If you stay where you are right now in life do you feel success will come your way?


There are only two rules for being successful and living a rewarding life:

1 ~ Figure out exactly what you want and then move to step two

2 ~ Just do it!

The hardest part for my own plan is simply point number 1 and figuring out exactly what you or in this case I want to do.

A great question to ponder is where do you see yourself in 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and so on even looking at 5, 10 or even 20 years time as a success? What would make you really happy? Let your imagination run wild, if you were living your perfect lifestyle and do not just lump money as an option.... A large bundle of cash could make you very unhappy. Imagine reaching the top with a shed full of money and then you find an empty feeling.. now how do you feel? Plan the life you want to live, is it a world tour, a Lambo, Aston, working in an orphanage, looking after old folks, you might want a house on the beach in Thailand or an island of your own in Scotland and then think in precise detail what it is like for you.

Now work out who is with you on this journey and how you can be of value to those around you

The easiest way to work on those steps and from the end plan and then work backwards starting at 5 years and working back 2 years, 1 year and even what we need to do next week to make it happen.

Dream life where would you be, what would you be doing, who would you be with, how would this make you feel?

Now keep that in mind and think about what you enjoy in life, what you are passionate about, what is it that fills you with joy an happiness?

When you do something you love in life success comes naturally so once you have answered the above questions you are on track to figuring out what you should be doing in life to be successful.

Now lets move onto point number 2, go back to the earlier question, where do you see yourself in 5, 10 or even 20 years time if nothing change in your life? How does this make you feel, do you feel you are going to be successful?

If you answer yes to the above questions then congratulations you are on your way to success.

On the other hand if these questions make you feel a little uncomfortable or unhappy about your present and possibly future situation, feeling that success will not come for you then I would recommend spending some time going over your answers to point one, take some action and look to make a change in your life to bring it in line with your passions.

Remember life is a journey to be enjoyed along the way, as we enjoy mini steps of success in life, success comes overnight for some people but for most it should be viewed as a the seed of success which first of all needs to be planted then should be nurtured, watered and cared for every single day
