Attracting Success With A Simple Success Formula

Success means different things for different people.

But have you ever thought of this - how do you track your success on a day to day basis?

Some People have long-term goals, such as losing 20kg or switching to a better job. But how do you know if each day has been a successful one?

Here is a simple formula that will not only track your daily success, but will also keep you honest and focused on what really matters in your life.

Step One: At the end of each day, think about all the things you did that day. Think about them in terms of hours. An example would be: 8 hours of work, 2 hours of traveling, 2 hours playing with your kids, etc.

Step Two: Either on a piece of paper or in your head, take note of the hours that you have spent that day into one of two categories: Successful or Unsuccessful. Here is how you judge this:

A successful hour - is one spent doing something that makes you feel meaningful and alive. This could be doing something that involves your creativity, learning something new that interests you, spending time with people you love, exercising etc. This is NOT something passive like watching TV. You have to be actively involved in order for it to count.

An unsuccessful hour - one that you spent doing something that makes you feel dead inside. This could be a boring and stressful job, spending time with people who you do not really like, doing something out of a feeling of guilt, etc.

Step Three: Total up your Successful hours and your Unsuccessful hours, and compare them.

The exact success formula looks like this:

Successful Hours > Unsuccessful Hours = Successful Day

So basically if you spent more hours today doing things that added to your life and gave you a sense of energy and purpose, the more successful today was. The more time you spent today doing things that sucked the life and enjoyment out of you, the less successful today was. If you spent more hours doing successful things than unsuccessful things, it was a successful day today.

Some people may look at this formula and argue that it does not account for the simple things that most of us have to do to survive, such as work demeaning jobs to pay the bills or the like. Others may have a problem that it does not actually tell you how to get more money, health or whatever they personally define success to be.

The reason why this formula works so well is because the only thing that is being measured and judged is TIME. Time is the only thing that we all have a limited amount of on this planet, and how you spend yours, hour by hour, is all you have really got to determine your success. The past is gone, and the future is unknown. So spend as many of your hours TODAY doing the things that give you energy, joy and LIFE.

That is the true measure of success, no matter what anyone else says.

But I do believe you also need to know what is your goal in life and understand the ways to turn your goals into realities.
