Why Success Courses Don’t Work

Is Success Out There Somewhere?
Let’s face it . . .
In addition to books like Think and Grow Rich there have been hundreds “ nay, thousands – of books, tapes, programs and seminars on how to succeed in finding wealth and happiness from the same number of very successful entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, athletes, and others who know how to be successful, and teach these success courses.
The problem is – they don™t necessarily know the best way to get you there. With so many personal issues, hidden decisions, lack of early role models, and a feeling of hopelessness pervasive among the vast majority of the human population, its a statistical miracle, really, that any of us should be able to emerge as success stories.
But we do . . . at least some of us! The rest of us believe we can’t make it because we don’t have enough motivation, education, encouragement, persistence, or resources. But we are told to believe otherwise, and many of us go along with this suggestion from successful speakers and motivators.
If you are one of those among us, here’s the real scoop . . .
Let’s say you buy all their books, take their seminars, listen to their tapes and use their programs. This is what I call a “feel good” exercise because we really feel like we are “doing something for me!”
But then the work begins and we get wimpy. The motivation lags. The affirmations don’t work. The Law of Attraction starts attracting neighbors with pit bulls and late-night parties. So when the courses don’t work, it becomes YOUR fault that you failed. (If you don’t believe me, read their legal disclaimers to get the full scope of your responsibility.)
This, however, is a win-win. They get to win because they obviously showed you the right way to commit to your goals and succeed. You, on the other hand, get to win because you proved once again to yourself This won’t work for me.” Your hidden decision to “succeed by failing” has too firm a grasp on your consciousness – with little reason for your subconscious to change.
Now, think about that for a minute. At any given moment you decide on a goal, you either believe
a) I can do it or
b) I can’t do it.
YOUR BODY “ that fine-tuned instrument of actual truth – will instantly decide if (a) you can do this or (b) leave it alone, you can’t do it, you’re not going to do it… or some other reason that may be hidden from your conscious mind.
So when you set your goals and affirmations,
¢ Wouldn’t it be nice to have your left AND right brains on board?
¢ Wouldn™t it be nice to have the body on board?
¢ Wouldn’t it be nice to have the emotions on board?
¢ Wouldn™t it be nice to have intuition come into play effortlessly, and
¢ Wouldn’t it be nice if the memory of ancestors, family, friends, and everything that’s ever happened in your life would not hold you back whenever you make a decision?
You can do this. But you must be able to get what is called cybernetic feedback from your body and subconscious in order to navigate through this soul logic that exists inside you “ out of the reach of your conscious understanding and control.
This is where muscle testing comes in. More on this in the next article.
