You Can Create Your Own Lasting Success. Here is How To Do It

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

What you can do for yourself is limitless. What you can do for the people in your life is more than you can think. And what you can do for the world is more than what you think.

Life will give you what you work for, not what you want. So if you want to create your own lasting success, growth, you must be willing to do the work.

Because you can do a lot if you are willing to do the work, if you are not afraid to fail, if you are willing to challenge yourself.

If you want to create your own lasting success, you must challenge yourself. You must not be comfortable. You must not be complacent. Because complacency is a dream killer. It is a temporary solution. According to Molly Fletcher, ‘Complacency is a feeling of self-satisfaction that keeps you from reaching your potential. Complacency lulls you into false sense of security, an ‘I can do it later’ mindset.’

To be comfortable is not a bad thing. But don’t make it a habit. Because it will make you even more comfortable.

You can create your own lasting success when you commit yourself to what you are doing right now, not what you will do in the future. Why is that? Because what you are doing right now is not going to change anything right now. If you do what you are doing now really well, it has the power to change the direction of your life.

When it comes to success, to growth, commitment is key. When you commit yourself to what you want in your life, you do not really care about what is going on in the world. You are not easily distracted by what other people are doing. You are really into what you are doing. You want to see it through to the end.

You can see things through to the end when you discipline yourself. Life is a failure without discipline.

Discipline is doing something that you do not feel like doing. It is facing your fears. It is saying to yourself, ‘I am going to do this thing, no matter what is going on in my life.’

Success is possible when you discipline yourself, when you are comfortable with being uncomfortable, when you are comfortable with discomfort. According to Molly Fletcher, ‘discomfort creates freedom from regrets, from looking in that rearview mirror and wondering what you could have amounted to.’

You can amount to anything if you are not scared to try things that you have not done before. if you can face yourself, if you can face your fears, you can do anything.

If you can face your fears, you can take charge of your life. If you can do what other people don’t want to do, you can achieve your dreams. If you are willing and ready to do more than others, to invest in yourself, then nothing can stop you from creating your own lasting success.

To start, you must know your purpose. The question is, ‘Do you know your purpose?’

Do Not Limit Yourself. You Can Do More Than You Think

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

You are limitless. If you want more, you can do more. If you can do more, you can get more.

It depends on what you want to accomplish for yourself. Success depends on what you want. ‘The goal you decide to tackle does not necessarily have to be world changing. It can be as big or small, as easy or complicated, as you like. The key is that it must be meaningful to you.‘

You are more likely to do well in your life when you do what you love, not what you hate. Because ‘deep down inside, we know that we are limitless. But our brains and the world around us confine us so we remain smaller than we should be.’

You don’t have to accept that. You can change your direction. What you want in your life is different from what the world wants you to have. Don’t believe it. They are lies. If you want to be different, you must do what others don’t want to do.

Success comes from doing what you love. Failure comes from blaming other people for your life. Do not do that. When you blame other people for your past, what is happening in your life, what will happen in the future, you are limiting your power, the power to be you, the real you.

Remember that ‘every experience you’ve had up until this point in your life, including those that have been the most difficult, is an asset when you choose to learn from it.’

That is life. What life gives to you, take it. Do something good with it. Do not blame people for your life. Take responsibility for your life. Taking responsibility for your life is a strength, not a weakness. According to Hal Elrod, ‘It is your responsibility to make the changes necessary to go to next level.’

Your next level. It is right in front of you. If you want to catch it right now, you have got to expand your comfort zone. ‘As you expand your comfort zone, you also expand what’s possible for you.’

And to get out of your comfort zone, you must focus on what you are doing, not where you are going. When you focus on what you are doing, you will know what not to do. You will know what to avoid. It will allow you to really focus on what you are doing, not on what you are going to get.

Remember, according to Hal Elrod, ‘every result is preceded by a process and the key to consistent goal achievement is to stay committed to your process without being emotionally attached to your results.’

Will you do that for YOU? Will you stay committed to your goal?
