How To Master Your Success

The fallacy in our life is that we blame everything out of our control for our situation. We’re allowing ourselves permission to take a break from redefining ourselves and what we want our life to be like and giving that permission to everyone else but ourselves.

There are times when things we can’t control will cause us to stumble and pause, but if you continually let them keep you from making significant progress in your life you don’t really want it bad enough.

History and the news is full of stories about people overcoming tremendous odds and adversity to succeed. History is also full of examples of people succumbing to mediocrity and staying where they’re comfortable, never pushing themselves and always standing on the sidelines of life wondering why they too aren’t successful.

Are you giving your progress and success in life over to someone else?

Stop Believing Others Are Trying To Keep You Down

Taking ownership versus casting blame, which one are you prone to do on a subconscious level?

On a conscious level we all believe we are the masters of our destiny and dreams. The reality is that we’ve planted seeds of doubt, worry and fear within our minds and let others plant them there also.

It’s time to weed the garden and identify the seeds of weeds we’ve planted that are chocking the life out of the possible, positive and energizing seeds that will grow into massive tree of our life.

Tend And Nurture Your Garden Like A Master

Tending our mental garden is tough, especially if you’re a new gardener and not quite sure what a weed or a plant is. If you’re overambitious you might pull out a ton of good plants and very little weeds.

But, if you pick up a book on gardening you’ll see nice pictures of good plants and bad plants, kind of a master guide for what you should have in your garden.

Everywhere around you there are master books of what you should and shouldn’t have in your life. The question many of us have is which book should I rely on?

Is it the book from our parents and peers? Is that book from society and advertisers? Although, each source has the best intentions and it works for them to achieve their goals, it’s not quite tailored to you and your garden.

Instead, you need to compile your own cliff notes volume based on everyone else’s books. Take what really looks thriving and alive and put that in your book, what seems a little dull or lifeless tear that page out.

If you look at a library of books you’ll take a few pages from each one and see if they fit in your garden or not, over time as you build your cliff notes you’ll compile your master list that is specifically designed for you and you alone. Others can look at your book and see your path to success and they may even try on a few of them, but not every seed of success you’ve planted for yourself will grow into a thriving form of life for them.

Constantly Weed And Nurture Your Success

Everywhere around you is a chance to find a good seed that fits in your garden and will grow into a seed of success, there are also tons of seeds that will cause your garden to decay and die.

Even though we consciously believe we aren’t on autopilot and take command of our destiny there are areas of our lives we’ve let others plant seeds in our garden and it’s not producing the results we want.

Examine every area of your life to see where you need to weed out the bad and plant in the good. Once you have done some weeding go find some good seeds to plant and nurture the whole garden, by being consistent and conscious about the seeds in your garden you’ll see success plants sprout up all over the place, with enough nurturing and care for them they will grow into large fruit bearing plants of success in every facet of your life.

To create the garden of success in your life it takes hard work and dedication. Every day you have to be out there diligently working towards a thriving crop of success.

Be wary of invaders and outside people that will cast bad seeds into your garden. Examine each seed to see if it fits in your overall master plan for your garden, just because it created a thriving plant of success for someone else doesn’t necessarily mean that it will work for you, you may have to alter it a bit first.
