[...] If you decide to devote this time, energy and concentration to these endeavors consistently, then you should indeed meet with success. [...]

(The recording of the session was very successful.)

[...] We tried for physical effects without success. [...]

[...] These can exist whether or not the course itself seems advantageous, and can even overshadow the benefits [that] a successful course might have given, in those terms … Though it would seem, then, that you have made errors, the errors in themselves are creative, and have brought about unforeseen probabilities that now enrich — and also change — your original course.

[...] Am I a success or a failure?” But when you do so, you often ask the question through the cast of old conventional beliefs. If you ask “Is the world a better place to live because I live?” or “Have I helped the people in the world in any way?” or “Have I lifted men’s hearts or minds in any way?” or “Have I affected others for the better?” then those answers must be yes, and there is no better measure of true success. [...]

[...] All of this cut directly across some of your ideas about success in usual terms, and your abilities fit together in different ways than you originally planned.

[...] Seth now spoke about some remarks I had made earlier today, concerning my poor success in remembering my dreams and projections over a period of months now.)

The identification no longer exists, and he realized today that his success is not dependent (underlined) upon the dream book for once and all, you see. [...]

[...] The glowing reports we heard and read about successful joint-replacement operations meant little to her. [...] Somebody at the hospital —I forget who—told us that joint replacements for the fingers and/or knuckles usually weren’t all that successful: The bones in the hands were pretty small and delicate. [...]

His success practice is coming along exceptionally well, much better than the relaxation exercises. [...]

The success exercises are also teaching him how to focus his energy without strong conscious deliberation. [...]

(“Will the book on idea construction be successful?”)

[...] We had also been wondering how successful we would be at resuming this contact when next we tried.

[...] With her successes and failures Jane leads the way for many, even while she and I keep trying to learn more. [...]

When you pursue new avenues, there are no such easy ways to assess success or failure (intently). [...]

Next to that kind of achievement, conventional ideas of success or failure are literally ludicrous in basic terms, though I understand the hold that cultural beliefs can still have upon you.

[...] You are a success in lines that can be felt by the world but not measured. [...]

[...] “What’s the matter,” I asked her after supper tonight, “do you feel guilty because you think you deserted your mother?” I explained that I felt self-punishment, a feeling of unworthiness, self-doubt and mistrust must lie at the root of her symptoms—that she felt she must pay a price for each success, like the publishing of a book. [...]

(Perhaps it was no coincidence that before supper tonight Jack Joyce visited to discuss how much we should pay quarterly on our estimated NY State tax for 1981 — another success story that must be paid for? [...]

[...] First of all, in the line concerning your emotions, the meaning is this; that you turned the basic emotional feelings from the mother, as is necessary, transferring them to your wife successfully.

[...] It exists for you, now, not on your part because of the successful transference, but on the part of your mother. [...]

[...] I have not been successful, at least not that I know of yet, and I think of a wall too that I can’t get out of.”

[...] You have a more solid framework now than you had earlier and you have gotten over successfully several pitfalls into which you could have fallen. [...]

[...] In those areas where you have not been effectively successful, you often seem faced with evidence to the contrary—and that evidence can appear to be quite concrete, because it is of course reinforced daily.

[...] They were dropped into the water, the realm of Ruburt’s fears, by a young man who represented an earlier self who thought success was a male prerogative. [...]

[...] The part of the self responsible for the fears was the part that thought success a male prerogative, so that the woman had to exert extra discipline. [...]

[...] Do remind him of his success in this and other areas, for the feeling and reality of success can and will be carried over.

[...] The cold, however, did not interfere with her giving a long and very successful session last Saturday evening for Claire Crittenden and Pat Norelli. [...]

[...] Our cousin of Richelieu over here, however, did, and the message was repeated the following evening with a noted lack of success as far as memory was concerned. [...]

[...] They bring success.

[...] You are both becoming therefore more responsible as a result of your successes.

I recommend most strongly that you use the same procedure; success would allow you to do ten times as well in the available time as is usual. [...]
