Writing Your Success Creed

Your Success Creed is a list of those values, principles, and beliefs that are inherent and important to you.

Having a Success Creed comes in handy as you are confronted with choices while working towards your goals. When a tough decision presents itself, making the choice that best reflects your values, the values you've written in your Success Creed, will in almost every case prove to be the best choice.

A Success Creed, while helping to motivate you, reflects the limits you will place on your own ambitions.

Experts believe success comes easier to those who really know who they are. You should, therefore, write down your Success Creed somewhere it can be easily reviewed. Make it as clear, direct, durable, decisive, and positive as you can. And it must be based on beliefs you consider to be strong. Beliefs that form the foundation of who you really are.

Regularly reviewing your Success Creed will help motivate you. You will feel better about yourself and more positive about your prospects for achievement. After reviewing your Success Creed, you should feel proud about your efforts in striving for success, because you'll feel confident with knowing you deserve it.
