Success is a beautiful feeling, it feels so good. Taste it. I taste it daily. Success is a point which many people feel subconsciously bad about it. Why don’t so many people succeed? They feel it is a painful thing, so sidelining situations is easier. Remember taste the success.
Think of a sweet, something super sweet. Something that makes your mouth water right now; can you feel it? I made Turkish delight and it tastes so sweet! Ok, so what is this with all the food? The answer is association.
We need new associations. Try this for a moment. Consider failure, what kind of taste, food or odour could you place on failure? Is this food something you eat often? Don’t eat it!
Now let us try success. What food would you place on success? I don’t mean what you would like to place on it, but what you think of it as right now. Eat more of it!
Associations are important things. Sometimes we don’t realize the associations we make of things. Success is often termed sweet success; however for many the pursuit of success initially is hard. To break out and into success patterns, you need to become aware of things.
Ancient sayings in philosophy would go - man know thyself. This is an important point, if you can’t lift weights then you couldn’t work in a place where carrying heavy weights in a company is part of the job.
Success feels so good. Taste it for a moment. Consider your past successes. I am sure that you have had successes. Think about them. What food would you put to that? Is it not interesting?
There is another saying that goes you are what you eat. Are you eating success? This is not only in the food that you eat, but also in your mind.
The mental thoughts you eat must be success thoughts aimed at yourself. This is essential. You must see yourself as a success, and believe it.
I eat, I drink, I think, I do things in the world; all these things determine what happens to me. Likewise, you eat, drink, think, and do things in the world. These actions determine where you are going.
If you think it is a sunny day and want an ice cream, it will be part and parcel of what happens, you go get an ice cream.
You want a million bucks, and then it requires mindset, action. It requires being willing to taste the sweetness, however the sweetness is not just in the achievement, but on the journey.
Let us take a million bucks for example, because people want the million bucks. It is a topic that many seminars are dedicated to.
Making a million bucks requires effort, this effort is big. Consider how many people make a million. This means that they must be willing to do what most don’t do. It requires being a millionaire, even before being a millionaire, it requires a millionaire’s action, and it means to have million in results.
It doesn’t stop there though, because now that you are a millionaire, there is another need. What is it? Answering this is the daily task when you are a millionaire. It is here that you want to rest and say amen!
