Before you set your goals, know this:

‘Setting goals and reaching goals are not the same. It takes a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors to stay on track.’- Julia Pimsleur

If you want to be successful in your life, it is not enough to set goals. Why is that? Because success starts with you.

If you do not know who you are, your goals don’t matter. They are meaningless.

You will achieve your success if you know yourself. You can make your goals happen if you can face your life.

To achieve your goals, according to Julia, you must ask yourself who you want to Be, then start doing the things that that person would Do, and if you take massive action around the Do, soon you will have the things that person would Have.‘

You are your own master. You are in charge of your life. If you want to change it, you must do something. Remember, nothing is going to change if you do not act.

Success follows action. If you want success, you must take action.

Don’t hide from failures. If you want to achieve your goals, you have got to be willing to fail. If you are not willing to fail, you are not willing to succeed.

In his book You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure, and Live an Intentional Life, Neil Pasricha writes, ‘Moving through failures is the real success. … The failures and losses are part of the process for anyone who is willing to try.’ The question is, ‘Are you willing to try?’

To Know Others, You Must First Know Yourself

‘Knowing ourselves thoroughly is how we clean our lens, and when we clean the lens that is the self, we’re ready to receive everything that is beyond us.’- Mark Nepo

If you want to know the world, if you truly want to experience the world around you, you must first know who you, where you are, what you want, and where you are going.

‘Look with love’, not hate. Mark writes, ‘Our best chance to find the Oneness of Life is by looking with love into everything and everyone we meet.’

When you meet people, to know them really well, do not judge them. Instead of judging them, try to know them. To do that, you must first know yourself.

Say yes to yourself. Say yes to your life. When you say yes to your life, you are receating your life. According to Mark Nepo, ‘Looking with love is a form of saying yes. We give give birth to everything we look at with love, including our own soul.’

If you want to be successful in your life, in your career, and in your relationships, you must look at them with love. Why is that? Because love is life. Love is light.

Remember, where there is light, darkness disappears. When you look at yourself with love, fear disappears.
