Today and everyday people are wanting to be more successful. What is it that so many of us miss out on success? Why is everyone not a success? Why am I not a success? Striving to be a success is a struggle for many of us out in the World, but it doesn’t have to be. Success can only be defined by you and you alone. Success does not have to be a huge under taking, it could be as simple as making someone’s day better or making your daughter smile. Success is a feeling of accomplishment, but that accomplishment is defined by YOU!
In your journey to be a success there are several ways to give you a little kick start. Don’t try to eat an elephant whole, take a few bites at a time. Success is a process that takes time and effort to accomplish, but it is not hard if you are focused and determined.
Ways to be SUCCESSFUL today!
1. Take action! For many people, the missing link to success is the lack of taking action. To be a success you must do something, don’t just think about it. It is not enough to want to be a success or wish to be a success, you must do something about it. If you want to be a star athlete, start working hard than everyone else. If you want to be the best salesman, train, read, attend seminars, do what ever it takes to make it happen! Make taking action a habit and you will always get more done, feel better, and be an amazing SUCCESS!
2. Be a visionary! If you can not picture and clearly see you thoughts of success, how will achieve it. When you have a mental picture of success you set the universe in motion to help you achieve it. It is critical that you know what you want. Formulate a plan to achieve it and make sure you let yourself know that you will not only achieve it but surpass it. It is all about focus and vision. Are you a visionary? If your answer is no, get started formulating a mental image of exactly what it is you want. Focus on the big picture and all the tiny details that it will take. Keep that picture deep in your thoughts and focus on it daily.
3. Take personal responsibility! So many people today want to put the blame on someone or something else. If you are not a success the only one to blame is looking at you in the mirror. Own your problems, admit they are YOUR problems, and then take the necessary steps to correct them. If you never admit to yourself that YOU are part of the problem you will never fully be a success.
4. Be honest, fair and have integrity! Basically those three traits are wrapped into being AUTHENTIC. Truly authentic people are pretty rare these days, so when you find one be sure to stick close with them. With it being an election year we are seeing plenty of example on what not to be. I truly believe in the American way of living, but it does bother me how low politics and politicians have sunk in this great country. Being authentic will attract others that are authentic. The better people you hang around, work with, and socialize with, the more successful you will be. The next time your authenticity is tested, show everyone the power of authentic people!
5. Use affirmations religiously! The power of affirmations are amazing. An affirmation can be used any where, any time, and in any situation. They are simple, easy, and very effective. Here are some tips, from Todd Goldfarb, to make your affirmations effective and life changing (check out his article “How to break out of bad habits using affirmations”):
1. Make the statements concise yet clear
2. Always state them in the present tense (e.g. do not affirm “I am going to quit smoking” because that implies the future and levies current responsibility).
3. Always state them in the positive
4. Write them down on note cards first, and make sure you are really comfortable with the words you are choosing
5. Be emotionless—remember you don’t even need to believe in the words you are saying for affirmations to work
6. Do them every day, no matter how you feel, stick with it!
You can be a SUCCESS Today!!!
