Achieving Success: How You Define Success Dictates What You Achieve
Here’s something you need to know about achieving success. How you define success dictates the success you get. I will repeat. How you define success dictates the success you achieve, the success you get, because if you define success as the accumulation of material wealth, that’s what you’re going for. That’s what you’re pointing toward. You’re all the time, if that’s what you’ve decided and that’s what you seek, all the time you’ve given instructions to not only your conscious thinking, but to your unconscious mind to be looking for it, finding it. That. That definition of success. You zero in.
Think of a very simple example. You want to buy some new workout gear. You go find it, you buy it, and then you see it everywhere. You want to buy a car. You buy it, and now you see that same model everywhere on the highway.
It’s the reverse, too. If you’re looking for something, you’ll find it. And owning it or changing your mind about something or adopting something or wearing something puts your mind on it so you see it, you see it, you see it. This is about recognition of what’s there and what you go for, and your mind naturally seeks what you program it to seek.
You program your mind to seek what it is you say success is and achievement is by saying that’s what it is. It’s not a big deal. It’s just that it’s so powerful.
We are like hunters. We have so much information coming at us. Zoom! We select. Boom! We chop out all the stuff that’s extraneous, and boom! We lock in.
You lock in all the time on what you are seeking, so if you decide something is success, that’s the success you’ll have, and it’s the extent of the success you have, in a way. Although, any major success has a ripple effect. It affects other parts of your life. You get a certain kind of attention. It could be positive.
If you change anything about who you are, and it’s a significant change, and it makes you feel better about yourself, it ripples through your entire life. You can go to a gym for three months and get changes in your musculature, but it doesn’t just affect your musculature. It affects your self-concept. It affects the way you walk. It affects the way you hold yourself. It affects how people actually see you and interchange with you. It affects their opinion of you, and all of that, in a circular way, comes back to you.
So, you can create a life through what you seek, and by doing certain things well-chosen, you can create ripples throughout your entire life. I work with people. When I see them in my groups that I run, to find, in the very first phone call that we have together once they’ve joined up, exactly what it is that if they change it, it will shift everything else along with it.
