Are You Really Satisfied?

Are you truly satisfied with the progress you are achieving? If so, that’s good. However, I would suggest that it is okay to be satisfied and still want to accomplish more. The reason for this is simply that so many variables are changing constantly, leaving you behind if you don’t push forward to new levels.

The answer? Set new goals on an ongoing basis. Speaker Skip Ross suggested, “You have exactly what you want in life right now.” When I first heard his statement, I thought, “That’s just not true.” Yet, after thinking about it for a while, I realized he was right, because I wasn’t setting new goals and determining how I could get there at that time.

He offered a “Magic Formula” for achieving more:

Dynamic Living = (GGE + PS) X PSI

Very interesting. He added that Dynamic Living where you achieve higher objectives would only happen if you applied your God Given Equipment and what he called the Principles of Success, combined with a Positive Self Image…

Many of us don’t pursue new challenges (myself included) simply because of what others might think. So, what he is saying is to use all your talents, your thinking ability & your personal drive to initiate action.

Then, he suggested we use the Principles of Success, which he listed as follows:

• The Law of Giving – “Whatever you give, that’s what you will get.” There are no free lunches. You always have to give something (e.g. effort & planning) to pay the price for success.
• The Principle of Vacuum – “Get rid of what you don’t want, to make room for what you do want.” Get rid of the negative influences in your life and make room for greater achievements.
• The Principle of Creation – I know you’ve heard me state this one numerous times in my blogs & articles. “Decide what you want, define it clearly, and write it down.”
• The Principle of Visualization – “Look at what you want and picture it in your mind.” I would add: All the Time!
• The Principle of Command – “Whatever you speak will be what happens to you!” Thus, always ask yourself, “Is that what you really want? If not, then don’t say it.” Don’t verbalize your fears to others, and, yes, we all have some of them… Ross adds that we spend 70% of our time talking to ourselves. Why not be positive?
• The Principle of Action – “Do it now!”
• The Principle of Discipline – “Do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, whether you like it or not.”
• The Principle of Persistence – “I will until…” Ross added that one of the shortest, yet perhaps the most effective Commencement Addresses ever delivered came from Winston Churchill, who walked onto the stage and stated, “Never give up!” He waited in silence for 30 seconds and said, “Never give up!” 90 seconds later, Churchill stated, “Never give up,” and then walked off the stage. As I suggested, while it was likely one of the shortest addresses ever, it was also one of the most effective ones.

Combine these steps with a Positive Self Image, and you will become unstoppable. Your self-image is a combination of your experiences and what you believe about yourself. Don’t sell yourself short. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. With that thought planted in your mind: What’s Next for You?
