They aren't absolute necessities, but I do find they help. Quite often that the more intelligent people tend to be more successful, but there is always a Mike Tyson to throw off the curve. Intelligence is not found in just one stroke of the pen, it is a combination of many various strokes and speed and rhythm, etc. (In fact, for a complete discussion on intelligence you might want to listen to the Audio portion of our Certification Home Study Course). We have found that people who make quicker decisions have needle point M's and N's. Like the example of Donald Trump's handwriting. He's incredibly bright and intelligent. On the other hand, there are very successful men and women with more round, fluffy handwriting.  These people have more of a cumulative procedural type of thinking, but intelligent none the less. (Thomas Edison for example) Thomas Edison Also, a sense of rhythm can contribute to intelligence. The better your spacing between words, the more consistent your handwriting, the better your sense of rhythm. Rhythm adds intelligence. Truthfully, intuition is also a sign of intelligence and a lot of people are not familiar with the concept of intuition as a part of intelligence. But remember, intelligence is processing information and coming up with a good decision. Intuition is a 6th sense; it's taking information from your gut feeling. Research indicates that people who do follow their gut feeling, in addition to well researched advice, often make better decision makers. In fact, after interviews with some of the top executives, many of their best hiring decision are made by "going by their gut." Intuition is shown in handwriting by frequent lifts of the pen, rather than solid connected handwriting. Interesting. CONCLUSION It's not easy to become a millionaire... or is it? It takes a strong belief about what you're doing and the ability to overcome any and all obstacles in your way. What you can't tell from handwriting is someone's belief system about money, success, the government, their parents, etc. What do they believe about the world? One of the most significant books that I've read and has changed my belief systems is by Stewart Wilde. He wrote a book entitled "The Trick to Money is Having Some." I highly recommend you read it. One of the fundamentals is that you have a core belief that the world is abundant and there is plenty of money flowing around. Now that goes hand in hand with the philosophy of the Bible that says you must give to receive and you reap what you sow. You treat people as you would have them treat you. Life is an ever-changing flow of energy. But if you literally had unlimited funds, unlimited money... ask yourself this question; "Would you make different decisions?" Would you give to the needy? Would you spend more money on vacations? Would you choose different friends? Would you buy better food and better clothes all because you knew there is an abundance of money? Would you spend your time differently? By asking yourself these questions and living as if you had abundance already, it sets your mind and the universe "in a state of abundance." Surprisingly, when you are in a state of abundance, you create more abundance.  Now, as this relates to handwriting analysis, I'd encourage you to go ahead and adopt the positive traits now. I know they work because when I was just 15 years old I began changing my handwriting. In less than a month, I noticed a substantial change in my level of confidence, and that rolled over into the grades that I made, the people that I spent time with, the quality of my relationship with my parents, etc. In the coming years, every area of my life changed dramatically for the better. The first thing I changed was raising the cross bar on my T. Then, I changed other traits accordingly until I grew into the man I wanted to be. If you are just interested in grapho-therapy, please read the special report called  "How Changing Your Handwriting Changes Your Life" It is available on a adobe pdf format with illustrations  or  just CUT TO THE MEAT of the situation and ORDER the Change Your Handwriting Change Your Life Workbook now.  For a full description of the workbook see http://www.myhandwriting.com/change/chlf30dy.html   In conclusion, adapt the traits that work for you. Persistence, means once you get your mind set on a worthy goal, you work until you get it. Determination brings you more energy and high self-esteem and high goals. One final trait which many most successful people have.... is big sex drives. This does not mean that in order to make money you have to have sex.  What it does mean is the same part of the brain that creates energy, drive and ambition is the same part that leads to sexual adventure. So if you find yourself needing to travel, leaning to exercise, getting restless and bored easily, it's a very similar trait that drives people to achieve. The same part of the brain is responsible.  So ladies, you can blame his brain for his wandering eyes! Becoming a successful leader, entrepreneur, or just plain old multi-millionaire is so much more complex than we could possibly get into in this short article. I want to encourage you that your personality and your character are intrinsically essential in becoming successful, both financially and in other areas of your life. So cross your T bar high, underline your name and have lots of success. Bart Baggett Any questions? Call our office: 1-800-398-2278 in North America.
