Success and achievement mean different things to different people to whom you ask because every person has their own unique outlook on life. However, there are basic ideas that everyone can follow in order to help you ensure that you find the success as well as the achievements that you seek. So today, on this #TrashItThursday I am going to give you five ideas to help you on your journey toward success by having you throw out outdated ideas that are plaquing you from within.
So, the first thing I want you to trash once and for all, is your idea of “baby steps” and always playing it safe by thinking small when it comes to your dreams. I want you to start to think so big that you never reach your intended dream. Make that dream so large that it almost feels daunting at times. People will often give up and search for a reach that is more attainable because it is the easy way out. It so so dangerous when you do this because slowly, you begin to kill your dream. Do not confuse your dream with goals. They are not one in the same. Your dream may encompass a thousand goals but your dream is your universe and so it should be so large that your stretch must continue to grow.
I am making this second idea more of a question that I have asked many times before in earlier blog posts and that question is this, are doing what you love? If you have answered that question with a no, you must throw out that notion that you are not supposed to love your job because if you answered with a no, I guarantee that is a major reason. Another horrible notion that I am sure is a major reason for your no response is that you believe that a job constitutes the only real security in life and I am sure you believe that security and a constant paycheck are the only ways in which you should live your life. Throw them out! If you want to live your dream, you must love what you are doing, Period. Even if you are not very successful at what it is that you love, at least you are doing what it is that you love and that in and of itself is so much more fulfilling and satisfying for your life. When you are fulfilled and satisfied with the level that you have obtained, then you will indeed be successful.
The third idea is to trash that fear of failure that most people seem to have. Stop the growing fears about the future because, it has not arrived. Stop those fears about mistakes that you made in the past. You cannot change anything that is behind you. Enjoy where you are right now and stop being afraid of failure. Every day that you wake up and work toward your dreams should be a fearless day. It is a brand new day to continue with strategies that are working or it is a brand new day to toss everything out and implement new strategies so in either scenario, there should not be any fear there, there is only a fresh new opportunity to be great. When you start doubting yourself, just remember this, that each failure is just another step on your path to your ultimate journey. One foot in front of the other and one day at a time.
My fourth item for you to trash is your inability to decide. You must be decisive and take action on everything that involves your dream and your personal journey. Do not wait for people to make decisions for you and do not delegate decisions that belong in your own wheelhouse. Just think about it for a minute, how can anyone on this planet decide what is best for your dream? I am not saying that you should not take advice or suggestions. What I am saying is that it is you who must make all decisions that involve your dream, so learn as quickly as possible to be decisive.
Finally, my last plan of action for you is to throw away the negativity. There is no room anywhere to fit any level of negativity into ones life, unfortunately, too many do. You must and I stress MUST learn and must become a positive person. Positive people are unstoppable and unwavering. Positive people are more relaxed and happy and therefore create and perform much better ESPECIALLY when they are building their dream. Negativity is so easy and so very contagious. Negativity is like a poison and it allows you to be torn down. Get rid of the negative thoughts and the toxic people in your life if you want to thrive and be successful. It sounds so simple but this is going to be one extremely hard attribute for you to master. Practice every chance you get and you will be amazed at how your life will begin to morph into something very new and very special.
If you want to read about an insanely wealthy and successful man who stayed razor focused on his dream, I am once again going to suggest the book Made In America.
