What is so inviting about the tried and true advice of the Action Principles is that the beneficial results are immediate. You don’t have to spend a year in graduate school, two days fasting or an hour chanting. Just stop, take a few deep breaths, read for a moment and think. You can change your life for the better in an instant. You can make an immediate decision to become more aware of how you are living your life and recognize your personal choice to be happy. Guided by your aware ness and these Action Principles, you can act. You can listen more, smile more, be more patient and volunteer more often. You can take the lead and be in control. You can choose to be a better partner, parent, friend, son, daughter, employer, employee and citizen. In short, you have the God given power to choose a life of self-improvement and a commitment to helping others. And, no one can take this power from you. You can live an active life and be successful, happy and at peace.
The tone of the 100 Action Principles is motivational. These Action Principles are for you, a self-reliant take-charge person of action willing to study and work hard for yourself, your family and the larger community. The Action Principles are not presented as religious principles but rather as ideals common to all major re l i g i o n s .
The Action Principles are not commandments but inspirational guides to re i n f o rc e your own value system. The intent is to challenge and stimulate your thinking as you create your own independent success philosophy formalized in your daily action plans, your to-do list.
Give the Action Principles a month. Enroll in our free e-mail program on S u c c e s s . o rg. Every morning, we will send you one of the Action Principles and a short Master Meditation Mantra.

Challenge yourself and challenge 30 others to be their best!
This is what it’s all about; helping yourself as you help others. With the habit of reviewing an Action Principle each day, you will become the beneficiary of both tangible benefits like more money, a better job and impro v e d health and intangible benefits like love, respect, friendship and peace of mind. As you begin to fulfill your own personal and financial goals, you will find that you will have the re s o u rces, time and peace of mind to share your good fortune and positive attitude with others. You will have created success to share. Your life will evolve from making a living to making a diff e rence. Achievement by achievement, better day by better day, with persistence, you will continue to find that your potential is almost unlimited.
No one is choosing you to become successful. You are selecting yourself. Most people will not be able to see the power contained in the simplicity of these words. They will read them with casual interest and move on. You can choose to be different. You can choose to be extraordinary. In this defining moment, you can choose to make the 100 Action Principles your principles for your life. The Action Principles are Level One, the Aw a reness Level, of the six levels of the Master Success System.

The Action Principles
The Action Principles present an outlook on how to live harmoniously yet comfortably in the modern world. They are gems of action-oriented advice that can guide us in our lifelong quest for spiritual and mental growth, health and financial prosperity. The principles evolve from the important lessons to belearned from self-reliance. The principles offer us a perspective to assess where we are and where we hope to go. There are many time tested motivational maxims embedded in the principles.
The Action Principles should help us to develop a mental and physical toughness to handle the rigors of everyday living as we work toward our goals. The Action Principles should help us to develop a mental and physical softness expressed in an inner peace from the knowledge that we are putting forth our best efforts .
Set Goals
Unless you shape your life, circumstances will shape it for you. You have to work, sacrifice, invest, and persist to get the results you want. Choose them well. You can’t start your planning until you know where you want to go.
You are the sculptor of your own image. Have others already done what you want to do? Study them and do what they did. Start anywhere, at anytime, and persist. Stop worrying what others think about what you can or can’t do. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Have the self-confidence to challenge your current situation. This is your life to live; it’s day by day and step by step.
Write down your goals. Only three percent of people have written goals and only one percent review those written goals daily. Be in that elite one percent. Visualize the attainment of your goals often. Goals are dreams with dates attached. You will only become as great and as happy as the goals you choose.
