Why would I want to write another article on success? There is so much out there already. I have so many books on my shelves that deal with success and how to be successful. My biggest problem with much of the topic is that it deals with things outside of who you are as a person. Much of what is written deals with action steps, things you need to do, in order to be successful. While action is important, I believe action will not work if you don't have the internal fortitude to support it. So for that reason, I'm venturing into the success conversation with these points.
Stop putting up with things
Anything that drains your energy sabotages your success. Stop putting up with anything in your life, whether its a squeaky door or an abusive relationship. Anything that you put up with holds space in your mind and detracts your mind from being focused on your success.
Don't leave things hanging
Find closure to anything and everything in your life. Whether its a project that is unfinished or a relationship that needs to have closure, find a way to complete everything that you still have hanging. Anything that is still left undone in your life has power over you and detracts from your ability to be successful.
Simplify and simplify some more
What can I say here. Simplify your life. When things are simple, they are easy. When things are easy, they get done. When things are done, you are successful. Look for ways that you can simplify your life today!
Become fully grounded in who you are
When you know who you are, you lose fear. When you lose fear, anything is possible. When anything is possible, you succeed. Take time to learn who you are and understand that the world needs your unique voice. Be confident and really know who you are.
Know what matters to you
Don't try to be everything to everyone. Know what matters most for you and pursue that. Focus on what matters most for you and let someone else take care of the other things. Success comes from expressing who you truly are and this can only come from knowing what really matters to you.
Continuously improve and learn
There are only two forces in the world: one is expanding and growing, while the other is contracting and dying. You see this in nature all around you. If you are constantly learning and improving yourself then you are allowing success to be a friend to you.
Focus on your strengths
Your strengths are what make you great while your weaknesses hold you back. If you focus on those things that make you great, success is at your doorstep. Focusing on your weaknesses only keeps you mired in stress and toil.
Have reserves
When you have reserves in all areas of your life (financial, health, friends, etc... ) your energy is not stuck on lack. When you're not stuck on lack, opportunities present themselves throughout your life. Opportunities are the prequel of success.
Balance
Consider a bicycle. How smoothly would you be able to ride a bike if its wheel was not round and balanced? Consider all areas of your life: financial, relationships, spirituality, fun, career, etc... If you do not have these areas in balance, how smoothly do you think your journey would be?
Continuously polish and clean
I know that its commonly held that the only two sure things in life are death and taxes, but I believe that we could add another to that list - change. Life is continuously changing. If you do not continuously polish yourself, clean away those things that no longer serve you, you will find that success is difficult to maintain. Constantly get rid of those things that no longer serve you.
How To Take The Next Step
Do you want to create your dream life and have all that your heart desires without all the stress and setbacks you're currently experiencing? YOU CAN DO IT!
