Success is a personal definition. You define your own success. But
how do you get there? Your success might be losing 20 pounds,
making $5,000.00 a month, finding a loving spouse or living in a
mansion. However you define it, the path to achieve it is the same
for everyone.
Not all people
who achieve success know how they got there. People who have
figured out that one little secret can achieve success multiple
times; over and over again. They can stop smoking and lose weight
at the same time – an almost impossible feat. They can lose
millions and go on to make billions (Donald Trump). They are not
different from you, they only practice one secret that you don’t
know yet.
And yet, you may
have the secret and not fully utilize it. Many people talk about,
or hear, the secret but don’t put it into practice. The concept is
at the heart of many movies, books, radio programs and church
services. You can even interpret the secret in some billboards.
Hearing it and
‘knowing’ it are two different things.
Have you ever had
an “UH-HUH!” moment; when something you’ve heard for weeks finally
makes sense and you understand how it affects your world.
Understanding this secret is a lot like that. You’ve probably heard
it. You know people who use it. But you don’t know how to put it
into practice and even worse, you don’t know that you don’t know.
So, what is that
secret? The secret is different for everyone. It is the thing that
pushes your buttons. You might not even know what it is yet. You
may be working on autopilot like so many people. But once you
discover your ‘one thing’ you have the ability to harness all of
your collective energy into a powerhouse that will catapult you into
whatever success you want.
Is this too
pie-in-the-sky for you? Maybe feels new-age? It isn’t. It’s a
technique that’s been used for centuries by successful people. It’s
taught in every network marketing company. It’s on radio shows,
talk shows, church sermons and billboards. It is what motivate
you. ‘It’ is personal to you.
Without ‘it’ you
won’t complete time management tasks, you won’t learn new strategies
to fulfill your destiny, you won’t take risks or learn new
techniques. You’ll continue to do what you’ve always done and get
the same results you always have.
Knowing ‘it’
empowers you to be a risk-taker. Knowing ‘it’ doesn’t make success
instantaneous but it does energize your focused actions and
clarifies your future plans. You no longer are adrift in a sea of
ideas, possibilities and problems. You are focused on your success
and a specific plan to achieve it.
There are tools
to help you find your ‘it’. The best and most powerful is to go to
a quiet place, without interruption requires physical activity; such
as going for a walk. The activity stimulates your brain and the
outdoors clears your head.
Now focus, what
is it that makes you happiest? What would you change? What do you
desperately desire? Talk aloud, there isn’t anyone there.
Brainstorm to yourself. These are important concepts and they may
not solidify in one or even two walks. But stay with it. When you
get home, write it down. Don’t focus on things but on
achievements. You don’t want lots of money but specifically to have
a million dollars.
Just because it’s
simple don’t underestimate the power of your ‘why’. This is what
drives you when you stumble, and you will stumble. No one becomes
successful without a few bumps in the road and some of those bumps
are ditches. Your ‘why’ will bring you through the trials and into
success but you have to find it first. That’s why any successful
person can articulate their ‘it’. That’s why no amount of education
and learning can sustain you when the going gets tough.
Your reason why
is personal to you. No one else can find your motivation to work
long hours and achieve your success. It comes from you. Learn that
simple secret and you are already halfway home.
