I am a strong believer in success coming from proper information and
execution. Many people struggle with the idea of success for the lack of
ONE thing. The very thing that keeps so many people from succeeding is
incredibly simple and when I tell you what it is, you will find it
simple to the point of almost being silly. However, I find that the most
profound things in life are actually the most simple things that we an
adhere to and DO.
OK here it is: Most people are not successful
simply because they have not had an example of success. They simple do
not know what success looks like.
Isn’t that interesting? I think its very interesting.
So I am going to list and discuss 3 of the major components for people
who have not had an example of success. These are things that successful
people do, if they are conscious of it or not. Every success you see is
based in these 3 things. It doesn’t matter WHAT success you are looking
for, they all live in these principles. Don’t worry, they are also very
simple.
1. Unequivocal Belief In Yourself
This is
certainly easier said than done, but it is certainly extremely important
in you journey for success of any type. No master piano player learns
how to play the piano without believing they will eventually learn how
fully master playing the piano. Records are broken almost every day
because the record breaker believes and sees the record as immaterial,
nothing to focus on. But they focus on themselves and breaking the
record, and they do. It isn’t a new concept but it is one that we
forget. You MUST learn how to believe in yourself in being able
accomplish ANYTHING, no matter how hard it may seem, or how hard it may
ACTUALLY be. We are all greater than our circumstances, but we have to
be constantly reminded of it. So here is your reminder, Believe in
yourself with all the power you can muster, and trust me, that is a lot!
2. Conscious decision to succeed
Who knows the famous quote "A Journey of 1000 miles starts with one
step"? Yes I know it is a bit cliche at this point, but the principle
that it supports is universal and unending and also un-clicheable, yes I
just made up and word and yes you can use it! But the point is this:
Even before you MAKE that first step on your new journey, you have to do
something in a secret place that no one else knows of and has no map
to. That is your mind. You must in YOUR mind, decide to take the first
step into whatever it is you want to accomplish, even if that is first
learning how to approach your journey. Your foot will not move to take
that first step until you decide you want to take that step. That will
lead you into doing more and trying more. Have confidence in yourself
and take steps. But you must have made the decision to succeed to even
begin to try to succeed. The decision is the greatest power that man
possesses. If you want to be more, do more, or have more, simply decide
to experience it first, and you will be lead to success. It is not a
promise of right now, but it is a promise.
3. Continuous Learning
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT ever stop learning, EVER.
The only thing that keeps a person from being ever successful is lack
of knowledge. If you want to argue that then I pose this question. If
you knew how to make a million dollars right now this very moment. Would
you? Even if you lie and say no, the answer is YES! You see we as
humans suffer from being complacent because we think someone ELSE has
the inside track, the secret formula, etc. This is partly true, but
mostly the information or track that they have access to is NOT secret.
It’s just in a damn BOOK! Ha! We often forget that just about all
knowledge of from all time as been recorded in some form in a book.
Those books are available to you. We have to make a conscious decision
to pick up a book on a subject and pour through it until have a good
idea of what to expect. Even better, we should pick up 10-15+ books on
the subject and gain as much perspective on it as possible. This is
where power lives. We desire ever more in our lives but we often do not
desire the very thing that can grant us our ever valid desires. You can
learn how to do just about anything with the proper set of books. This
has been true since the book was invented. Desire for success comes from
the desire to learn about the success we are attempting. Don’t even try
anything without learning about it first. It will benefit you greatly,
and embarrass you a lot less! So continue to learn and continue to
remember to learn. Everything is learn-able.
