How can we achieve authentic success?
In order to achieve authentic success we need to make steady and persistent daily efforts! A little hard work on your chosen project every day, means you are gradually working towards your goal - with this kind of persistance you can't fail! No matter how clever you are though, intelligence alone doesn't guarantee you authentic success. Ninety percent of the world's woes comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves. Sydney J. Harris Little by little every day though - with perseverance - persistence - consistency and conviction you will win in the end! It does of course boil down to lots of hard work and determined self belief, but of course you need to balance that hard work with the rest of your life, - not that easy I know!
What does authentic success mean to you ?
Tell us what you think!
No matter how many times you get knocked down, get up again, dust your self down and never give in! Always stick to your goal and don't be bothered by what others think or say, you will always find opposition to your goal when you are working towards something worthwhile The key to your authentic success is your sheer single minded determination & conviction never to give up when the going gets tough. Effective time management is a helpful way of dividing your time up into work, play and the rest of your life. Developing basic life skills Providing a personal response to the question - What is success? You decide what you want to achieve and don't be swayed either by your own negativity or others criticism
To achieve authentic successput a guard dog in your mind!
Not a Pussy Cat! It's important to keep that guard dog firmly guarding your mind against any negative thoughts that will try to stop you!
Do you ever catch yourself wasting your time and mental energy thinking fear based thoughts, about something that's really important to you, like the success of your business or your relationship etc? and have you found yourself imagining the worst possible outcome or let your mind get totally carried away with it? Innocent thoughts maybe? but be very careful, all these negative thoughts add up to the accumulative weight of your success or failure! Cause and effect Thoughts words and deeds Everything begins with thoughts Your thoughts really do rule your life! Of course all the positive thoughts you have work for you in the same way, but are far more empowering! It takes a lot of effort to retrain your mind - tell it to just shut up and listen! The Mind can be very stubborn!
Think about your goal every day and how you will feel when you achieve it. Try not to entertain any negativity that comes up and don't be afraid of it, that just gives negativity more power. When the doubts & fears come in to your mind as they inevitably will, to try and stop you, just acknowledge them and then push them right away! By making friends with your demons you disempower them! It's only human to experience negative thoughts sometimes It's only when you believe those negative thoughts and indulge them, that you give them the power to cause havoc in your life, and wreck your chances of success. Once you start to really focus your mind on positive thoughts about yourself and what success you want to achieve, You can really make anything happen! Affirmations are a powerful way of keeping your mind focused on success!
