b'Introduction The secrets of success?If you define a secret as simply an unknown fact or an undiscovered detail of a fact you already know, then the "secrets" to success abound.On the other hand, if you define a secret as a magic bullet that can guarantee success, that magic bullet or success secret can only be yourself. Yourconvictions,youractions,yourpersonal,professional,andrelational qualities as well as your determination to carry out your projects will ultimately determine your success.Others can make your path to success easier or harder, but they don\'t have the final say on whether you succeed in life.Simple, we are all we really have. Any current possessions could go away for a variety of reasons. The same is true with any ongoing relationship.If we define ourselves through our possessions or our relationships, we will be devastated if they are lost. Fundamental autonomy is therefore one of the keys to success.While support from others is welcome, it is not guaranteed. Self-confidence is another key to success, and it starts with being your biggestgroupie. Others can influence or persuade you, but they cannot "make" you act in a certain way without your permission.RecognizingandusingyourZONEofcontrol,whichispartofoverallself-control, empowers you to take charge of your actions, reactions, emotions, and attitude to the best of your ability.Only then will you be able to take control of each situation.What is success?Achievingwealth,fame,aperfectbody,respectfromourpeersandour community,orwinningamarathoncouldbeoneofthosethings,because success irretrievably includes achievement.However, truly satisfying success also includes a degree of inner peace, joy, and self-fulfillment in terms of the dreams you can contemplate and the goals you set for yourself.Therefore,successcouldbedefinedasanaccomplishmentthatinvolves personal development and growth, as defined by the individual. 36Germain Decelles'
