Tap In

Did you know that in all reality you are already successful?  It is already a done deal.  You just need to tap into your success.  You are the only thing holding you back.  There is no one to blame but you.

How can you tap into your success?  I thought you would never ask.

As we have already discussed in previous posts, there are three main steps to become a Master of Success or a master of anything.  They are discovery, intention, and action.  Discover who you are and what you truly would like to accomplish in life.  Then get started.  Most people can't get past the first two and actually move into action.  They know what they want, but they do not truly understand who they are or what works best for them.  This leaves them stuck where they are because they do not know hot to process their goals and intentions.

Do You Know Your Values

Values are things in life that you want for their own sake.  They define who you want to be.  They also guide your moment by moment choices about what to do and what to have.

Values have little meaning if they do not change your daily behavior.  Oftentimes, people say they live life based on values, but they act in ways that contradicts this.  You can take charge of your life by clearly stating your values and then choose your actions carefully.  Do not be content with vague ideals and goals.  This leaves room for confusion, failure, and procrastination.

Becoming a Master of Success is based on a specific set of values:

1-Focused attention means being in the "here and now".  People with focused attention can be centered even in the midst of chaos.

2-Self responsibility means being the victor, not the victim.  In any circumstance, you choose how to respond.

3-Integrity means being someone people can count on.  Your words and actions always line up.  People can trust you to keep your agreements.

4-Risk taking means being willing to change.   Be open minded and courageous.

5-Contributing means being a person who finds their meaning in life by serving others.  They gain the knowledge and skills in order to give back to the world.

To help define your values, translate them into visible behaviors.  One way of doing this is to create your own Eulogy.  This is a detailed statement of how you want to be remembered when you die.  When it is written, set goals on what you will do to create that legacy.  This is not about focusing on death.  It is about choosing how to spend your time while alive.
