways to achieve your Goal.

Begin with a general goal; later on add your own target between brackets like having "5.000 $ in my bank account", or "happy family", "earn a living as a writer"..... Start small and then go on with bigger goals.


First Hypnosis INDUCTION then:

Say to yourself:

Dear subconscious, I KNOW that if we work together everything can be accomplished. I KNOW that if we really want to achieve something then we can find many ways to reach our goal. And this is wonderful because we have the possibility to achieve Success, and this will surely improve our life for the better. And I have a deep TRUST in your ability to find the best, simplest and fastest way to achieve lasting results. So FROM NOW ON I want to establish a new, permanent directive that when we decide to reach a goal we can always find the most suitable and safe way to achieve it.


NOW, I KNOW I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE BEST, SIMPLEST AND SAFEST WAY TO REACH MY GOAL (OF....).

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FIND ALWAYS THE BEST, SIMPLEST AND SAFEST WAY TO REACH MY GOAL (OF....).


Repeat the above two sentences three times.

FROM NOW ON I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE BEST, SIMPLEST AND SAFEST WAY TO REACH MY GOAL (OF....).


Repeat three times.

IMAGINE THE ACHIEVED OUTCOME AND FEEL HOW YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

DAILY REPETITION: USE THE I CAN SENTENCE: I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE BEST, SIMPLEST AND SAFEST WAY TO REACH MY GOAL (OF....).

Begin with the generalized sentence, then after you have become proficient with it add the specific goal (OF....).


Conclusion


Here it is one way to use Hypnosis for goal setting and achieving your desired outcome. This especially in these hard times, requires a lot of creativity, some luck, consistent efforts and some Motivation. What you have to keep in mind is that since you decide your goal then only you can prevent yourself from reaching it. And if you trust your Mind Power you'll surely find a way to achieve your goals. Just remember the water when it has to go downhill, if it finds an obstacle it just moves around it and goes on toward its destination.


Success Factors:


GOAL-TRUST-FOCUS-ACTION.


Crystal clear goal setting, trust that your Mind Power can get you there, focus on your desired outcome, act to achieve your goals.


Now why don't you tell me what you think?

Thanks - I enjoyed reading this Hub. I believe that "you can, if you think you Can".

I was quite drawn in on No2. I think sometimes when we trust, strangely what we want attracts itself to us. It just appears. I think in many cases anyway. lol.

These are very useful/practical Hubs.

Thanks

Hypnodude- Great Hub, and lots of good information. I am well known for having just a touch of self- diagnosed ADD.......... I could never sit still long enough to complete most of these steps, but hey............ it's something to work for. I might just succeed!

Thanks,

Hi ladyjane, it's the same for me, and I usually press your green button too. There are good reasons for that as I dig your hubs. :)

hypnodude Hub Author 2 years ago

Thanks Lady_E, you are right, if we have a clear goal and we trust in our ability to reach it then we usually get it. And if we don't than at the end it appears that it was the best thing for us not to reach our goal. Thanks for your appreciation. :)

hypnodude Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi Kaie, if you find it difficult you could try to use just the I CAN sentence repeating it as much as possible during the day (I would say ten times every hour) while maintaining the focus on your desired goal. It will probably take longer than using Self Hypnosis, but a small step forward is better then no step at all. :)

Thanks for commenting and wishing you Success. :)

hypnodude profile image

hypnodude Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi Jill, thanks for your very kind words. Your compliments are much appreciated. I love too that sentence, especially because it can be seen in two ways. If you are the water moving around obstacles is the fastest way to reach your goal; if you are the rock and water comes over you keeping the head down and waiting for the water to pass over is the best tactic and you remain untouched. Whatever you are you win.:) Have a great day!

i am a big believer in the power of the mind, and positive thinking. i mean, we can get blue but then we realize if we can think ourselves into feeling bad, we can think ourselves into feeling good too. i have listened to subliminal self-hypnosis tapes in the past to help me find my center and feel calm when i used to suffer from anxiety, and that stuff really works! i love the images in this hub too, especially the nature ones. nice hub-rating it UP.

hypnodude profile image

hypnodude Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi cosette, thanks for you rating and appreciation. I'm glad you like my hub. And I agree with you, finding the positive side of things can make wonders for our mood. I've listened too to some self hypnosis tapes and if professionally done they are very useful. Who knows, maybe one day I'll enter that field too, well, after some more English lessons. :)

Hypnodude: Now that I am a baby boomer, I can look back and see how the definition of success has changed for me, its part of my own growth. In my 20's and 30's it was getting ahead in my corporate career and finding a mate; nowdays, it love, health, family and sufficient money to be comfortable which I have achieved for the most part, and oh, yes, publishing at least 3 books that help others, yup, this is what I want, so will use your technique. Yes!:)

Thumbs up!

hynodude - What a terrific hub, I couldn't agree with you more on all that you wrote. I've always viewed my subconscious mind as my friend. I love the manner in which you defined success, recognizing that it is different for each one of us. I love your four steps to achieve success.

You did a really great job on this hub,

Sage

hypnodude Hub Author 2 years ago

Violet, my dear friend, I'm very happy that you have already achieved most part of what you wanted. That's great. One of the gifts of becoming older is that we know what are the things really important in life. I really hope that this hub will help you achieve your goal of writing 3 books to help others, which is a wonderful goal. I wish you all the good things that you can have. :)

hypnodude Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi Sage, thanks for your very kind words. You are right, our subconscious is our best friend, only that sometimes it acts in very strange ways, that's why we need to learn to direct it when needed. Thank you very much again for your appreciation. :)
