Firstly remember
that anything you pursue will always elude you. So remove the thought of
pursuing success from your mind. The way to invite any level of SUCCESS into your experience is by
first accepting that “If it is to be
then, it is up to me” and adopting this as your new adage. Secondly you
must decide what success actually means to you and why achieving it is
important to you. Once you have clarified these in your mind, you will be
certain that what you are trying to achieve is actually aligned with what you
really want and you will have the resilience to overcome the inevitable
obstacles which will be placed in your path.
Action Idea: Once you are
clear on what you want to achieve and why it is important to you, create a crystal
clear vision for the future, using this picture of possibility, as the
foundation to create it. Make sure you write your vision down and read it every
day, as it will serve as your guide, which offers you direction into the
future.
Who do you need to become
Instead of
blustering forward and looking for what you need to do, to enjoy the success
you desire. Try a different approach this time and look at your vision and
instead ask a different question. Ask yourself who you need to become to
attract the level of success you desire into your life? Remember you attract
success by the person you become. Once you identify who you need to be to
attract the success you desire and you invest energy and effort into becoming
that person, you will gradually see your life transform and the success you
desire will flow into your experience.
Set Goals and Take Action
Ensure that you
create a set of goals, which will keep you on track, guiding you to become the
type of person you need to be and to list all the things you want to achieve,
to enjoy the success you desire. As soon as you have clarity on what you want,
you need to convert these into action lists. These are lists, which when acted upon
daily, will over time allow you to achieve all your goals. The secret to make
this work for you is to have a daily routine, which ensures that you carry out
at least five actions every day.
Measure your Performance
Your own internal
measurements are always the most crucial, when it comes to assessing how you
are doing, but to remain focused and get the full picture, you will also need
to look beyond yourself and seek external feedback from your environment and
the people around you, as you take action daily and progress towards achieving
your goals. The challenge when looking for feedback from the people around you
is to choose the people, who will offer you feedback very carefully. The people
you choose must always have your best interests at heart and be interested in
seeing you succeed.
You will not get
reliable feedback form fair weather friends, competitive peers, or anyone who
does not want to see you succeed or who does not have your best interests at
heart. Make sure the people you select to assist you and offer feedback are in
your camp, but at the same time are objective and honest. Don’t allow yourself
to be distracted by people who are jealous of your newfound success. Only pay
attention to feedback from people who are on a similar path to you and who have
similar goals to your own and who are actively working daily to achieve their
own goals.
Take Responsibility and you will Succeed
As I said before
adapt the adage of “If it is to be, it
is up to me”. Accept 100 % responsibility for everything in your life and
commit to take inspired goal specific action daily and nothing will be able to
stop you from achieving what you desire.
Finally, always
remember that no one else’s expectations or opinions really matter; even the
people who you trust to offer you reliable feedbacks are ultimately only giving
you their opinion. How you choose to use the information is always up to you.
Learn to trust and believe in yourself and always allow your opinion to take
precedence over anyone else’s and success is inevitable.
