Each of us are taught the lessons we need to learn to become successful in the future. What does that mean, during the course of our lives we are each taught lessons which will allow us to become successful. We are taught what to think from our parents, colleagues, teachers and those who we associate with regularly, we are taught about our own individual purpose. We are taught how to fore fill our purpose in life; each of us has a reason for why we are here. We all have been taught many lessons during our own lives, to the degree that these are to teach us something for our future. Everything we need for our own future is given to us and provided for us when we are young.

Jim Rohn released a book called lessons on life. A short book containing his personal lessons from life and what he had learned throughout such. Now everyone is given the skills to fore fill their own mission in life, their purpose. Some a natural parent, others a natural leader, other people have different skills that they have been given. However we may not use these skills for some reason, we can propel our lives forward by using our natural skills and the lessons we have learnt. What are your own natural skills?

Each of us has needed to learn those lessons for our purpose. Some of us need to accept ok the fact that you may not be capable of working full time. Others have different things to accept and learn, yet when you start using your natural talents and just go with it your life can literally be propelled forward. However you do also need to learn those things that will help you in the future. You may be a natural parent, so what do you do with that talent. Sometimes you need to learn the skills before you know what you have to do in life.

Sometimes life teaches us those lessons to become that person we have to be. To become the father, the mother, the partner, the lover, the husband, the wife, the leader, the CEO, the skills are there they just need to be drawn out of you. When the time is right those skills will get drawn out and become that person we were destined to be. It may take 3 years of preparation, 30 years, even longer to prepare for your destiny. However that is what it is like, after spending the last 3 years personally preparing to fore fill my own destiny I know that things are where they have to be for me as person. Yet at the same time I also have spent my life learning the lessons needed to fore fill my own purpose and to be successful. We are all where we are today owing to our own choices in life.

We were destined to learn those things that we were destined to learn so we can fore fill our lives purpose. Think about it, what are you destined to achieve in life? what are your natural talents and do you use them? When you use them you propel your can propel your life forward and become that success you were destined to be.

The courage to follow through with promises

Having the courage to follow through with your promises is a big thing. People sometimes do not realise that this will at times be a test; when you have to commit or fore fill some promise to another person. Yes at times you not want to make do on those promises and other people may plainly forget about them, it takes courage to say look I need more time. I haven’t got to this yet I shall do it I have had a bit on my plate lately, sure at times things do come up and that is ok. Yet when someone does not follow through on their part of a promise it does not help at all.

Say someone suggests they will help with a project and when the time comes around to help they are busy. You have fore filled you part of the deal, however they do not remember or say anything about such. This happens a lot, however when someone is genuine with their promise and commitment they will make it happen no matter what. They may have to say look can I delay this and you go from there. It’s a matter of being faithful to those commitments and promises which you have made to someone no matter what happens. Ok yes at times you may need to take a raincheck or say look can we do it some other time. However when this happens a number of times it can really affect any friendship or relationship.

The more the person lets you down the more it becomes harder to trust them as a person. This is how friendships or relationships are destroyed, the more someone doesn’t follow through on their word the more it says I do not know that you should trust me to the other person. Yes there may be genuine reasons, when someone does not offer an alternative then it makes the person who made the request feel hurt when they are continually let down by that same person. When you are someone who does such then it’s best to say I do not think I can do that. Not say yes and forget or not follow through as it only hurts the friendship. This especially happens when you say yes to something and then suddenly pull out, ok yes there are good reasons for doing such. It really depends on how good the friendship / relationship before someone will say no that’s enough and put their foot down.

Think about it. Are you someone who constantly says yes and then does not follow through, are you someone who will say look I am busy is it ok to do it later, do you keep to your commitments or promises. That’s a big thing as it can say a lot about your character as a person and even how much you respect, admire and love that person. When someone continually breaks promises it is a sign of a lack of respect for that other person. Yet when they ask to delay it means they want to do it, when they do what is asked it suggests they respect you as a person.

A very powerful day.

