12 Success Principles from the book "It is not over until you Win" by Les Brown

"It is not over until you Win" by Les Brown is a book that lists down some of the success principles which may not really be new in success literature, but what makes this book unique is the uniqueness of his story and presentation of success principles in a rather refreshing manner.

I, hereby, list down 12 of my learnings from this epic book. These learnings are worded and appended in a way that makes it easier for most of us to understand and absorb.

So, here we go with the list of 12 of my Book Lessons from this book that influenced me immensely. 

(1) It is important to enjoy those times when life smiles at you.
Do not spend all your time planning for the next goal, rather do spend time to enjoy some of the milestones that you have already achieved.

(2) Nobody has all the answers all the time but there is always a way.
You got to believe in the fact that if there is a problem, there has to be a solution. It may take time, effort and energy to discover it, but the fact that there is a solution, should never make you lose hope.

(3) You are always more powerful than the conditions that surround you. There is immense power in you. You are HIS creation, and how can HIS creation be weak or fragile? You must believe in your enormous potential, and leave a lasting impression around the world.

(4) If you risk your life staying in a zone which is comfortable and secure, you may regret not exposing your talent to the world. If you truly believe that your potential is enormous, the only next thing that is going to stop you is the lack of ability to come out of your comfort zone.

(5) Fear death, if you want to, but don't fear life. 
Learn to live before you die. Each one of us have the same beginning and the same end. It is the journey inbetween that we can script our own.
(6) Be careful what you dream and expect. You might just get it, or it may get you. Your thoughts and dreams are energy. They are transmitted to this Universe, and they come back to you in the form of your destiny.

(7) Leave it to the woman you love, to remind you of your Values and the person you are. That is why a woman can never be the same as a man. She has some unique abilities, wisdom and talent that a man is not designed to possess. You must trust your Intellectual Companion to show you the right way in the direction of your values.

(8) The only person who can potentially stop you from achieving your dreams is the person standing in your shoes. What you get in life is what you subconsciously you believe you deserve.
Your conversations and self talk with yourself holds the key. Your self confidence in your own abilities will define where you end up.
(9) Time just sneaks away before you can get a sense of how much has already sneaked. If you have unfulfilled dreams, write them down and go after them right away, with a sense of urgency. 
Time happens to be your biggest asset in life. If you are spending your time on the things that you do not love to do, you are just wasting your life. In fact, time is the only currency.

(10) To reach success, you have to pass failure. It is OK to try and fail rather than not trying at all. Failures add meaning, texture and value to our success. 
Not only that, failure is critical and mandatory for success. You got to prepare yourself, and failure is what will teach you and prepares you for success. Each setback and failure is a little nudge from HIM to Dream On.

(11) Momentum while chasing your dream is vital. It opens up enormous unseen opportunities.
There has to be an urgency to succeed. Your generated momentum will help you overcome many obstacles which you would otherwise find more difficult to overcome or will spend more than the required time and energy to do so.

(12) You have to push at the edges constantly because you never know when life would give in a little and open up new opportunities for you.
Coming out of your comfort zone involves trying new things, and making yourself push hard and become uncomfortable. But you gotta keep doing that to explore beautiful new destinations for yourself.
