Tune in to Succe$$: Strategies for Achieving Your Greatest Potential

This book is in the tradition of the works of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. In fact, he wrote the forward. The first chapter establishes the theme, "you are responsible for your success: America doesn't owe you a living." Another familiar thought to readers of Dr. Peale's materials is found in their observation, "We know that whatever the conscious mind accepts as true and chooses to believe, the subconscious will be driven to achieve" (p. 34). A pithy statement on perserverance is made on page 45, "In the end, tenacity, not talent, determines success."They talk about people who make a significant mark are those who are willing to do what the average person won't do.Like readers of Dr. Robert Schuller, we're reminded to "think in terms of possibilities" (p. 125).They warn, don't let other people impose their limitations on you.Money is a side effect, not the primary goal of achievement oriented people. Purpose is much deeper than financial they say.In the margin I wrote a note to myself to ponder and consider their interpretation of a familiar passage from the Bible. They say, "When the Bible speaks of casting your bread upon the waters, it is referring to the everlasting principle that the more you put into life; the more you get out of it" (p. 127). I'm still pondering on that, trying to see what I think of what they say.This is a wonderful book, written from a Christian worldview.I highly recommend it.
