Chapter One
The Formula for a Successful Life
Sometimes, in our most desperate moments, there are desires that arise that will drive us forward to accomplish everything we ever wanted. The desire must always outweigh our fear which is keeping us from the very thing we want.
It is from this adversity that we gain great knowledge.
Napoleon Hill, author of `Think And Grow Rich", stated, "That from every Adversity, every heartache, every sorrow there is a seed of equal or greater benefit."
This simple statement IS how we learn and grow or choose not to grow. If we can consciously overcome the subconscious fears we have been programmed with our whole life, then we stand a chance of changing situations before they become great adversities.
It wasn't until I read the book by Napoleon Hill called the "Law Of Success" that I began to understand the Scepters of Fear. I had been struggling with my own challenges around spirituality, money and relationships and miraculously the answers were revealed to me through the understanding of the basic fears that exist in most people.
The answer was in the subconscious programs that were running within us. Changing these programs can be the difficult part, positive affirmations do not work on a person that has been self-programmed to negatively react to a particular event.
Clearing the negative emotion programs that are running is paramount to having success. If you own negative emotions around money then you will struggle. If you own negative emotions around relationships then you will keep having the same difficulty. Remaining in negative emotions over long periods of time will most definitely affect your health. It is all about clearing the negative programs in your subconscious and then reprogramming the new life desired.
When I say "OWN" I mean that these programs, which you have picked up through learned behavior, are yours and can only be changed by you on an individual basis. It has been your interpretation of your environment that is giving you the results you are getting.
To disconnect 'you' from these learned programs it takes an understanding of the connections and then a systematic approach to clearing the counter-productive behavior and reprogramming the subconscious with a new behavior.
The Simplified Mathematical Success Formula
It has been discovered that there is but one simple formula for success, it is as follows;
YS = LoD + CH
YS is "Your Success" or your current result. What you have currently in your life is Your Success. I believe everyone is successful to their particular self-limitations, if they want more they need to change but 2 emotional things.
Part One of the formula; LoD, your "Level of Desire". How bad do you want it? Many of us have been taught not to dream, not to have any expectations from life because, "Life Is Hard!". "Being Successful is hard work" You have probably heard one of those sayings or something similar. When you are taught that life is a struggle, then of course most would give up before they ever started.
Perhaps, you have proved this to yourself already. You have tried and tried but just couldn't get to your goals. In turn you give up and settle back unhappily into your result. This is where life has beat you down and you think why ask for more because I am not worthy of having it. You can be completely oblivious to what the cause may be. If you are at that point in your life where you have given up trying then you have settled into your own self doubt and self loathing. It takes practiced skills to change your level of desire just as you have been practicing the self doubt thought patterns you have at this very moment.
The truth of the matter is that success is no more difficult than mediocrity; it is only a matter of choice.
*Jim Rohn states, "It is not the direction of the wind but the set of the sail that gets you to your destination." When we correct the errors of the past and set some new disciplines for the future, life changes.
You get the good things you want in life when your Level Of Desire exceeds your fear and self doubt.
In other words ...
When your Desire for what you want is strong enough, fear and false beliefs will take a back seat to your desire.
Part Two of the formula; CH, your "Current Habit". Current Habits are the programs that are constantly running in you that dictate your results. They are the anchors that tie you to you current result. These habits and believes have been reinforced with fear and doubt and the programs have become carved in stone.
To pictorially show you this formula I want to direct you to the following work of art on the next page by Nicholas Brooks (Yes, he is my very talented son).
This was Nicholas' perception of our struggle with self limitation and how we are held back by our emotional anchors, beliefs and past. He foresees we all have the capability of finding freedom when we break these chains. The things we desire are immediately in front of us and attainable.

Most of our habits were built on fear or ill-gotten advice. In their over simplified form they would be like the following scenario;
LoD—A person really wants to be debt-free and living the good life. Modern teachings of the Law of Attraction states, "Ask and it is given". Yet the result appears unchanging, "What could be wrong". The step that most people miss when they speak of Law of Attraction is the most important part; put yourself in a mental and emotional 'mode to receive' what you want. 'Ask' and then emotionally 'Allow' what you have asked for to come to you by 'Feeling' the joy of having what it is that you want.
So we are taught, through positive affirmations, to have happy thoughts and hopefully, with enough gloss on the day, we will get what we asked for. In the 'mode to receive' means; you need to put yourself in alignment with what you want as if you...
