“Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set.”
~ James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
I’ve written quite a bit about what I believe success to be, that is – CREATING YOUR IDEAL FUTURE. That definition to me describes simply and succinctly exactly what successful people do. It’s also the definition I’ve humbly offered readers of “The 3 C’s of Succcess”. The point being if you don’t know what your definition is or where you are heading, the likelihood of you reaching your intended target – your success, is near impossible! If you’ve missed that post click here or you can find it in the “The 3 C’s” eBook (to your left).
Having said that, it’s my great pleasure to turn Succcess.org readers on to Philosopher Notes, a tremendous service/product and website written and produced by my newfound buddy and kindred spirit (undoubtedly), Brian Johnson. Anyone who’s devoted so much time to reading and studying philosophy and personal growth- not just to improve himself, but to inspire others while providing tremendous value, is a HERO in my book (literally). Brian is a man intent on creating his his ideal future! And, my guess is he’d tell you he’s doing just that each and every day. You can find some background info about Brian here which shares where he’s at now; both physically and figuratively.
Brian is currently enjoying an ever-increasing sabbatical in Bali (the pictures above and below are actually from my semi-recent surf trip to Bali. A great friend had just sold his company and we needed to celebrate. However, that’s another story for another day). Back to Philosopher Notes, Brian’s on a mission to devour thousands of personal development titles – synthesize them into easily digestible bites (PDFs and MP3s). The premise of Philosopher Notes is essentially to produce Cliff Notes for personal development. BTW: This is a brilliant demonstration of synthetic imagination at work and an ingenious way to share rich nuggets of wisdom via concise and easy to understand PDFs and MP3s. His subscriber list is exploding, mostly through referrals and they are raving about the high quality of both his content and the production. Brian also adds his own unique personality and flavor to each message to make the lessons enjoyable and entertaining. He likes to refer to his efforts as “concentrated wisdom for your hero’s journey”.
“Try not to become a man of success, try rather, to become a man of value” ~Einstein
Brian truly gets it (in my humble opinion). You see, while he is not only in constant pursuit of creating his ideal future – he seeks FIRST to provide VALUE recognizing, as Einstein pointed out, that success can only be a bi-product, a RESULT of produced value! In the case of Philosopher Notes, Brian’s current offer is INCREDIBLE, to provide 100 best selling personal development titles for as little as $20! And, it’s his mission to give away his work product to 1 million subscribers!
I’m a HUGE fan of Brian’s work. His efforts align so well with our intentions here at Succcess.org to inspire readers throughout the world. To help them recognize their success isn’t simply some random HOPE but instead it’s their obligation! In fact, I’ve been so inspired by his work and his mission that I’ve offered to share a post about his efforts and in return he’s setup a FREEBIES link for Succcess.org readers. YOU CAN GET YOUR FREE TOP 25 Philosopher Notes HERE. I highly recommend you check out his very thoughtful and inspiring work. I’m certain that with these nuggets of wisdom (comprising hundreds of titles) he will help to accelerate your journey to realize the life you’ve imagined.
All the best. Enjoy!
