Best Advice: You Hold The Key To Success
We have 24 hours in a day--that is 1,440 minutes and 86,400 seconds--and we must use them wisely. Believing is an unstoppable force within us that keeps us moving no matter what challenges and struggles we are going through.
Similarly, the moon moves around the earth at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour. To go entirely around the earth, it takes the moon a total of 1,423,000 miles and about 27.3 days. Nothing stops her from achieving this tremendous task. We need to keep moving to achieve what we need and what we want during our lifetime. We don't need to move as fast as the moon; however, we need to move and adjust our speed along the way.
Believing in ourselves opens our eyes to clearly see what is in front of us and to the side as well. We hold the keys to a world of endless opportunities. We must believe in ourselves in order to move and to achieve our goals in life. Success may mean different things to different people. I like to simplify the definition of success as this: "Success is about continually achieving favorable outcomes that positively benefit and impact our lives and the lives of those around us."
How can you achieve success? You may reflect on your life as it is now and as you want it to be. Make each day matter. Make each action count.
Reflect on your life as it is now.
Think about who and what matters most in your life. Think about the people who have helped you and the people who have stayed with you along the way. Think about the things and resources that you have acquired and how they give, or not, meaning to your life. Think about who you can't live without and who you may need to let go of. Consider the people and the areas of your life that you may have neglected and why. Recognize your past successes and what made you achieve them.
Reflect on your life as you want it to be.
Once you have a better understanding of your life, as it is now, you become more aware of where you stand and where you want to go. Identify your "needs" first, then identify your "wants." Also, check your motives behind every "want." Not everything that you want may be aligned with who you are, with what you want to become, and with where you want to go. Be honest with yourself. Make your life matter, embrace your talents, and acknowledge your weaknesses. Live a life to be remembered.
"You are in charge of your life and that is why believing in yourself is so important. You are a life leader." IKC
Each person on earth has a unique journey to walk. Cherish yours and learn from others. Don't allow your current circumstances to stop you from achieving success. The year has its seasons--spring, summer, autumn and winter--and so do you. Seasons in your life are temporary. Things change. People change. You are in charge of your life and that is why believing in yourself is so important. You are a life leader. Having clarity of where you stand now and where you want go is essential. The opportunities to gain success are endless. Choose wisely while holding true to yourself.
Appreciate who you are. Appreciate who and what matters most in your life. Don't go with the flow, go in the direction that takes you to a better you, an excellent you who can become an example to others in this world. Set goals to get there and be brave. Climb a mountain or a dozen ones. Strengthen your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual muscles. Rest as necessary to continue moving more powerfully. Learn when to go to the playing field and also take time to be an spectator of life, yours particularly.
Believe in yourself and in the possibilities that you have to enhance your life. You hold the key to make things happen.
