What are the Keys to Success?

Hello Everyone:

How does one evaluate success? Is success measured by how much money one makes or is it measured by what one has done by serving their community or is it raising healthy, intelligent and upstanding children. When was the last time you acknowledged yourself for all the great accomplishments and strides that you have taken on this magical journey of your so called life?

Inquiring minds like to know. What are the keys to success? Two days ago I wrote a blog post titled “Are You Following Too Many Gurus? It’s Time to Take Action”. Sometimes we feel that we are not ready to share our gift with others until someone says YOU ARE READY or is given permission by others. Bottom line is if you are not out there, who is going to know about all your gifts, talents, and capabilities that the divine has given you. How are you going to share this gift with others. Here are the 7 Keys to Success. 

1) Take Action Every Day to get Closer to your Goal/Dream-  This is a crucial factor. Are you going to step in fully and play the game? It’s no use sitting on the sidelines and waiting for someone to hand things over to you. Maybe if you were born into a wealthy family or an heir to the throne. Remember you are in charge of your own life and destiny.

2) There are no mistakes- Everything happens for a reason. This is a learning experience. So, when we have one setback or even several, we can always go back to the drawing board and redesign. Next time around, things will get better. Great way to get noticed by others. You are here for a purpose.

3) Being Flexible- Being open to new experiences is key. You never know who you might meet. Many of us are stuck in one mode of thinking or doing things our way. There are so many pathways to get from Point A to Point B. Trying something different is not going to kill you. Like walking five blocks instead of driving. Looking for a different solution to the same problem. This opens one up to more creativity and postive energy flowing.

4) Building a Dream Team- Having positive supportive people in your life is a good thing. Why should we surround ourselves with sad, angry and miserable people because we deserve to have a harsh and miserable life too. You have a choice with whom you associate and spend your precious time with. Build your dream team by including mentors, positive individual and groups who want to see you succeed. Stay clear or minimize time from the “Woe Ways Me” or those “surrounded by a dark cloud” or others “who blame everyone for their misery aside from themselves.”. Wonder why they have no friends? Negative people love to have sounding boards where they can dump their negativity. You are zapped and your head starts throbbing. While they say to you “Thanks for listening and you made me feel better.” Does that ring a bell.

5) Are living on purpose and passionately- What is your purpose in life? Do you live for your children? Do you wake up every morning feeling passionate about the difference you are going to make in other people’s lives? Ask yourself. If you are not aligned and living on purpose, then you need to step back and find out what is missing. There must be a happy medium or one is prone to burnout or stagnation.

6) Sharing the wealth/knowledge- In this individualistic and materialistic society, you think by winning the most toys. You win the game. Those who are chasing the mighty dollar will always be chasing for more and will never get enough. What’s next? The reality is when we are dearly departed from this scared earth. What do you want be remembered for?

It’s all about giving and sharing the wealth.  What is your legacy. Did you help build a village? Did you help others grow their business. Did you teach someone how to fish and they taught the masses.

7) Grattitude is Key- What are you grateful for? Is it your family, friends or your health? It’s the littlest things that matters the most in life. People coming in contact and sharing an exchange. The stranger that passes you buy and says you have a beuatiful smile. Life is amazing. Just be open and see the possibilities.
