Living the Success Principles with Jack Canfield

Every individual on the planet wants to be successful but only a small percentage of the world gets to be successful consistently and for a long period. A lot of people who want to be successful don’t know what to do to get there or who to go to, but Namma Chennai was really fortunate to have got the opportunity to learn and live the success principles from none other than, ‘The Baap Of Inspiration’ as called fondly by admirers, Jack Canfield.

Jack Canfield’s book ‘The Success Principles’ has been a best seller, having sold millions of copies across the world, it talks about 64 principles used by successful men and women and Jack shared some of those principles to inspire and empower the Chennai admirers. Through the living the success principles session Jack did a wonderful job of helping people to get from where they are to where they want to be.

Jack aptly quoted Jim Rohn early in the session to help people realize they have to work hard and take 100% responsibility of their life, “You can’t hire other people to do your pushups for you”, that captures the essence of the first success principle. Jack followed that up with a wonderful formulae that summarizes everything that happens to us in our life, E+R=O (Event + Response = Outcome) and therefore our response plays a very important role in every outcome in our life and the response is governed by 3 things that we have control over, Behavior, Thoughts and Imagery.

He was very realistic when he said ‘you have to give up all the blaming and complaining’, as most of us when we don’t achieve success we comfortably choose to either blame someone or complain about the circumstances or people instead of focusing on how they could have still done better to succeed. To communicate the same he made a very powerful statement ‘I will act as if I create, promote or allow everything that happens to me’. He also dealt with goal setting and demonstrated through the muscle testing demo, why when setting a goal we should focus on how our goal would help to serve others.

It was an eye opener to realize that when someone says ‘try’ they don’t really expect you to be able to do it, therefore never ask anyone to try; it weakens their will to be able to do it. We must get rid of doubt and negative feelings to become successful, he described the same impressively with the example of Cliff young, an Australian who completed a 875km race in five and a half days at the age of 61 not having run any race earlier in life. He emphasized that one has to breakout of his/her comfort zone to be to able to taste success.

The session was filled with inspiring stories and exercises to help people realize their ‘Life’s Purpose’ and set goals for all aspects of life (breakthrough, financial, business/job/career, health and fitness and personal). His assertion, that one must take 2 types of actions to achieve their goals, ‘Obvious Actions & Inspiring Actions’, was enlightening.

The energy of being in the same room as Jack itself makes one inspired and empowered, as, it is his life’s purpose to inspire and empower people and he did exactly the same. I am sure the 650+ Chennai crowd are an empowered lot, who now have the recipe for success from the authority on success and inspiration.

With the mesmerizing session by the worlds No.1 Success Coach, Namma Chennai seems to be the new inspiration capital of India as, the who’s who of Chennai were present including the likes of Mr. Chitti Babu, Chairman & CEO, Akshaya Homes, Padmashree Vivekh, South Indian Actor, Mr. Adul Ghani, Social Activist, Mr. Hari Balaji, UNICEF Consultant (Disaster Mgmt), Ms. Anusha Ravi, CEO, Park Group of Institutions, Mr. Sarathbabu Elumalai, CEO, Food King. The event was also one of its kind as the carbon foot prints of the event was calculated by partnering with Savegreen Foundation (www.sgf.co.in)  & was neutralized making it the first Green International Seminar of Chennai.
