Tips to start and end your day with success

We all strive to be successful at something and then forget that daily success is above all at our fingertips.

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.” – Swami Sivananda

The definition of success

When I was younger I used to think of success as having tons of money in the bank, driving the best car, being a CEO and felt like a failure when as a result I couldn’t reach these goals.

It was only later in my life that I realized that we certainly can find success in small things . When I was diagnosed with Achalasia ( a swallowing disorder) I couldn’t even get liquids down my esophagus. After surgery the Doctor handed me a glass of water and told me to take a sip and for the first time in a year it went down without a struggle .
SUCCESS! It was the greatest feeling in the world.

Every day I experience success and this is how I do it –

My top 10 tips for daily success:

1. I make my bed first thing in the morning – 1^st success of the day
2. I pray and read from my spiritual/religious diary – 2^nd success of the day
3. I meditate for at least 5 minutes with deep breathing – 3^rd success of the day
4. I take Millie my dog for a walk – 4^th success of the day
