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. Yo u
can change your life for the better in an
instant. You can make an immediate deci-
sion to become more aware of how you are
living your life and recognize your personal
choice to be happy. Guided by your aware n e s s
and these Action Principles, you can act. You can
listen more, smile more, be more patient and volunteer
m o re often. You can take the lead and be in control. You can
choose to be a better partner, parent, friend, son, daughter,
e m p l o y e r, employee and citizen. In short, you have the God given
power to choose a life of self-improvement and a commitment to help-
ing 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
p resented 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. Commit a few minutes to reading and re f l e c t i n g
upon each day’s principle. Next, commit to telling one new person every day about
the Action Principles. 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 poten-
tial 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 dif-
f e rent. 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. To learn more about the life enrichment possibilities of
the Master Success System, visit our website at Success.org .

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 be
l e a rned 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 max-
ims embedded in the principles.
The Action Principles should help us to develop a mental and physical tough-
ness 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
e x p ressed in an inner peace from the knowledge that we are putting forth our
best eff o r t s .

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. Vi s u a l i z e
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.
