The achievement of anything that you desire must be considered success, whether it is a trophy, money, relation-ships, or things.
But if you will let your standard of success, be your achievement of joy, everything else will fall easily into place. For in the finding of joy, you are finding vibrational alignment with the resources of the Universe.
When you hold the desire to be joyful and you are sensitive to the way you feel, and therefore guide your thoughts in the direction of things that feel better and better, you improve your vibration, and your point of attraction becomes one that will only attract—through the Law of Attraction-things that you desire.
Deliberately guiding your thoughts is the key to a joyful life, but a desire to feel joy is the best plan of all … because in the reaching for joy, you find the thoughts that attract the wonderful life you desire.
