I am privileged to work with many highly successful and fulfilled people that are making a dramatic difference in our world. As uniqe as each of them are, I notice they all share nine common traits. I would like to share the nine essential elements of success.
Dream: A dream is that burning desire, the fire in the belly, you have on the inside that you feel compelled to bring to the outside and share with the world. It may start simply as a momentary glimpse of an unencumbered possibility. Nurture it and guard it as best you can from all the negative ninnies.
Desire: Desire is the jet fuel for your dreams. It is what gives you the power to take action on those dreams. Successful people know that it is something larger than them.
Vision: Vision is not a function of eyesight, but of the imagination. Only those who can peer into the invisible can do the impossible. Holding a clear and worthy vision creates a vacuum that pulls you toward it.
Right Thinking: The only difference between a rich person and a poor person is their method of thinking. A poor person thinks on things he does not want and a rich person thinks on things he or she does want. You are the only person that can do your thinking for you. No one else. Take back your power and direct your thinking.
Associations: Who you surround yourself with and listen to will determine what you get, what you have, where you go and what you accomplish in life. Associations determine your future.
Questions: Questions are the answer. Be curious and ask questions. What we know we know makes up about one or two percent of all the knowledge that exists. Of all the knowledge that exists, only another one or two percent represents what we know we don’t know. For most that’s where our comprehension of the universe ends. Questions and inquiry avail us to access the answers that exist in the remaining 95 percent we don’t even know we don’t know…yet.
Action: Action is what takes things out of the invisible realm and translates them into the physical realm. Tell me what your results are and I will tell you what your actions have been. Have the willingness to take massive action and make mistakes. If you are not making mistakes, you are not making much.
Believe: Faith is your ability to see into the invisible, grasp onto that which is incredible, and be able to do what the masses say is impossible. Faith is a knowing in your bones. It is a trust that the seed you are planting will yield the bounty. Act as if you know in your bones you will succeed; even in the face of adversity. For when you do, you avail yourself to resources seen and unseen you would otherwise bypass.
Let Go: Let Go of your thoughts that no longer serve you, your dreams, or your vision. It is the holding on to limiting thoughts that holds you back. Letting go release you to move forward and experience the life you desire.
Make it up, make it fun & make it happen!
