In life, you have is one thing, and that is CHOICE! Your choices create the life you live and your life experiences. Since every choice has a consequence, great choices lead to outstanding consequences. Likewise, poor choices create some powerful lessons. The truth is every adversity becomes an opportunity for you. You have the power to create success!
Here we seek the 5 choices that will lead you to create success and change your life! Learn how to choose success every single time. It is a decision that only you can make. Success isn’t given to anyone on a platter. You have to create it to obtain it; and you do so, by the choices you make on a daily basis.
Love what you do, do what you love – Create Success step one
Although it sounds cliché, this is still the first step towards actually becoming successful. A resentful person is NEVER successful. How can you excel at anything if you hate it? Have you ever heard of a person becoming successful at something they hate? It is almost impossible.
Your thoughts and how you think need to be nurtured and encouraged. Develop your talents. Find your footing in your particular field and then ace at it! It is all about finding that balance. As an example: Michael Jordan was good at basketball. While he wanted to excel in baseball…he soon found that he was far better at sticking to his God given talent. Know what you love doing, and think things through of how you can make it work for you – even financially. The numbers should make sense.
Figure out your timeline and then work to that end – sometimes you have to choose to walk away – Create Success step two
Your timeline too is a number, and it should make sense. If you focus on one goal and keep failing at achieving you might ask am I doing something wrong? Wait. Step back. Look at it from a wider view. See where and why you are failing. And change it! Perhaps it’s the wrong goal.
Tough decisions are required at times. You may love doing something; however, sometimes the time is just not right. You may have to make a choice to move on and try something different or the same thing differently. Give yourself time and set that as a goal. You should not go beyond a certain limit and cut yourself from the opportunities that may be presenting themselves without you noticing.
Choose to be patient. Successful people have failed more times than they have succeeded. Failure is just one more step to finding success. Something is bound to click and stick. Figure it out.
Choose to believe! – Create Success step three
You have to believe in your decisions. You have to believe in taking risks. You have to believe in your choices. But above all else you have to believe in yourself – and you have to choose to do so every single time!
If you choose to believe in the potential of your idea and your potential, then there is nothing stopping you from achieving the success you seek. The world is yours for the taking and you have a right to make it work for you. Your success is dependent on your attitude, determination and belief.
If you do not have faith in yourself, then how can you move forward in life? Life revolves around a set of belief systems, and one of them is belief in self – without which little to nothing is possible.
Choose to change your way of action – Create Success step four
Being determined takes you everywhere, but being rigid limits your direction. If you learn that achieving your goal through one path is not gaining any results, then accept it is not working out and pursue a different route. You need not give up on the whole idea altogether, simply change gears and figure another road out. There are several pathways leading to the same destination. Some may be blocked and not easily scalable; some make it easier and faster for you to get there. You won’t always have it a 100% right. It is ok to make mistakes and learn from them. You just have to choose to incorporate those learned lessons into your next decisions.
Banging your head against a wall would never break the wall – only your head and your spirit. Use the door to walk through and you would get to the other side.
Choose to have positive thoughts and energies – Create Success step five
Positive thoughts create the foundation for positive outcomes. If you are goal oriented then have positivity towards its achievement. Don’t be deterred by the roadblocks. Achievement doesn’t come without some sweat and even tears at times! However, with a positive attitude, there are bound to be a churn of events that create a more sustainable way of achieving success in whatever you do. Even hardships are not difficult to bear, and it all becomes a part and parcel of the ride to the top.
In the words of Paulo Coelho “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” (The Alchemist); but that is only possible with positive energies. If you are a go-getter, then your attitude should be of one! Do not give up at the first failure. If you want it, then want it bad enough so that no matter what you get it and the universe WILL help you succeed.
Make a choice to change your life for the better. Choose to ignore the naysayers and learn to make the most of what you have and have it work for you. There is no one stopping you except you. Don’t make your choices the reason for failing – rather make them the base of your success.
