Whilst you can be a stepping stone to help others succeed, you are not a dirty mat to be abused by others.
There should be a healthy ‘stubbornness’, assertiveness and confidence that comes from knowledge of your clear vision, mission, values and personal brand.
The major purpose of defining and understanding yourself is to be able to come up with an objective strategy to map your success.
Personal growth by tackling the ‘big-picture” through focusing on the things you have power to influence is more effective and less stressful.
The ostrich-approach of burying your head in the sand, when confronting your areas of weakness, becomes a self-set trigger for failure.
You will only become significant in life, by solving the unique set of problems only you and your mission are meant to solve.
There remains unique questions calling for a unique mission like yours to answer – and that is your key to significance. Find them and be the answer.
Begin to grow in wisdom and develop an informed approach to more global issues around you and along your path to success and significance.
If you cannot see it in your mind, then it becomes difficult to get. If you can personally visualize it, it becomes easier and more realistic to achieve.
Do not define your success in the context of just one situation or challenge you are currently battling or pursuing.
As you grow and develop your talent and skill – you must begin to create a demand for what you possess as a personal brand.
Whatever you possess as an advantage over others, must be meticulously executed to produce desired results and progress.
Consistency and acceleration are both key to sustaining success. One-day-wonder persons who slouch back to mediocrity will soon be forgotten.
There is more fulfilment when sharing with others than enjoying on your own - whatever success you achieve.
The person who will end up enjoying success, is the one who planned for it and who knew why they are seeking to succeed.
Beginning to work your plan means movement and action. The success of your movements and actions can only be guaranteed if they are well calculated.
People are different and it is this uniqueness that also makes it imperative for the definition or meaning of success be left to each individual to determine.
If your belief system, mission, values and attitude are poisoned or contaminated, then expect whatever you enjoy and perceive as success to be short-lived.
Success can never be enjoyed if there is no congruity or alignment of your beliefs, values and how you behave in attaining your achievements.
The pirates left the boat in the Thames, next to the Palace of Westminster. They deliberately parked across two disabled spaces, because that kind of behaviour was pretty much the whole point of being a pirate.
Some people deliberately wrap themselves in a cloak of negativity. This is meant to insulate themselves from the guilt of not trying and not caring. They then go on to market this as a sign of intelligence.
