There is a fine line between failure and success it is so fine sometimes we scarcely know when we pass it, it is so fine that we are often on that line and don't know it many a person has throwed up her hand when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.
The first thing to determine is what success means to you . What is your life gravitating toward comfort or towards growth?
John Maxwell said that everyday you are doing the right thing you are being a success it just hasn't shown up yet. It's just a matter of time, success is a process and the secret is in your daily agenda.
Exercise
- If you had 10 times more confidence and nothing could stand in your way what would you do?
- Make a list of all the things that are obstacles for you having that.
- Identify what your values are. Don't procrastinate, or turn on the tv, or read the paper when you are suppose to be running or building a business. You have to do income producing activities
We have to live our life on purpose it's not about material things, it has to be something bigger than you, an when we align our purpose with our life then you can look at everything that comes in your pathway. You can ask does this get me to my purpose and if it doesn't then that gives you permission to say NO. Therefore you can stay on track with your purpose you only want to do things that get you to your purpose or align with your purpose
One successful trait of successful people they see opportunity where others don't.
A peak performer makes it a point to add value to others despite circumstances around them. They are always other focus. Difficulties create pressure which shapes us into people of character and compassion that you will need to go to the next level. How many goals would you accomplish if you weren't afraid to try?Every time you stare down a fear and you press forward toward your goal you become more powerful. When obstacles come your way it will seem easier to give up when this happens ask yourself how am I going to live with myself if I don't pursue my dream. Cause good is not good enough you want great for yourself.
Get passed self imposed limits records will be broken. John Maxwell says that when we are from 0 to 7 ages the key question we ask is WHY from 7 to 17 ages we ask WHY NOT and from 17 to 80 years of age we ask BECAUSE and that's because we all screw up and our brain is the best computer out there and it never fails to remind us.
