The Reason Behind Every Why?
Is there a reason for your current circumstances?
Everything happens for a reason. Despite how it seems, coincidences simply do not exist. Each seeming coincidence has within it a seed of reason. Consequences come attached to the actions that cause them – there are no coincidences. What you reap is what you sow!
If you’re not getting what you expected from life, ask yourself what it is you need to do better, or different, to achieve what you want. Do you follow through on your promises? Are you honest? Do you show a true interest in people, especially those you are working with? Do you treat others, as you would like them to treat you? Have you secretly given up hope, simply because you failed once before? Are you afraid to begin your new assignment, doubtful you will be successful? Do you focus on people’s faults, telling them what bothers you about them, when in fact you are jealous and wish you were more like them?
In addition and most important – are you honest with yourself? Do you think of yourself the way you think about others? Do you love yourself like you love others? Do you feel you are worthy of everything you desire?
Life always gives you what you are looking for.
Success is a consequence of belief, so be careful what you believe as it will surely come true!
Even if you are lucky today, this isn’t a coincidence. Where you are today is not a coincidence. Ask yourself what you want from your life.
Is what you are doing today what you want to do forever?
Is your family life everything you hoped it would be?
Do you take enough time for you or have time for your hobbies?
Are You Willing To Accept A Higher Altitude of Flying?
All of us have got dreams we aspire to attain in our lives. These dreams come from people who inspire us. We may dream of making $15,000 a month, owning a sports car and living in a million dollar mansion. At the same time, based on our beliefs, we also have what I call our ‘Altitude of Acceptance’.
This Altitude means that though you may aspire to earn $20,000 a month, you are willing to accept earning $2000 a month. Although you would love to live in a million dollar house, you are quite willing to settle for a small apartment. Although you would love to be at an ideal weight of 72kg, you are willing to live life at 90kg.
Our self-image is what determines our level of expectation and level of acceptance in life.
Would you like to make a guess which level we would tend most to gravitate towards? That’s right. We always get what we are willing to accept.
Unless we raise our acceptance levels, we will never do what is necessary to achieve our goals. So, for example if you want to make more money, you have to raise your standards of what you are willing to accept.
Should or MUST: Assess your goals
Are your goals a ‘Must’ or a ‘Should’?
For most people, achieving success in anything is rarely a must.They would like to lose weight, but it’s not a must. They would love to make more money, but they won’t die without it. They wish they could take charge of their lives, but they could live without it.
The moment something becomes a ‘should’ instead of a ‘must’, you will rarely achieve it. You will always find a way to put it off or to quit the moment you meet resistance.People like Sylvester Stallone, Steven Spielberg or Donald Trump who achieve success are not born more focused, more disciplined or more lucky than the average person. What makes them different is that they make their goals a must for themselves.
They are not willing to accept anything less than the best.
So let me ask you a question.
Are your dreams and goals an ABSOLUTE MUST or are they just weak desires that you can live without?
Have you been truly committed to do whatever it takes in the past or are you ‘should’-ing all over yourself?
Decades in Days: Learn from the mistakes of others
I once heard this expression and it really had an impact on me. The term ‘decades in days’ refers to the fact that you can take literally decades of experience from someone else’s mistakes… and learn them in days.
You see, the very best minds in the world today and from the past usually have some record of what they’ve learnt, and how they got there. This may take the form of a book they’ve written, a program they’ve recorded or a seminar they’ve produced.
All it means is that it would take save you literally decades of going through all the mistakes yourself.
So, you must become a student of successful people. Study human psychology and success. It’s never taught in schools or universities, but it is crucial to understand how the mind works before you can begin to gain control over it.
When you start to understand how your inner programs are run, you will have the arsenal to begin re-programming your money-related programs, and tangible results will start to appear in your life.
Great Questions for the Self
If you’re entire life had to be lived in one day, how would you live that day?
How would you behave differently if you were worth $100 Million?
If you could only have one car for the rest of your life, would you take care of it? Would you make any changes now that you know you’ve only got one physical vehicle (your body) for life?
If you knew that life gave you only 4000 weeks, and by age 30 you’d used up nearly 1600 weeks, what would this week look like?
