Quit Pretending - You Have To Live What's In You To Succeed
Some people, after they reach their mid and upper adult years
seem to go through their lives just existing. Oh! They work at
their jobs as best as they can. Some may even pursue higher
positions in their jobs but they still don't seem to stay
satisfied with whatever position they have. They are usually the
ones just waiting until it comes time for their retirement.
For those of you in that ho-hum category let me say this. Quit
pretending - you have to live what's in you to succeed. If you
think you are doing the best job you can. Think again. Whether
you realize it or not you have within you more talents than you
would ever believe.
Why not discover your newfound talents and use them to enhance
your life and those close to you for everyone's benefit. In
today's world you can never be sure of the security of your
career or your health. All of us know that today we are not sure
if we'll be victims of downsizing or experience a major health
problem.
In my case when I retired I was not only looking for a second
income but also a way I could become beneficial to others. I
never realized I had some writing talents until someone who
thought I had that ability encouraged me. He even believes
everyone has the ability to be an author and he helps them
develop that talent.
I never really enjoyed the subject of English when I was in
school. And I surely didn't enjoy writing compositions either.
But I did enjoy writing my ebook "Absolutely Senior." I think
the reason I enjoyed writing it was because I wanted to share my
stories how I changed careers, how I overcame difficulties and
how I became successful as a sales rep and sales trainer. .
Now the purpose of my ebook was not to brag about my successes.
No, it was written for the purpose of giving other people
encouragement to strive for a more purposeful life. It reveals
how I was able to become a more vibrant and successful person
and how everyone else can do the same.
Why not give some serious thought about your own life right now.
Could you discover some talents in your life that have become
dormant over the years? Do you believe if you could restore some
of them and make them active again you could create and
stimulate more excitement in your own life and the lives of
others too? I believe you could. Why not try it?
Not sure how to go about it? Well here's some ideas I used to
help myself and my sales staff to accomplish more successes in
our lives. These ideas helped me and them to discover hidden
talents that we hadn't even thought about for a long long time.
Here's a step-by-step method that I used and taught to
accomplish this.
(1) Find a time and a quiet place where you can relax and think
(my lounge chair was always the ideal spot for me) The important
thing to remember is to get as relaxed as you can and in as
quiet a place as you can find. Also keep a note pad, pen and/or
pencil nearby.
(2)Close your eyes and start reminiscing about the past.
Hopefully you will think about pleasant things. If unpleasant
things appear don't dwell on them for too long. (However some of
them might be beneficial if they taught you're a valuable
lesson)
(3)Now start zeroing in on the thoughts and moments in your life
that could be beneficial in developing a "New You" (WOW! A "New
You") How would you like that? Let me tell you that you won't
know how great that feels until it happens to you.
(4)OK When you start getting some ideas that you feel are
beneficial or could inspire your life more write them down on
your note pad. Don't be too critical at this time about the
ideas that come to you, just write down whatever ideas come to
you first. Spent as much time doing this step for as long as it
keeps you interested.
(5)This is sorting out time now. So look at all the ideas you've
written down. Start checking off the ones that seem to get you
excited or inspired the most. (I suggest you narrow it down to
no more than six ideas).
(6)Alright now do this: Look at each of those six ideas (or
whatever number you came up with) and dwell on each one to get
the most vivid picture you can imagine. Also think of ways to
apply them. Now pick only one idea you want and start working on
it immediately while it's still fresh in your mind. Put every
effort into it to make it a reality. Then don't ever let anyone
or anything destroy your dream to succeed.
By applying this simple 6-step formula you'll be able to see if
you really are interested in creating a "New "You." Why not
start now and quit pretending that you are doing your best job
of living a fulfilling lifestyle. You need to remember, "You
have to live what's in you to succeed.
And you want to know something else? Whatever is in you may want
to desperately get out in the open and start working!
