Self-Contemplation and Success

As promised in my note above, my "article" today consists of a series of questions that will help you contemplate who you are, who you want to become and continue to be moving forward. Take some time this week (and continue to do this process on an ongoing basis) to just sit and allow these questions to bubble around in your mind. Write down whatever comes up for you. This kind of contemplation leads to deeper self-understanding and success, in both life and work, and directly relates to how you see yourself on the inside which leads to how you live on the outside.

1. What are my habits/practices that don't work for me?
2. What are my habits/practices that do work for me?
3. What do I spend time doing that leaves me frustrated?
4. What am I happy/excited about in my life right now?
5. Is there anyone in my life that doesn't feel good to be around?
6. Is there anything at home or in my workspace that doesn't jive with me anymore?
7. What am I proud of about my life?
8. What am I grateful for in my life?
9. What negative judgments do I have about myself? About others?
10. Who do I love and who loves me and what does that love look/feel like?
11. How do I make the world a better place?
12. Do I spend any mental time on thoughts that make me feel cruddy?
13. What are my priorities and values at this time in my life and how to they manifest every day?
14. Is there anything else I can see in my life that doesn't feel good?
15. What changes can I make moving forward that will dramatically improve my life?

Take all the time you need to answer these questions. Even just reading them through and thinking about them as you go through your day can get you results - although I definitely recommend you write your answers down.

Of course you know to have fun with this!

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!
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
