Determine what success is for you and your life. Could it be financial freedom, a healthy family, a promising career or being a nurturing mother? What ever your idea of success is you can achieve it.
It is the small things that we do on a daily basis that determine our success. We as humans are a victim of our psyche. We subconsciously determine the outcome of our progress. Do we genuinely believe we can become a success or do we doubt our every decision? As a young college student I took every class that appealed to me. With No real goal in mind, I studied counseling, sociology, child psychology and catering. I had no idea of where either class would lead me and I didn’t develop a plan. I was trying to be a good mother and wife as well as fulfill my mothers’ aspirations to “get myself a degree”. My personal views on success were in the background because of my perception of what was expected of me. Long after college I began to realize I had not achieved success by my own definition. You see I wanted to please the people in my life so much, that I lost myself in their ideas. I had subconsciously decided I was unworthy of success and failed at every attempt of it. I was unfulfilled. What was holding me back? Fear!
The subconscious mind will tell you that you can’t make it, people will laugh at you and your ideas or that you do not deserve success. I am here to tell you that everyone is deserving of the freedom of their own ideas of success. No matter what our childhoods were like, we can achieve our goals. We are not super beings that can change the past. We can not foresee the future. We can only strive to be the best person right this moment. No one is promised the future but getting past our psyche and self defeating thoughts is the first step to achieving success. Most people would agree that “you are what eat “and I would also add that “You are what you think”. If we can get rid of the negative thoughts, we can focus on the successful outcomes. Try thinking positive, making a plan and putting that plan into action.
