I was blessed to receive this message from my very dear friend, Ochen. She shared with me this "20 Principles of Success Not Taught in School".
I searched and it was from Jen Groover, who happens to be one of the contributors in "Positively Positive" where I am also an avid follower.
I would like to share this to all of you! :)
1. The only thing in life you have control over is
your perspective. No matter what happens, YOU control what the meaning
is, and what to do with the meaning you give to the circumstance.
2. Have more fear of regret than
failure.
3. Failure is only part of the journey
to success. There is not one success story out there that hasn’t
experienced failure. The reason you are hearing about it as a success story is
because those people saw failure as a tool to get it right.
4. It’s not about what you want to do
for a living, it’s about you who want to be. What
is your purpose and legacy? I believe the age-old question, “What do you want
to be when you grow up?” is wrong. We need to be asking, “Who do you want to
be? What footprint do you want to leave in this world?” From there, you will
have your answer as to what you should “do.”
5. Stay focused on your race within. When
you are too busy looking behind and around you, people are passing you by.
6. True leadership comes from good
energy. Worry more about what your energy is like than the
firmness your handshake.
7. Life will give you the same
challenges/problems over and over again until you learn your lesson.
8. Until you jump over your inner
roadblocks, your outer ones will stay firmly in place. We
spend so much time focused on all the exterior obstacles around us, letting
them be our excuses. But the more clear and aware we are of our internal
roadblocks, and dissolve them, the external roadblocks will begin to disappear,
too.
9. The most successful people are the
ones that work on themselves first.
10. Do not judge — be inspired. If
you are too busy judging everyone and everything around you, you are not
remaining open to find inspiration in everyone and everything around you.
11. You are not allowed to complain
about something unless you are going to do something about it.
12. Surround yourself with people you
want to be like.
13. Learn to become comfortable with
being uncomfortable. The more fears you face, the more you will grow.
14. Always ask, “What if?” and, “Why
Not?” Instead of thinking, “What if I fail?” ask, “What if I
succeed?”
15. Creativity is your unlimited
capital. Understand and harness its power.
16. “I only have good days.” If
you start off everyday with this mindset, even when challenges emerge, your
positive mindset will help you overcome them more readily.
17. Create your own footprint. You
do not need to do what others have done before you.
18. Hit the “mental reset button.” When
you are thinking negative thoughts, envision hitting the “delete” button in
your mind and begin to rewrite a better story.
19. Abundance is everywhere. You
must choose to see it and believe it in order to fully experience it.
20. There is a lesson in everything that
happens to us — wisdom to be gained and gratitude to be given. Begin with gratitude and everything else will reveal
itself.
The beauty of success
is that it can have many layers. Success doesn’t need to be limited to one
aspect of life — but as many aspects as we desire to succeed in. The critical
part of being successful is to be aware of what you want. Define it, write it
down, and reflect, every day, on which steps are necessary to write your own
story of success.
I hope to share more of these inspiration as we go along!
Happy reading!
