Success awaits you as you're transformed by the renewing of your mind. Transformed from "if only " thinking. Into Success Belongs to Me Thinking because you've already got what you need to get success flowing in your life.

You need to hear this story on the road to success. A beggar sat by the roadside on a battered box. Daily he moaned "Spare a dollar for a poor man". One day a gentleman, glowing success passed by. As the beggar pleaded with him, the successful man asked, "Have you looked under your box?" The beggar protested there was nothing there. But, at the urging of the man, he turned the box over and discovered bars of gold bullion.

For more than 10 years this beggar had been sitting on enough money to keep him a luxury lifestyle for the rest of his days.

You can get powerful success building lessons from this story.

Firstly, when in a time of serious need, always check what's available in your daily journey. Look under all the "old boxes". Baby boomers have many such boxes. Do a checklist of all skills you've developed. Ask yourself how you can convert them into cash. Consider the industrial chemist with little money but an ability to mix chemicals. The discovery under her "old box" was to combine her chemist skills, with a passionate dislike for mosquitoes, to develop a product called a Mozzie Zapper. This earned her $1 million in the first year of production. She can proclaim Success Belongs to Me.

Secondly, never assume you know your setting better than passers by. Regularly check all your assumptions. Check assumptions about the value of items you own. Be encouraged by the teacher who found in his home office bookshleves, books now out of print, and worth hundreds of dollars.

Thirdly, entertain strangers, take their advice, as thereby some have entertained angels unawares. You will discover, in times of great financial need strangers enter your life. You need an attitude to them of openness and acceptance. Allow them and they will lead you on the path to a financial breakthrough.

You can prove for yourself everything you need is yours already by applying the three lessons. Be sure to Check Under "Old Boxes", Check All Assumptions, and Entertain Strangers.

With these actions you will be able to proclaim - Success Belongs to Me.
