I have always been intrigued by what makes “successful” people successful and what specifically did they do differently in order to achieve their success. I believe that success is completely subjective, and everyone defines and achieves it differently. The number 413 was inspired by the Bible verse Philippians 4:13 which states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” My interpretation of this verse is that with the right balance of determination, diligence, and dedication, I can achieve anything I put my mind to. 2⃣What?: The social project titled “413 Ways to be Successful” is simply an interactive effort that starts with a blank slate in the form of a journal. The empty journal full of pages represents an empty mind freshly awaiting new ideas.</p> <p>3⃣How?: People can use the journals to write their own creative lists of ways they can become successful, document their goals and progress, or simply use them to write down any creative ideas that come to mind. The benefits that come with keeping a personal journal are limitless. I believe writing things down is an essential part of being creative, productive, and successful. After you purchase your journal, you can share your personal perspective about 413 Ways to be successful by submitting pictures of your writings through social media under the hashtag #413Ways and compare with others around the world. — I am still working on the 413 Ways to be Successful compilation book which will consist of literally 413 success tips that should apply to everyone no matter their definition of success. 👉Learn more @ kevinclaiborne.com (Also you should follow the people tagged in this photo because they are very creative, positive thinking entrepreneurs with genuine words & they always keep it 💯 when they speak) peace (at Le Georges V)</p>http://rubin2.tumblr.com/post/50985930357http://rubin2.tumblr.com/post/50985930357Tue, 21 May 2013 08:46:48 -0400413ways<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c3d1478c336b43587b4923416ba4e2ae/tumblr_mn40ylvwIN1qinfuoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In case you didn’t know: The social project and interactive journal “#413Ways to be Successful” was created to change the way people define, perceive, and achieve success.
