Are results in control of you?
You only have control over three things in your life – the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.” - Jack Canfield

“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” – Earl Nightingale

What are you willing to give up in order to get what you want?
It’s called a worthy ideal.
Something that is worth your time, money, persistence, and determination etc.
Absolutely everyone has experienced failure in his or her pursuit of success. Experiencing failure early in life creates a catalyst for either growth or death.
There will always be challenges, obstacles and mountains to move, however failing is a part of succeeding and you can't have one without the other.
Think of a coin.
There are two sides and you can't have one without the other. The more that one fails, the more that one succeeds but the wins will far outweigh the losses.
It's all about present circumstances and one's ability to compartmentalize.
Present circumstances do not count as they are always changing.
But who wants to fail?
People everywhere on the planet will do everything in their power to avoid failure. They will take shortcuts, create maneuvers and avoid obstacles at every turn.
However, this strategy ultimately derails their success. They believe that they are in the process of circumvention however that is not reality.
Rationalization comes into play and non-reality becomes reality.
Rationalization is the input of non-truths to the conscious mind.
Essentially, they are lies and not truths. Ultimately, most people give up and pack up their suitcase. They will rationalize with hundreds of excuses why they couldn’t do what they wanted to do.
When an individual realizes that failure is a definite part of success everything starts working the way it was intended.
Is there a roadmap towards this thing called success?
The late Colin Powell was right on the money with this quote.
"There are no secrets to success: don't waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence."
Are results in control of you or vice versa?
The Law of Gender states that everything has a gestation period or an incubation period. Every thought is a seed planted into the universe. It takes time to cultivate and grow. Even when you can't see the physical form, know that it is being manifested.
Understanding the Law of Gender enables you to control your behavior by not getting emotionally involved with ideas that do not serve you.
As a result, you no longer compete but instead you create.
The following statement contravenes most conventional business practice. When a business competes, it acknowledges the fact that there isn’t enough in the marketplace. Therefore, they will attempt to do whatever it takes in order to snatch their piece of the pie.
There is enough for everyone but how many get this?
We create our own circumstances by not relinquishing our personal creative power.
When results are in control of you, you initiate a self-doom fulfilling cycle where present circumstances and results are dominating your thoughts.
When you are in control of results, you initiate a winning cycle where present circumstances and results do not dominate your thoughts.
It’s not rocket science.
We will either create or disintegrate.
There is nothing in the middle. You have a choice.
Exercise this choice on a consistent basis and fewer people on your team will be dropping the ball. However, there are specific markers in order to work towards this thing called success.
“Imagine playing football on an unmarked field of green; not a goal line to be sought and not a goal post to be seen. It would be an aimless battle where there is nothing to be gained; without a thing to strive for, not a score to be attained.” – Art Holst
No goal line.
No goal post.
No direction whatsoever.
Busy but going nowhere fast!
Discover your purpose and your purpose unveils all the pieces of the puzzle that provide the GPS that you need in order to navigate towards your amazing results.
Most of us spend more time planning what to eat for dinner than we spend planning for our lives. If we don’t have a vision, then we will create the life we have always known.
If our vision isn't anchored in our purpose then we will get off track.
Our goals are the means by which we reach our vision that is driven by purpose.
Your goals should scare and excite you. 97% always ask, “How am I going to do this?”
Do not ask how are you going to do it, as this will derail the creative process.
Just do it!
