For hundreds of centuries, philosophers and authors have spoken and written as to their beliefs as to what  are the keys to a successful life. The result is a dizzying array of recommendations, most of which make sense but can become overwhelming to try to implement.

I have studied peak performers for the last decade. I have come to believe that the common elements for all peak performers are Passionate Purpose, Abundant Energy, and Blissful Peace. It is at the intersection of these that we achieve a state of being from which our personal peak performance is most likely to result. This intersection, which I refer to as “The Zone,” can be depicted as follows:

Living in the Zone

The three keys to accelerating success, in any dimension of your life, is to choose to create:

Since you are the master of your destiny, you absolutely can create each of these elements. The quality of your choices will determine your success at creating these three states.

When you choose to put yourself consistently in the zone, you will regularly have life experiences that are truly extraordinary. You will enjoy better health. You will experience greater happiness. You will achieve a level of financial rewards far beyond what you reasonably thought as possible. And, you will experience a quality of life that will amaze you.
