I’m sitting in the BA Executive Lounge waiting for my flight that’s going to whisk me home to London from Edinburgh. Right now I’m enjoying my Americano coffee and feeling quite inspired as I watch a group of obviously successful executives deep in conversation. They look so happy, animated, and full of life.
It got me thinking that everyone wants to have a level of success in their life—whether that is with your children, your lover, or your business. You have a calling to make a difference; otherwise you’d never be reading this email.
Everyone has a picture of what success means to them, and if you are feeling stress in your life, you may be starting to slip. Stop for a second and let’s tweak your thinking!
Before I go any further, let’s make a difference for you right now! Be open and consider how you are thinking about a problem in the first place.
No.1 – Your mind thinks in pictures.
You think in pictures! If you don’t believe me, think how you automatically recognize your car or house or anything else.
Well, the simple answer is that you learned what your car looks like; you learned the location of your house just like you’ve learned to walk, talk, make coffee, etc. In fact, all that you are is the sum of all your learning.
In a similar way, you’ve also learned what success means to you.
No.2 – So why aren’t you getting your version of success?
Well, just as you know what success looks like to you, the reason you’re not feeling successful boils down to another picture you’re running in your head, or maybe you’re telling yourself that it’s impossible for you to be that successful.
What you have is an unsuccessful picture in your head. Your feelings of being unsuccessful are far stronger in your mind than your actual dream of success. This is what is holding you back from your dream.
No.3 – You can change that picture.
The good news is that you can strengthen your mind in the direction of success.
When you persistently think you’re not going to be successful, then that is what shows up in your life. When you start to feel successful now, then all the other successes you desire become a reality.
You are reading this because success has great MEANING in your life, and I totally understand that. Hope this was helpful!
To Your Success,
Neera
