I just want to talk right now about what success really means to me.
Success to me is total happiness!
It's all about being happy! Whether it's seeing your favorite movie, drinking your favorite wine, relaxing by the beach and listening to the waves break, eating that red velvet cupcake, or having a pillow fight with your hubby, true success is whatever it is that makes you happy.
The happier you are, the more successful you can become. Money, rewards, accolades and everything else will chase your happiness.
When you are happy your worries fade away. You are grateful, appreciative, and aware of all the blessing you have. You are thankful for your life, family, friends, and health. When you are happy you sleep well at night. You are at total peace.
So just as I ask many of the successful people I've been able to work with, I ask you as well; What do you consider success to be and do you think you have achieved it yet? If so how did you get there and if not what is keeping you from getting to where you want to be? The answer almost 100% of the time is they achieved success by fulfilling their passion, pursuing what makes them happy.
People who are unhappy complain and say "I haven't been successful because I am not making money" or "I don't have the resources to jumpstart my success." You have to remember that everyone starts at the bottom and that overnight success is actually a process!!
So whats the difference between those that are successful and those that are still sitting on their coach complaining about why their situation hasn't changed?
It's in the action steps. You have to visualize where you want to be, set goals, and chip away at it bit by bit.
If you want a successful business but don't have the funds, build on a budget, start small. It may take you longer to get there but you will get there none-the-less. And if you really want it, I mean really want it you'll find a way and you will be happy while working through your challenges.
It really comes down to this...How bad to you want it. How bad is your desire to be happy! If the desire is big enough and you are dedicated and committed, you'll get what you want. Where there is a will there is absolutely a way and if other people have started from nothing and become wildly successful why can't you?
So always remember, success is doing a little bit over an extended period of time, being consistent and enjoying the journey. Do the same thing everyday, working toward your goals and you will get there...that's how athletes become great, that's how basketball legends are made. By practicing everyday, getting stronger, faster, more accurate over time.
So go out there and claim your happiness and claim your success.
