Success is as real as opening and closing your hand

In this post I cover how simple things such as your own hand can be related to much greater things such as your own success and over all look on life. It’s a commonly used technique with teaching people how to memorise boring large passages of text. I want to apply it to the entire structure and learning process of human thought and success.

What has my hand got to do with it

Well I used the hand as the body part to represent success because most of a person’s life’s work unless you’re a footballer, is done using his\her hands. Hands to me represent hard work and effort. They are what carry you through life and life without your hand would be much harder. Now how hard is it for you to put your hand in front of your eyes, open it and close it?

It’s not hard at all in fact there is no difficulty and in most case not even a thought involved kind of a second nature. Not surprised you’ve been doing such things all your life. Your body is so used to them that it doesn’t need you to think about it. And when your eyes see that your hand is doing what you are telling it to that can be the key to your success.

The hand is a limb that is controlled by the brain when you control your own hand and make it open and close you are taking charge of the control of your limb using an assemblage of all the right muscle groups from the shoulder to the finger muscles in order to create such a movement.

Where is the success part in all of this

An individual’s personal success depends mostly on what they choose themselves to do. And choosing what you want yourself to do means taking control of your own mind and will. This may seem to most people as something they are already controlling other wise they wouldn’t be able to think? Right? Wrong! Taking control of you mind has many different levels, that is just one of them

There’s the simple “oh yes I can think and do what I want” level of thinking but even a mere child can do that. The level of control we should be looking for is being able to set targets and achieving those targets. Having goals and being able to achieve those goals. Having the ability to be able to de-stress ourselves of any problems that may arise, being able to overcome difficult situations. Creating that “will power” that can drive you to do anything you want achieve anything you desire.

I am going to be breaking this up into a set of series’ so stay tuned for further advancements on the keys to success
