The 3 steps to success

Step 1 : Believe that you are worth it

No matter what your life situation is today, believe that you are going to achieve your dreams. Know that you are worth it. Say out to yourself, ‘I am Enough’, ‘I have what it takes’, ‘I deserve it’. The dictum is ‘Believe in yourself’. This small but important step will propel you towards your goals. When you see yourself in the mirror, what do you think? Many people are unhappy because the gap between ‘the true you’ and ‘the ideal you’ is very large. The moment they overlap with each other, you become happy. For that, the 1st step is to fall in love with yourself. (not in a narcissistic sense)

Step 2 : Know what is required of you

Ok. Goal set. Now it’s time for action. Evaluate the things that are required of you. Say you want to be a public speaker. Are you afraid of facing large crowds? Then your first step would be to get over that fear. Join toastmasters. Practice daily in front of a mirror. And so on. If you are writing a book, imagine your writing helping others. Changing their lives. Also, you are getting recognition. Visualize this moment every day. Read about how other people have made it. We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg (success). What it took to get there is mostly forgotten. Only you know the ordeal. So, keep on keeping on.

Step 3 : Go out there and get it

Many people shy away from the public, for reasons better known to themselves. Unless you come in the spotlight, there is no way to find out if you have made it or not. If you are a painter, put all your work out there. Some people will resonate, and many won’t. Your job is to zero in on the people that do. That is your tribe. Collect a healthy list of people who share your values and then hang out with them. You will not only give but also receive a lot of useful wisdom. Don’t try to be a people pleaser. No one in this world is liked by everybody. So, don’t waste your time on the nay-sayers. The day you don’t care about what other people think of you is the day you become liberated. It does not mean apathy. You should listen but don’t make it personal.

So, what are you waiting for? Go for it. Stake your claim. Trust your intuition and create the life that you desire. All the best. And remember, you are well worth it.

God Bless!
