When you are in first position never forget those who helped put you there; those you may think of as the seconds, thirds, and others who taught you your lessons of choice, often in adversity. Without their valiant efforts to deliver their own performance you may never have been motivated and driven on to excel to such an ideal degree in your goals.

Those of true greatness have no need be first and foremost in anyone's eyes. They are happy to be considered seconds or thirds, or not at all. They know that their innate value will always shine through and make them a success in all circumstances. Their openness to, and acceptance of, all things as they are puts them at the forefront of all thinking and acting - they can adapt. Through that ability they have no need to stifle anyone else's efforts to win. All achievement comes with ability and imagination. The greatest ability is love, it lives out each moment. You love what you do - or you would not do it. True love though is the universal unconditional acceptance of communication and relationship between all things - that does make all things possible. None are rejected as unworthy; whatever you own values or opinions may be. The universe fully opens its doors to all who believe in realising themselves. Thus imagination triumphs over will anytime. Those who imagine are already within reach of their destination.

Success is not about winning at any cost and by any means, but being able to turn any challenge into a favourable and beneficial performance - structuring your own outlook into an affirmative acceptance of your choices and directing those choices to meet your dreams in some fashion. In a group of people striving for the same goal, you are compelled to excel along similar lines, if you let yourself be infected with enthusiasm and are inspired by another's efforts. If you can imagine yourself doing what they do - then you are already that person.

Success, like progress, is always the most recent invention of values realised along your path. They simply are the solutions of some of your challenging sets; as such they are not your will but the effects of your imagination. You are your own best teacher and disciplinarian. As you put in effort after effort to reach your appointed goal, adjust your means to suit your circumstances and aim to make your benefits a joy for all. You will, by the power of your personal and inspirational persuasion, draw in those who support you in your undertaking.

Remind yourself often that any position can gain more depth, even if you are at the top. When that moment comes you realise that stepping down from your lofty heights is not about losing, but about changes - the spunk of life is unlimited fun and exploration; interesting and a challenge. The challenge is that you are presented with the same issue over and over, under a different guise, until you have grasped it. What are the true parents of any aspiration? Repetition is the mother of all success - practice is the father of all achievement.

As long as you can ask questions you have indelible and incredible power. You are that power. Simply, because in your question lies the kernel of the next truth that you create in your reality. Asking questions and expressing opinions builds reality. Your future is a memory of those particular past resources you have put ahead of you, those are the things you wish to expand. Someone somewhere is always an inspiration, by example alone. Inspire yourself by being as imaginative and creative as you can possibly imagine yourself.
