We are what we choose to be. Some choices that are made have importance only in our day to day life and have no real impact morally. Other choices that are made have challenges that not only impact our morals but can actually change the direction of our lives. Even these choices can be relatively small ones that take us one step at a time off our path. The one step at a time over periods of time will lead us down a completely different path.

The first time we realize that these choices have led us astray is when we are facing consequences square in the eye. The reality is that everyone has made these side steps at one time or another. The key is realizing where we got off the path we were on and finding out how to get back on the right path. When we make choices, we take back the responsibility of our own destiny. Even when circumstances are truly out of our control, we still have the choice on what we are going to focus on and the choice of what attitude we are going to take in any given set of circumstances.

So the first secret is that choice is our greatest asset in our own success. Choice is the first step in living a healthy, balanced and successful live.

Ask yourself these simple questions. Do small things cause major reactions from you? Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed? Are you often in a hurry? If you answered yes to any of these questions you probably are missing the second secret to success.

Getting out of the fast lane and taking the time to rest is the second secret. Can it really be that simple? Yes, however, you have to define what rest is. Rest can be a broad horizon of meanings from the eight hours of sleep at night to the 10 minute power nap you sneak during lunch. Regardless of the quantity of sleep you get, it is the quality of rest you get that will determine your success. Closing your eyes for 60 seconds and imagining you are sitting on a beach with the warm rays of sun shining upon you can restore and re energize your mind for your next big meeting. Most people have over stimulated their minds and this quick and easy 60 second vacation is just the ticket that is needed.

The third secret is one of the more difficult areas for most people to accomplish. Do you have people that just know what buttons to push? Is there someone in your life that you still need to settle an old resentment with? The third secret to your success is interpersonal relationships. We have some relationships in our lives that are just blessings; yet, other relationships that create the greatest challenges we have to face. There are some tools you can use to create healthy interpersonal relationships even with those that frustrate you. The tools are simple. Love and tolerance. There is a saying that goes something like this “you have to love everyone, but you don’t have to like everyone”. That statement is the basis of lover and tolerance. Learning to love and tolerate all people in our lives will lead to successful interpersonal relationships.

The final secret to your success is optimum quality. Optimum quality simply means that you live life at its best and to its fullest every day. It is not something that will be hand delivered to you on a silver platter - it is a deliberate decision followed up with deliberate actions. Investing your energy in such a deliberate manner practically guarantees that you will have an optimum quality of life.

Start the journey today by applying these simple secrets of success into your daily living and the gifts you will receive is the gift of success to your own body, mind, and spirit.
