What is Success?
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.” Ayn Rand.
Everyone wants success in at least some if not all areas of their life. And because success means different things to different people, your idea of success will be different from my idea of success and from anyone else’s, but the fact remains that you, just like everyone else, wants to be successful.
You may be looking for success in business, in relationships, in your health, in your body image, in sales, in confidence and personal skills, in your ability to influence others, AND you may find that it eludes you wherever you look and however hard you try.
But you know, success is really quite simple once you understand how your mind creates the results you see in your life!
So what makes the difference in being successful, and being unsuccessful or even in being mediocre?
To achieve outstanding results we must start with a realisation that each of us is responsible for the life that we have, that we attract into our lives the things that we focus on the most, and if we do not like the life that we have or the results we are seeing, then it is up to us to change it.
Anyone has the ability to become successful in whatever area of life they choose to focus on. It is really as simple as adopting certains beliefs, attitudes and behaviours that will guarantee that your life can move rapidly from one of quiet desperation to a dynamic, fun and fabulous existence that most people think is reserved for the lucky few.
You know, we all share one thing in common with every single successful person on the globe – and that is we are all human beings, with a marvelous brain and the capacity to change our reality in line with our goals and our dreams.
And there are very specific strategies, habits and skills that anyone can adopt and that are guaranteed to ensure you get the success you deserve – the first step is a decision. Decide today to create a life of your own design. Or not – and you do get to choose.
