Maria Duval's 24 Qualities For Achieving Success In Your Life
It is to everyone's advantage to develop and self-improve. Maria Duval has listed 24 qualities of
life which will have a great influence in a
person's life if they are practised or learned.
Some of them are favourable to financial success
while some of them will enhance a person's
integrity and reputation.
1. BE SELECTIVE
Don't pursue several aims at the same time,
especially if they clash. Devote your attention
to your primary objective. Choose Choose between
love, money, stability, fame and etc. Unless you
already have a very advanced understanding of
Universal Cosmic Energy, you can't deal with them
all. So it's best to select one or another.
2. BE USEFUL
Nothing succeeds unless it clearly serves
collective interests and is therefore useful.
Sharing your talents and being helpful is an
infallible guarantee of success.
3. BE COMPETENT
This is one of the best ways of fighting off the
competition and winning contracts. No one would
argue with this rule. A lack of competence leads
to needs and poverty, at least in the long run.
4. TAKE AN INTEREST IN WHAT YOU DOING
Even if your job or activity is only a temporary
occupation, you are unlikely to achieve your
ultimate goal unless you commit yourself fully to
your current task. It will be hard to get good
results un the future, if you don't get into the
habit of working with interest right now.
5. BE FAIR
Don't just look after your own interests. It's no
good wanting to receive without giving in return.
Don't keep everything for yourself, but don't
give it all away either. Try to maintain an even
balance.
6. KEEP YOUR WORD
You can only succeed if you inspire confidence,
and you will never inspire confidence unless you
are true to your word.
7. BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU SAY
When you are dealing with other people, they can
instinctively tell whether or not you believe in
what you are saying. If you yourself are not
convinced, you won't be able to get them to do
the things you want them to, no matter how hard
you try.
8. BE PERSUASIVE
If you are competent and convinced, you only need
to make a bit of effort to share your ideas. You
will defintely have to fight to succeed, but you
can learn to do this.
9. BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR AIMS
Don't keep changing your opinions or objectives,
don't give up at the first hurdle. Choose
something and stick to it firmly.
10. USE YOUR TIME WELL
Don't waste your time: this is one of the secrets
of success! Don't attempt things which are
impossible in the time available. Don't fritter
away your time on things which don't matter.
Allow just the right amount of time for each
thing or invest your time in doing something
meaningful or appropriate.
11. USE YOUR MONEY WELL
Regard money as a means, and not an end. It is a
means of action and should be used very carefully
like a precious tool. Be fully conscious of its
value and regard it as a bargaining chip. Having
money gives you no right to be arrogant and to
despise those who for some reasons don't have
much as you. There is a difference between
possessing money and allowing yourself to be
possessed by money!
Similarly, to succeed you need to have a keen
sense of values. You need to understand the other
people will only donate their time, money or
friendship if they receive something worthwhile
in exchange. You need to offer something of value
in any kind of transaction, be it business,
emotional or etc.
12. LEARN TO OBSERVE AND ANALYSE
You can profit from your mistakes if you know how
to observe and analyse. And you will only be able
to reproduce a success if you have carefully
noted all the factors which contributed to it.
13. LEARN TO CONCENTRATE
Focus intently on one thing at a time. Maria
Duval emphasizes this again: good powers of
concentration are extremely important and
valuable.
14. VISUALISE SUCCESS
Any achievement begins life as a clear vision in
your mind. Without visualisation, there would be
no works of art, no monuments, no machines, not
even simple love.
15. THINK AHEAD
You will never be caught out if you plan an
alternative solution in case of problems.
16. MAKE A DETAILED PLAN
Don't expect miracles, expect things to take
their natural course. Look for gradual success,
and outline each successive step.
17. GET ORGANISED
Make your work fruitful, use effective methods,
tools, and people.
18. BE DARING
Leap into action when the time comes - don't
procrastinate.
19. KEEP TRYING
It's unusual to succeed straight off, or to
succeed every time. You will waste all your
initial efforts if you don't keep trying, in
spite of how bad things may seem.
20. WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT
Don't embark on anything at an unfavourable time.
Learn how to wait for an opportune moment when
you have all the resources you need.
21. BANISH YOUR WORRIES
If you allow yourself to be dominated by worries,
you will be unconsciously nourishing them with
your own strenght. You must learn how to "put
them in the bin" and forget about them.
22. SHOW INTEREST IN OTHER PEOPLE
Show interest in people around you, even the most
humble. Try to succeed as much for them as for
yourself. Put yourself out for other people. It's
impossible to succeed alone, you can only succeed
through and for others.
SuUccessful people show an interest in others. If
someone is talking to you about themselves, their
family, their health, and you don't seem t be
paying attention or are obviously bored and try
to turn the conversation the other way round, you
will appear indifferent to other people and this
can be very detrimental in important situations
in life.
23. FIND TRUE FRIENDS
Success only lasts in certain circumstances. One
essential condition for success is that you
should be blossoming in a climate of friendship
and understanding. If you observe successful
people, you will often notice that they have
faithful friends who support them. And the
fundamental reason for this is that they give
their friends as much pleasure and help as they
receive from them.
24. HAVE THE WILL TO SUCCEED
This factor may be sufficient in itself, in spite
of adverse circumstances. It synthesises many
other qualities and "crystalises" the indifinite
power of Universal Energy for your benefit. This
feeling must be very deeply rooted inside you.
Maria Duval advises to learn to identify the
qualities you are lacking. They may vary over
time. If necessary, don't hesitate to consult the
people who know you, and in whom you can have
complete trust. Then work on the areas which you
are poorer in, learn from successful people, show
an keen interest to improve yourself and ample of
strong will to succeed. Once you are ready, the
Universal Energy will reward you with the fruits
that you are seeking for.
