All of us as human beings have been taught "from the cradle on" about how the real world operates, and we are "told" that this reality exists independent from our own ideas of it. Would it surprise you if you learned that after your own death one day this was not true? What if there was "more to the story?" Would it change things for you if you learned that the life you had, was the one you created for yourself out of the ideas in your head? Would you continue to accept your version of reality as being unchangeable because of the ideas handed down or given to you, and for the remainder of your life? If you knew this to be true, would it make any difference in how you would choose to create and live the life you call your own?
Define your idea of success Everyone has a different idea on the definition of success. You need to have your ideologies straightened out to plan your goals. Your idea of success is not a goal let's be clear. Your idea of success is your visualization of what it is that makes someone successful. For example, my idea of success is self growth and experience. I believe with these things, I can become the best person possible over time. With that said, I now plan out my goal.Obviously, there are two types of goals: Long and short term. Goals are a must. I think of them as checkpoints and once you complete them, they are behind you. You just keep looking forward.I believe this one to be the more important of the two for one reason: confidence/reassurance. The correct way to have a short term goal is to make it for a short time. I would say daily. I would write down a list of what you need to do that relates towards your long term goal. As the days, weeks, months go by, you will look back on that list and see day after day that items are crossed off your list. Nothing is stronger than visually seeing forward process by looking at your to do list being completed day after day.
Those who create lives of greatness know that they are the one who determines what they are capable of. Whereas those who accept lives, which are average and ordinary, allow life itself to determine for them what they are capable of. Those who create lives of greatness are not afraid of "stretching themselves developmentally out of their comfort zone," in terms of growing the ideas in their head. Only the average and ordinary life finds comfort in staying true to what is already known, in terms of "accepting reality."If you find yourself, desiring something which is "not realistically possible" to go after, ask yourself the question "Why is it not realistically possible to achieve?" Asking this question of yourself over time, while being "quiet inside with an open mind," may bring you a surprising answer. Sometimes in life, we are actually meant to not succeed in something we are attempting to create new in our lives. The reason for this is that we sometimes have to "develop something within ourselves first," and this hypothetical "failure" is a part of that process.
Let me say this another way. No matter what the results you may find yourself experiencing of your attempted creations, know that it is all good. Why? Because it will teach you something about yourself and life that you will need when you get where it is you are attempting to go. Therefore, do not wait. Right now today, take a developmental step forward in a new direction in your life. From the outside, it may appear that you are doing the same things, but from within, something is different now. You are serving notice to your inner self that you are working on developing your life forward in the direction of the life of greatness you came here to have.If you care about yourself, and if you care about any loved ones in your life, then rise up to the challenge of what you came here to do. You did not come here to have a life that is average and ordinary. You came here to challenge yourself to grow beyond the ideas of yourself and the world around you to create a life of greatness (so that we all may benefit from that.)
So, this new lifestyle you dream to have will require a paradigm shift of some sort, and the changes should begin to take place from right now. With a set of goals that you have, and a plan of action of how you are going to get there, then you are bound to get there. Instead of how most people live, aimlessly and purposelessly.
If you are not sure how to get started or continue, I am sure you know how not to get started or continue. Use this if need be as a "tuning fork" as you move forward. No matter who you are, or what you choose to do, if it is from a space within you attempting to create your life of greatness, by way of growing yourself forward in this respect, know there is no greater life work with which to be involved.Trust yourself. Trust your creativity. Trust in your own direction. Trust that all you need will come to you, in one way or another. No one ever said adulthood was supposed to be easy and free of any challenges or difficulties. By the same token, no one ever said once you become an adult that you are finished "growing."If you wish to have a life of greatness, the choice is yours. If you will accept a life that is or will become average and ordinary, the choice is also yours. The world needs the greatness you have within you. En masse the world over, this is how we save the future of our world for our children, grandchildren, and beyond. Ask yourself, if this is too difficult for you to attempt in your life, what are you teaching the loved ones who surround you in your life?Do you teach them by the example of your life, how to create a life of greatness by always growing the best version of yourself possible? Or, on the other hand, do you teach them how to create a life that is average and ordinary because you live your life on "auto-pilot?"
