When it comes to success in Life or business, it is essential that you evaluate what
isn’t conducive to your end results.
You have got to figure out what the potential difference is and make changes in errors of judgment.
In the book written by John Maxwell called ” Failing Forward” he states that 90% of all those who fail at something
is not defeated, they just simply quit because they don’t accept the responsibility that they chose the wrong method
or process to accomplish the end result that they desired. You must develop from your errors of judgments.
We must not focus on getting ahead of others, but focus on getting ahead of ourselves.
This does require a Change For Life because it is easy to dodge our responsibilities
but we can not dodge the consequences. Let’s talk a little about human nature because
everyone has what I call core beliefs that states how you really believe about yourself.
It is better known as Your Identity & this relates to the actions you take in life that
portrays your Performance.
The key to behavior change or shall we say building better habits is your identity.
Really, every action you exhibit is driven by the fundamental belief that it is possible.
So in the midst of changing your identity you start to change the person that you
believe you are. Your actions must also change.
This may be from a self assessment of realizing that you had some bad habits
that misrepresented who you really wanted to be.
This relates to , sticking to new habits & not attempting to achieve a
performance based goal without changing your identity.
If we aren’t careful we will try to achieve results before proving to
ourselves that we have the identity of the new person we want to be.
We should construct a mental inventory of the drawbacks that are
currently keeping us from making habitual changes and exclude them
from our daily routine, remembering to discipline yourself to be aware of every
limiting thought.
Understand that all change , whether positive or negative , is necessary and
will ultimately support you in ways that sustains your growth.
Let’s talk about Attention, this word derives from the Latin word attendere,
which means, “to turn one’s mind towards” – to turn one’s mind or perhaps
one’s senses; the act or of applying the mind or an object of sense or thought.
So in order to change habits , we must take possession by the mind, clearly
& vividly.
This implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others.
Our inherent mental powers of attention affects us in many ways. We focus our
attention towards our perception of reality. What we look at may not be what we
attend to. Basically, we can direct our attention to the outside world or the inside
world within. Change starts when you attend to your thoughts !
The more you can control your attention the more you attract the things
in your life that you really want. Be decisive, don’t get absorbed with
negative things in your life because to much focus on this will create that
as a reality. This is why it is so important that you must train you attention.
In closing I want you to start to deliberately choose where you want to
place your attention. The more free attention you have, the happier you feel
the more power you have to control what is happening in you life. This is how
you spot the difference in good habits or bad habits.
Develop your talents and unique strengths and set goals to achieve every task
you desire in life that will assist you in accomplishing your Dreams.
This is your life & you are worth it……
