My 3 Success Rules that Saved my Life




Fellow warriors, this is my first post. I wanted to start in this section because "motivation and the mind" is where it all starts and end’s. Before I start, I am selling you nothing. I am just a regular guy with thick skin who has been to some darks places already at 25 years of age and I want to share what it means to succeed to the top in today’s world. I encourage you to read and digest fully what I have to say, it will save you or a loved ones life someday. I’m having a bad day and want to help out others who are having a bad day, month, year… hell life. We are all on the same boat here.

Rule # 1

Success is relative to mindset, slack for even a day and it can destroy all forward progression for months. ANYONE who tells you something as small as “Well listen here slugger, some just don’t make it no matter how hard they try” is doing the “cut them down inch by inch method”. You feel smaller and smaller. Next time it happens, see how you really feel. I can assure you an extra hour of hard work will not be what you’re feeling any longer.

My rule of thumb is, listen to yourself ONLY. If anyone so much as hints at negativity or you feel “on the defense” around them, politely excuse yourself and do not return. Your dreams are yours, protect them. No one else will. It’s human instinct to remove competition for what ever reason, at any time. Save friends for “game night” not your dreams or business.

Rule # 2

Failure is needed, it should be welcomed. The pure madness of welcoming failure is the same madness as inviting someone, anyone to go against your beliefs openly. You will find something amazing happens when you do this. I won’t give away here, try it. When you welcome failure, offer it a place to sit and even some ice water when it tries to hard to knock you down, something else amazing will happen by the way.

Failure then suddenly becomes that annoying family member who you hate to love. You are a humble, sharing person so you cannot hurt them by excluding them, instead just tolerate them and show humility. Treat failure that way. See it as a complete annoyance that you allow to stick around because its “part of the ride” and you can’t be mean to the poor little guy for goodness sake. It will become more humorous than anything, then my dear friend, whom I don’t even know; you just discovered a key attribute to happiness for the rest of your days on this planet. Enjoy it fully and share it openly.

Rule # 3

You are your own best friend. Learn to go to movies, dinner, concur fears, hell even talk by yourself. Learn to be comfortable with it. If you feel you need to get something out, stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself how you feel, and then decide for yourself how you are going to solve the problem.

Too many people worry that they have the “crazy bug”. That they are nuts, and things are caving in or not wired right. The truth is everyone is crazy. Humans are at best, random.

Accepting who you are, what you can change and what you cannot quiet’s down you’re mind. I know, you never thought you could stop it, guess again. Try it sometime, it beats having a hang over the next day and the confidence from knowing you can, is something you can’t buy, it’s priceless.


Well warriors, I leave you know. I will update this thread with more information for you’re future success soon enough. I’d love to tell you to “Live, Love, Laugh”, but life is real, and sh*t happens so you can’t always do those things. I may be human, but I believe in what I say, and that it will help you. Even if you spin this article for free content (make sure to do a good job please) as many, many people need to see this so they can be helped or lifted up just as you were.

ALWAYS keep your head straight, help people, give back, and be responsible for your actions at all times. Does the world suck? Perhaps, so make it better, and stop complaining.

Share this with all your friends they need it.

Until next time warriors,

Andrew Michael

      Why do you disagree? "There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them."

      I think failure is needed, but by any chance should not be welcomed. You learn the most from your mistakes, so everyone really needs to fail to succeed. But, you should be striving to avoid it.

        With my philosophy, you don't need to avoid “failure.”

        Because (most of the time) it doesn't exist. It's simply something (an experience) which propels you forward towards your goal(s).

    If everyone is crazy, then that would mean that crazy is normal. And we're not random. We're completely predictable - every last one of us.

      Thanks for these 3 rules, I should work to include them in my life. Especially the 3rd rule. It seems I'm always accompanied by friends or family, I should learn to do more things on my own.
