Through an introduction shaped by confrontation and personal storytelling, it argues that withholding helpful truth due to others’ hardship signals a lack of belief.

What I didn’t know was that his in-laws  \nhad just suffered terrible loss. The unfortunate turn of events had hurt him deeply and he was still in a reactionary mindset. As with most people who are reactionary, in order to protect what they do not understand they must fight against what they do not believe.  \nBefore I had the opportunity to say anything, he was “in my face”launching a reasonably controlled but deliberate attack.“I’d like to see you sell this to people in third world countries who are starving!” he blasted.  \nAfter a five-minute tirade I was finally able to respond,“I have shared this in third world countries—and it worked!”  \nTwo things about success that we must realize are first, the principles of success are immutable, and second, success is relative. Immutable laws work anywhere with anyone, anytime! Although there are many relative factors that affect the application, the laws are absolute. No two people facing the same situation share all the same factors. There are always variables. Those variables do not change the destination, however; they only change the journey!  \nThe principles of success are immutable.  \nWhen we feel we have something that will help people and then withhold it because of the magnitude of their need, it is only evidence that we really don’t believe what we are saying.  \nI shared the following story with my upset friend. Several years ago while working in Mexico, I was introduced to a family that lived in a drainage pipe just outside the compound where I was lodging. They had small children and lived in deplorable lack. They attended one of the conferences conducted in the small village aimed at people living in destitute situations. One of my topics was success and prosperity.  \nThe greatest injustice I could have done to that family was to look at their circumstances and withhold the truth that could change their world. I knew they would be challenged. I knew their ego would be touched. But I also knew that every man faces his ego when confronting the confines of the life for which he has settled. But I was confident in the power of the truth that, when believed in the human heart, will transform any person in any situation. When we feel we have something that will help people and then withhold it because of the magnitude of their need, it is only evidence that we really don’t believe what we are saying.  \nSome might argue,“Do you realize how offensive it would be to tell people in lack they could have a better life?” Of course I do! But I also realize it is wrong thinking, based on destructive beliefs, that is actually holding those people in their current circums","cbCairK9Bi7c79LW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairK9Bi7c79LW","pdf",998764,192,"English","# Introduction\n## Chapter 1: Wired for Success\n## Chapter 2: Redefining Success\n## Chapter 3: Holistic Success\n## Chapter 4: A World of Abundance\n## Chapter 5: The Cultural Trance\n## Chapter 6: Learning to Fail\n## Chapter 7: Coping With Failure\n## Chapter 8: Is Success Supposed to Be Hard?\n## Chapter 9: Learning to Succeed\n## Chapter 10: A Journey Into the Unknown\n## Chapter 11: Rules for Transformation\n## Chapter 12: Why I Resist Change\n## Chapter 13: Expanding Your Financial Boundaries\n## Chapter 14: Creating Sustainable Success\n## Chapter 15: Controlling the Process\n## Chapter 16: Failure Feelings\n## Chapter 17: Identifying Boundaries\n## Chapter 18: Capturing Inspiration\n## Chapter 19: Creating a New Normal\n## Chapter 20: Resetting Your Thermostat\n## Chapter 21: Following the Way of Peace\n## Chapter 22: The Ultimate Cultural Corruption\n## Chapter 23: Changing the World Through Success\n## Chapter 24: Journey to the Center of Your World\n## Chapter 25: A Comprehensive Approach\n# Endnotes\n# Appendix A: Personal Success Inventory\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"What is the central claim about success principles in the book?\",\"answer\":\"The book states that the principles of success are immutable and work anywhere, while relative factors change how those principles are applied in each journey.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do people often get offended when confronted with truth?\",\"answer\":\"When a person’s accepted beliefs are challenged, ego defense mechanisms activate, making offense more likely; however, that same truth can set many others free.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the introduction illustrate the relationship between belief and helping others?\",\"answer\":\"It describes situations where helpful truth is withheld because of the perceived magnitude of need, framing that restraint as evidence the speaker may not truly believe the message.\"}]","Wired for Success - Programmed for Failure - James Richards | PDF",296]
