6 Easy Ways To Fuel Your Drive To Success!
Progress brings fulfillment and fulfillment is the ultimate measure of success. Here are six ways to add fuel to your progress.
- THINK POSITIVELY.
A friend of mine recently said to me, “all obstacles are not things, they are thoughts”. It could not be more true. Every though either advances or hinders your progress, do not underestimate the power of thinking positive thoughts.
Here is the good news… God’s greatest resource to you is the power to control your own mind to direct it to whatever ends you may wish to attain. Direct every though to the results you want to see, commit to it and soon all that you do will be to progress you towards success.
2. Write your goals
Everyone claims they have goals, but what they have is just wishes… you do not have a goal unless it is written down with a definite plan of realizing it.
I am guilty of this, l like to think that l can just keep my goals in my mind. Before l go for shopping l always convince myself that l know exactly what l don’t have and l will remember exactly what l need when l reach the supermarket. I set on my way to the supermarket and return with absolutely nothing l went out for, except things l bought by impulse.
Its the same with goals, you can convince yourself that you have a great memory but unless you write your goals down, you will end up buying what you didn’t set out to buy.
The truth is thinking is powerful but thinking alone is not enough, write your goals down and have a definite plan on how you will realize them.
3. Visualize success, Imagine it
The best way to use your navigator is to enter your intended destination before you set off, then your navigator will create a route from your destination to where you are. (Did you know that it starts from the end to start?, well now you know)
Unless you are specific about your destination, you will only get so far. The more specific you are the faster you will get there.
I learnt something today l wanna share with you, it’s really profound.
Your imagination is the only place where faith,hope and your success meet to agree. Use it and soon your actions will be all working towards the agreed destination in your imagination.
4. Have an Inner Circle
Two are better than one, l cannot simply explain to you the power of having great company of people around you. You are the average of 5 of your best friends, this is almost too simple to believe that’s why people don’t care about the company they keep.
Am not just talking about your friends, who in your company is committed to your success as you are? My mentor once said that the people in your life carry two backets around you.. one with water and another with gasoline, they will either quench the fire in you or pour gasoline on it.
You want to be around people who pour gasoline. Those who celebrate your success and inspire you to be all of who you can be, not all of who they want you to be.
Join forces with like-minded people, because you then have a flow of constant positive energy that fuels your progress.
5. Reflect and record your success
Do you recall a certain memory that almost fills you with the same emotion as you felt then.
My favorite memories excite me, when l think about them they always put a smile on my face…one of them is my first time on a plane, may be it was not a big deal for you but l remember how l grinned seeing a sea of white clouds in space. aww the feeling of amazement l got!!!”
Have you ever wondered why the past is painful, it’s because we focus on the bad memories and they generate painful emotions in us.
Good memories have the power to generate positive emotion almost equal to the same you experienced then, this emotion can be used as energy toward a future you want to realize.
Learn to reflect on your success and use it as evidence of what you can do and energy to do it.
6. Revisit The Why Always
Success alone is not enough, there are many successful people who self distract. Learn to revise the why of your success, your why is what translates to fulfillment when you are successful. And fulfillment is the true measure of success.
Remember: If fulfillment is all about you, it is short-lived. The true measure of fulfillment comes from your impact on others.
I think the greatest measure of success is when you care more about the success of others than your individual success.
Success is like medicine to pain, at first you need it to alleviate the pain, then you need it to eliminate the pain, then you need it to do the same for others. Guess what happens when you take more medicine than your body needs… It has the potential to harm you so does success to your personality.
Why do you want to be successful?
How is it about others?
Revist Your Why Always!!!
