Lesson 1: Mental Law of Success
Ideas we can think of, believe in, and confidently
expect of ourselves must become our experiences.
Explanation:
1. The inside of our heads determine the outside of our lives. Our thoughts and feelings attract our lives to us. The way we look at the world is the way the people of the world will look back at us.
2. We are how we think.
A. If we think positive we will have positive lives.
B. If we think negative we will have negative lives.
C. If we are critical of ourselves and other people, we will attract more of what we
are critical about.
D. If we say something negative about someone else, it will come back to haunt us.
E. Garbage in – garbage out!
F. Greatness in – greatness out!
3. We are, right now, where our minds have been in the past.

About the Book
We train people in many areas of life but we seem to forget one critical area, training their heads. You give me a person that thinks he/she will succeed, and they probably will. This is a learned behavior. A person must be taught how to act/react in many different situations. This can be the difference between succeeding and not. People must be taught how to respond to such things as winning, loosing, failing forward, dealing with jealousy, refusing to lose, competitiveness, being coachable/teachable, goal setting, developing passion, perseverance, work ethic, dedication, etc.
It is often said that 80% of life is between the ears. We currently focus on training the 20% that is mostly physical. This book is designed to give us the tools we need to begin training the 80%: the mental portion of life. Coupling the physical and the mental aspects of life will assist others in becoming the best they can be. This book is about training people to get the best out of their lives. Most importantly this book is designed to teach success skills that people can use for the rest of their lives and share with others.
How will the people you care about learn these skills? By chance? In the back yard? If you don't teach them, who will? People have to be trained how to use these skills or they will never be able to use them. People cannot apply what they do not understand. Will you be the one to teach them the success skills they will use for the rest of their lives? If not you, who? If not now, when? What if nobody taught them? This book is a reference that many will use for the rest of their lives.
About the Author
Dr. Timothy S. Wakefield is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Diplomate in the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Certified in Chiropractic Spinal Trauma. Dr. Wakefield has published many articles and taught multiple programs in the area of sports injuries, physical fitness, athletic development, professional development, etc. Dr. Wakefield has worked with people from elementary school to the professional levels. Dr. Wakefield has seen many people with exceptional skill. Some of these people have not reached their potential because of their inability to work through some of the mental hurdles that are a part of life. Dr. Wakefield is a firm believer that these traits are teachable. Dr. Wakefield's experience teaches him two critical criteria that make this program successful. First, there must be a consistent format to teach these traits. Second, these traits must be taught over and over again. This concept is the same as learning 2+2=4. We may not have learned the answer was 4 the first time but we did after repetition. If one follows the consistent format in this book, these life lessons are teachable and learnable. The second key is repetition. To better assist you, Dr. Wakefield has established a system to repeatedly teach the mental aspects of life.
