Values, Behavior, Stress and Your Success

What do you value? A lot of common answers would be health, family, success, wealth, faith etc. But are your values and beliefs congruent with your behavior? Let's say you highly value your health. Although your belief system supports good health you may find yourself inactive, overweight or your diet contains poor nutrition. In this example your values and your behavior are in disconnect. This causes stress in your life and can lead to poor health, unhappiness and even depression.

Let's say you value wealth, financial freedom and living debt free. However you find yourself deep in debt, trading time for money and focused on your week-to-week budget. Again - here you find disconnect and the end result is stress.

Life is too short to live in a constant state of stress. Studies prove that stress will in fact make your life shorter. The change starts with YOUR desire, YOUR state of mind and YOUR action. In short it starts with - YOU!! There are entire books on this subject and for good reason. People tend to focus on external reasons for the causes of their stress. Until you start with yourself, you will not change and your stress levels will remain constant or likely rise.

Examine your values. Ask yourself if your behavior is consistent with what you value. Then take the necessary steps to get yourself in harmony. The same old pattern of trading time for money is not going to get you out of debt. Watching TV after work with a bag of chips is not going to slim your waistline.

There is a consistent theme in my writings. Formulate a plan and take action. Waiting around to cash your lottery ticket is not getting you to where you want to go.

If you are serious about the financial freedom area of your values then get yourself to a place where you can attain the results witha system available to you. Napoleon Hill talks of Mastermind Groups in "Think and Grow Rich". I agree wholeheartedly with this concept. Mastermind with those that have reached the success in the field you want to succeed in and you will find that forging your roadis not the daunting task that it once seemed.

I am on a team of serious entrepreneurs that are very real and very committed totheir own success and that ofthe team. If you are serious then put your values into action!!Apply what you learn. match yourvalues and your behaviorand Commit!!

To Your Massive Success!!

Re: Infographic: The 4 Main Stress Factors - I'd like to reference that article in my next blog post as well.. I worked in sales for years and found that days when I was positive, relaxed where days that it was easy to sell. On days that I was stressed I found I would not reach target. Stress is good at times, but it very easily becomes problematic. I do a lot of very physical exercise and work now, to manage it.

Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
