"Maybe it is time to consider living dangerously. Maybe it's time to reject the commands of power, the dictates of society and public opinion, and to stop worrying about what other people think about what you do. You have the power and ability to create your own reality — to change what isn't working and to manifest what you desire."
— Dick Sutphen

What Does It Take To Be Sucessful?

2009-02-16T12:35:00.000-08:00

The answer to the above question is surprisingly simple: A Decision. A decision to be successful is all that it takes. Granted there are steps involved in that process, but it all starts with a simple decision.

Then there is the Be, Do, Have Principle. By the way, our society has it backwards, as Have, Do, Be. Imagine being the successful person, already, despite your "circumstances." What would that successful person do? What would they have? It all starts with "being." Society has it as "have" the thing, "do" the thing, "be" that person. Do you see the contrast in that? If we wait until we "have" whatever it is we are "waiting" for, we'll never get there!

When I worked full time for someone else, I was happy and successful; granted I was stressed out and broke, but I was happy because I knew who I was: A successful woman. Being self employed has taken that level of happiness and success much higher than I ever imagined possible.

The other concept I want to touch on here is our comfort zone. So often we are held back from success because real growth requires that we step out of our comfort zone. Remember, security is an illusion. There is no guarantee that you'll get across that street when you cross it. And yet it is required if you want to get somewhere. Sure there is risk involved, but isn't personal freedom worth all the risk in the world? For me, it is absolutely worth it. Now, I know I have been growing tremendously, because I am way out of my comfort zone.

I spent ten years in healthcare and fired my boss in October 2008 when I started my own business. Was I reasonable? Absolutely not! Am I responsible? You bet I am, because I am "at cause" over my life. Granted I could have "waited" until I started to produce income with my business, but that would have been living at the "effects" of life. Instead, I took unreasonable action and full responsibility for my life. No one can do that for you!

Looking back over my life thus far, I can see that major growth has occurred when I've made these bold decision. When I was 18 years young, I was going to go to art school in Milwaukee. Instead, I decided to follow the Grateul Dead. If I wouldn't have made that decision to be free, I wouldn't be the woman I am today. Traveling on the road wasn't easy, mind you, but it instilled in me an everlasting faith in the goodness and kindness of others. I know in my heart people are good, kind, and generous, because I experienced it first hand. I didn't know how I was going to eat that day, travel to the next big city, or where I would sleep that night, but somehow I survived and thrived. The universe provided and supported me. This time around, because what I am "being" is for the greater good of all, I know the universe will support me even further. I am grateful for the lessons I have learned in life and freedom I have had to choose that very thing: freedom.

Be Blessed and Grateful that you can choose freedom! I sure am!

What did Gandhi mean by this quote? How can a person be the change? It is really quite simple. By being the desired outcome an individual changes their "vibration" which then attracts that desired result.

What do I mean by this? Let me put it more simply. When we want love, happiness, or joy, that change in being comes through the decision. First I decide I want happiness and joy. Then I decide that I am happy and joyful. By meditating on this concept of joy, love, and happiness I change my state of being so I become this happy, loving, joyful being.

When we become what it is we want to see we create that in ourselves, which in turns attracts more of that into our life. You see, the law of attraction is very powerful. We are each like a magnet. We attract into our life that which we are "being." So if we are worrying about life, that is just what we get, more worry. However, if we are happy with our life and more importantly, grateful, that is what we will attract: more happiness, more gratitude!

This is a very powerful concept that I invite you to practice on a daily basis. When we change our "being" we change our vibration. This causes us to vibrate at a higher level and attract more good things into our life. Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on the positive; instead of focusing on the wanting, focus on having/being it already. You too will realize this wonderful state of "being."
