Success in life is not difficult or tricky. It's not luck
either. Success can be summed up in ONE word: alignment.
For you to succeed, in any endeavor, you must learn to
align 4 basic components of your life. The four components
are:
1. Your thoughts
2. Your decisions
3. Your actions
4. Your awareness
Today, we'll discuss the fourth basic component: your
awareness.
Your Awareness
Awareness isn't a big deal to people who don't want to
succeed. But awareness IS the most important component to
success once you've started thinking, deciding, and acting
in a way that takes you toward your dreams and goals (your
success).
Here's what most people, who are on track for success but
never make it, do:
1. They think right
2. They make smarter decisions
3. They take massive action, consistently
4. And they end up in the wrong spot (i.e. - not where they
wanted to be)
Now, why is that? The answer is simple. They were not
AWARE of the results they were getting. They were getting
results and didn't stop to think where THOSE results were
taking them.
Listen, to make it to where you want to go, you have to
know where you are at all times.
Think about it. When you go on vacation to a place you've
never been before, do you stop every once in a while to
make sure you heading in the right direction?
Of course you do. So, why would you NOT stop and make sure
the results you're getting are taking you in the right
direction when it comes to your success?
It just makes sense to do so.
So, why do a lot of people fail to monitor their results?
Here are the two primary blunders most people make and how
you can avoid them:
1. Results Trap
Again, the actions you take and the results you get can be
addicting.
After all, if you're getting results, why should you stop
and question that? Just keep going and you'll eventually
make to where you want to go.
Right? Wrong!
Getting results is awesome. That's what drives most
successful people. But, if the results you're getting
aren't helping you make progress toward your ultimate
outcome, what use are they?
Listen, life is not just about taking action and getting
results. Life is about the journey you take and the person
you become when you get to where you want to go.
Life isn't easy. But it's worth every mistake. It's worth
every struggle. It's worth every disappointment,
frustration, and heartache.
Just make sure these set backs aren't in vain. Know where
you want to end up and be aware of where you are at all
times. The right results will get you to where you want to
be.
Remember, results don't equal success. The right results
equal success.
2. Ignorance
You don't know what you don't know.
As I said before, the people who seem to do it all right
and still fail are the ones who are not aware of the
results they're getting.
So, the problem is not, "I can't get results".
The problem is they don't know they have to track their
results and make mid-course corrections to achieve their
results.
In other words, they are ignorant to awareness and its
importance.
But not you!
You now understand that you have to know where you are at
all times if you're going to get to where you want to be.
You know you have to become aware. You know you have to
make corrections along the way. You know success is right
around the bend.
So, become aware and succeed!
