The thoughts we create determine our success. Action comes from this process – good or bad.
The entire book thus far, we have spoken about how thoughts determine our lives. We can make good decisions all day and it will not be enough.
Our mantra, I am successful, will show you your greatness. It will reveal your self-worth. Even after doing all this, we still need a plan of action.
We need to plan out the course we want to take and act on it. Positive thoughts need to be the new default. This will allow us the energy we need to make each day count. Here is how to start:
Examine what areas you want to change. It could be prior topics from this book or something unrelated.
Where would we like to see progress? How will we know when we have accomplished something of value?
The process of breaking down goals shows this progress. What exactly will we need to do to get it? How can we measure that we are getting closer to our goal?
For example, when I began my weight loss journey, I researched extensively. Once I determined what was best for me, I created a plan around that. I needed a diet I could stick to and an exercise regime that didn’t conflict with my hectic lifestyle. Meanwhile, I was forming new habits that coincided with my lifestyle. I broke down what a normal day would look like and tweaked it for easy application. The process was truthful and concise. I knew what my life entailed daily and I was honest about that. Your reality will dictate your success.
Next, I had to make sure my mindset agreed with the new habits. If I was to actually lose weight after years of trying and failing, all cylinders had to be firing together. The years I wasted on being uncomfortable and tired gave me a relentless mindset. The old ways never worked for me. Which means, neither did the old way of thinking. My mind was going to tell me all the bullshit it did that got me here. I changed how I was thinking on a deep level to guarantee victory on this quest.
Once I faced the reality of my weight issue, I was ready to finally attack it. The only way I was able to do it was by changing my actual self. I took the bad thoughts and filled my head with how better life would be as a fit person. My vision turned towards how much better I would feel instead of how I felt in the present. I envisioned every aspect of the new me and felt in my core how great my new life would be. The only warning I can give is to not get too caught up in visions. The future is not the present.
We have discussed how our thoughts determine almost everything in our lives. This means we will have to do a lot of work to rewire our minds to get to the destination we desire. As you digest this book, reflect on these thoughts so you can change them as we progress.
By determining the areas of our life we are not happy with, we will see the reasons we don’t progress. The past traumas in our lives are the reason.
The trick is to start feeling and envisioning the future. A time and place where we leave those limiting beliefs of the past behind. By feeling our future, it is more likely we will become that. Remember, we are already winning, harness those wins to project yourself forward. Instead of sabotaging all your efforts, change the direction you wish to get to. This means, identifying when the ship is going off course and have enough awareness to correct it. The more you can see yourself deterring from the path you set, the better you can regain control to continue on it.
When the journey is set, thoughts align, and you are relentless, it is only a matter of time for success to happen.
We are built for success. YOU are built for success. Plan out your journey, understand the challenges you will face, and take action. You will learn so much about yourself and your thoughts through taking action.
When you understand yourself on a deep level, you will break free of the chains that have held you back for so long. The better we conquer our thoughts and rewire our brains, the more opportunities open up to us. This creates the space we have always wanted to be in.
It is time to begin your journey. Believe in yourself. Do not go against the current any longer but ride the waves to victory. Allow yourself to win in ways you have never dreamed of. Demand the success you deserve and do not forget the mantra, We are built for success!
