How to Set the Course to Success

It is such a special time in my life. I’m just coming off of another birthday and a major milestone moment in my life. I’m truly overwhelmed at all the amazing things happening. As I crossed over into a new era in my life, I have really been reflecting on my journey and what life is all about. If you have read my autobiography, then you know my journey has been one filled with adversity and failures. However, the wisdom that my experiences have produced in my life are priceless. So many people are inspired by my life and message. Therefore, I made a commitment to always be transparent and to share from my own experiences to empower others for success. Most importantly, I want you to understand that success is not an equation but an evolution.
- You must address your thinking. So much is published today about positive thinking. However, I am not an advocate for positive thinking. I am an advocate for psychological transformation. In fact, it is one of the core pillars that I founded my company on years ago. The mind is one of the most important factors to your success. Personally, my mind was the thing that held me back more than anything. You can have big dreams and great aspirations but you will never manifest it without a made up mind. It is not enough for you to understand your thoughts. Ultimately, it is more important that you address your thoughts if you want to be successful. Every thought you refuse to address becomes an enemy to the advancement of your life. It is more than positive thinking. You must confront your thoughts if you want to experience cycles of transformation.
- You must conquer inaction. Inaction is one of the greatest enemies to improving your life. So many people are sitting back and allowing life to pass them by. You often hear these individuals say someday or one day. I’ve discovered that someday or one day is not a day of the week. If you live in a someday you will never experience a life of success and prosperity. Over the years, I have discovered that success is always birthed out of a now action. Every time I have taken fast action I have experienced uncommon acceleration in my life. I’m challenging you to stop living in tomorrow and start living in the now. Every action you put off engineers the abortion of your dreams. You can live your greatest life but it starts with a now decision. Do not allow inaction to make you ineffective.
- You must break cycles of inconsistency. Many people look at my life and they marvel. I have been so blessed to achieve great things. However, for every achievement I have encountered great adversity. Adversity causes most people to shrink back or totally abandon their dreams. However, I am wired differently. I’ve been wired to win. Therefore, I have learned to persevere in the midst of pressure. Consistency will always determine what you conquer. Inconsistency will always produce an inferior life. It is not enough for you to just be passionate or excited. Consistency will develop in you the disciplines to realize your dreams. The inconsistent become the employees of those that have mastered disciplines. You cannot afford to take the easy route. The route to success is difficult. However, if you will develop a lifestyle of consistency you will unlock an unlimited capacity for success.
- You must live an intentional life. I’m sure some of you have heard me talk about intention before. In fact, I taught a course on intention that transformed lives all around the world. Everything about my life changed the moment I started living with intention. Most people do not understand what intention is. We think that intention is an action reserved for the future. In other words, it is something I plan to do at a later time. However, intention is a clear focus that defines your priorities. Intention gives life to your dreams. When you live with intention it sets the course for how you spend your time, the relationships you form and the things that you consider important. Intention is a way of life that you must develop if you want to be successful. Get clear about your goals, define your priorities and eliminate everything that does not bring you closer to the life of your dreams. When you develop this philosophy you will find yourself living in a realm of unlimited possibilities and opportunities. Intention produces progress, promotion and prosperity in every area of your life.
