Life is a game

Since you make the rules in your life, always set the rules so you set yourself up to win.
Since success builds confidence and confidence creates activity and activity creates success habits, which creates results, which creates more success, you want lots of Successes.
The success cycle can also be called the momentum cycle.
Since you define what a success is, it’s important to define success so you get lots of successes every day.

This article as an example

I have committed to publish an article each Sunday.
My rules to win could be to write every day to eat the elephant one bite at a time.
I have been prioritizing my focus on other habits and end up with a bigger task. I could post nothing and consider it as acceptable or take responsibility and showing up giving the best value I can. Now looking for the gold by learning the lesson and reminding that true success is not what you’ve done compared to what others have done, it’s what you’ve done compared to what you could have done.
If you want to be successful, do the right things long enough consistently. It means regularly, the more often, the better, depending on the activity. Keeping in mind a score to distinguish activity from accomplishment.

Consciousness

Self awareness is a key common denominator of all successful people. Self-awareness can be defined as having the ability to be aware of your strengths and be aware of your weaknesses.
By assessing where you are at you can focus and practice on your weaknesses to improve.
Emotions tone scale is a good indicator that your thoughts are in the sweet spot: you feel good and you’re doing lots of activity that you enjoy.
It will motivate you, love doing the actions, it won’t feel like work and you get great results.
By assessing how you feel you can adjust our focus on something you can believe in and still excites you

Indicators

While driving your car you monitor your fuel gauge and can have alerts on the oil level or overheat of the engine.
When asking questions to get accurate information, there are keywords you can use: specifically, precisely or exactly.
You can use a graph or chart with a clear number, such as gross income, physically placed on the wall where you can see it all the time showing weekly results is effective. It allows you to focus on what you want and your physical thoughts will make the graph go up.
Have a clear picture of the future you want to create, ideally with quantifiable data, facts, statistics instead of opinions.

Recognition

We can satisfy the need of importance with self recognition when there is nobody around to provide it. I am my champion and celebrate writing this article in challenging circumstances.
I am proud of me as I followed my commitment to keep the agreement with myself. I forgive myself for looking for perfection with very high standards leading and choose to let go of the pressure and relax in the process.
