We all want to be successful – and its different for each one of us – whatever that success means to you – loving relationship, wealth, profitable business, having more power, fame, whatever
For me success means fulfillment and happiness and that is when I am able to make an impact – this means empowering people my family, work, community and world at large and supporting them to be more productive, more healthy so that they can live their best lives. It also means using my knowledge, expertise and resources to support projects with a social cause
2 things come to my mind
What am I willing to do and what am I willing to let go of in order to get what I really want?
I am willing to put in the hard work, take the risk of going into unknown, make the commitment and investment in terms of time, money and mentors. I am willing to let go of my comfort, safety and security net, distractions, need to know more
What are you willing to do and let go to get what you really want?
Think of yourself and the time that you have in terms of a glass jar.
If you fill the jar with menial things that don’t really matter, being mad at silly things, phone distractions, binge watching netflix, toxic environment, anger, ego.. there will be no space for more meaningful things that are really important. In fact when we let go of old things that don’t serve us, it creates space for new things, new habits, new perspectives to pour in.
We all have limited time.. 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and who knows how many years left?
How you choose to fill the jar will determine the level of fulfillment, happiness or success that you would have..
For example
If u want to be in shape, are you willing to build habits that support you, are you willing to hit the gym atleast 5 days a week for 20 min? Are you willing to let go off binge watching TV on a couch or greasy meal?
If you want a loving relationship are you willing to invest the time for meaningful deep conversation, are you willing to let go of the ego which wants you be always right?
If u want peak performance from your team, are you willing to give them the freedom, the space they need to put their best work out, are you willing to understand them, And are you willing to let go of your need to be right? are you willing to let go of temper? Of your impatience?
If you fill your time with things that don’t matter, you will have no time for things that really do
So my question to you is what are you willing to let go off in order to make room for what you want to do to get what you really want?
You will be amazed at what you can achieve. At the end Its your choice on how you want to fill your life jar..
Until Next,
Keep Smiling..