<![CDATA[

One of the most powerful days in any person’s life is the day they say I am going for that goal and I am not going to give up on it. This what I am going to do and I do not care what barriers you put in front of me, nothing is going to stop me no matter what from achieving my goal. You can throw whatever you want at me, however it’s not going to work, you are not going to distract me from my goal. Like it or not nothing you do will work. This is the day you are saying I am in with no excuses, no matter what happens. I am 100% committed to do doing this no matter what, I am in for the good and bad times, you see often when people quit it’s just prior to some form of success. They walk away from what they are doing; just prior to their success; owing to someone saying well this is not working why do you continue. Quite often the person who has provided the advice is ill advised and does not understand at all. That person may not have all the facts or information you have.

I can remember a time when I quit and walked away from things owing to people not having all the facts. It is best to go with what you know is right and to say well this is what information I have and take it from there. There are people who will try and tell you why you can no longer achieve your goals and dreams. They use a number of excuses to tell you why you are unable to achieve that goal. These are learned behaviours, sometimes a person needs to spend years in preparation just to become the person they were destined to become. That person has to learn their lessons and what skills are needed for their future. Personally I have spent the last 3 years building the skills needed for my future, is their some skill which you missing that could move you onto the next level of your own success.

Success is different for everyone, what one person sees as success is completely different what another sees as success. For some people it’s that nice home, that nice car, the big screen TV, for others it is the family, spending time with their family and kids. Being able to be there for them no matter what happens. Each person is different as to what they see success as. Yet when you commit to something saying no matter what I am going to do this it really makes a very powerful day. As you know that it’s what you want from life nothing more. I know when I have made a commitment to something I have always followed through no matter what.

The power comes from saying no matter what this is going to happen. You can test me yet I shall achieve this goal no matter what. The tests are often to see just how determined you are to achieve that goal. When you quit it’s because you are not fully committed or do not fully want that goal.

Programing yourself for success

In order to be successful in life you have to program your mind to expect that success. What do I mean by this, a person must prepare themselves to be successful and to expect that success will come. The best way is to program your mind saying I can do this, I can achieve this goal and I am not going to listen to those negative people who give me all the reasons why that goal is not possible to be achieved. I have heard a few of them in my time, well meaning friends, colleagues, associates etc. will turn around and say well that’s too hard, you are not good enough, it costs too much. That is all the result of their programming. This has happened at some point during the person’s life.

Now the best way is to ask yourself how can I achieve this goal, what can I do to turn this goal into reality. You also need to know what is motivating you to achieve such. Once you know why and what you want to achieve, then the best thing is to go after that goal. You see it all the time some people will be wanting to sleep with someone only for that notch on their belt, yet the people who are out there and not prepared to give such up without love well they are people who have their goals set and know what they want. These people stick by their goal of not sleeping with someone until they are in love or married.

Now to achieve that goal a person needs to literally expect that the goal is going to happen and that they are going to be successful. Any doubt in a person’s mind does not help, so what you need to do is make it so that you do what is known as your self-talk to yourself. Take what you want to be in your life and write it out as if you already had such. What do I mean of your goals could be a relationship so you say yourself “I am in a relationship” at least 100 times a day. I know I say my own self-talk to myself a lot more than that, I listen to it at night when I am asleep and when doing things throughout the day. Doing your self-talk and programming your mind helps keep those bad thoughts out of your mind, the more you listen or do your own self-talk the more you are pulling that goal towards yourself. As the more you believe the goal and hear it the stronger it becomes programmed on your mind.

When it’s programmed into your subconscious mind you are drawing the goal to you. This is something that I’ve seen happen in my own life of recent weeks, drawing that goal towards me. It’s not just about programming for a relationship you can do this with anything at all. My personal self-talk goes for 20 seconds and plays all night at least which is over 1400 times at night, it plays in my car and when I am busy with tasks. The more I listen to my self-talk, the more it will draw the events to me. When you program your mind expecting success you draw it to you, sure it may take time work and patience; however when you work at it the prize is yours. It just needs work time and patience.
