Being in the Success 'Zone'
by Damien Clarke
The Success Zone
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “in
the zone,” particularly as it applies to athletes or others who
are unstoppable as they work towards their goal.
Sometimes you can be in the zone regarding your success and
nothing gets in your way; other times you can do everything
right and find that whatever can go wrong, will. Here are
4 thoughts on creating the habit of successful thinking and
getting “in the zone.”
1. Expect Success to be Yours
The road to success is always bumpy with many rocks and
obstacles in your way. Regardless of what people think, the
road to success is never smooth. Your true test of
character, attitude and commitment will become evident When you
hit those inevitable bumps in the road. All three character
traits, if positive, will help get you “in the zone” or at
least, keep you there.
2. Success Breeds Success
Success is
contagious and has an ability to gain momentum and build on
past successes. Most people are encouraged by the success they
have (big or small) and it helps them believe that anything is
possible. For some it is hard to believe without
evidence. That's why so many people have difficulty
losing weight, as the picture they hold of themselves being fit
and healthy doesn't match current reality as the results are
not being seen fast enough. We all need smaller goals within
the bigger ultimate goal.
3. You Must Choose Success
We all have the power to choose the attitude we want to have
for the day. We can choose to be happy and optimistic for
what the day may bring, or we can be negative and pessimistic
and quite frankly, not a nice person to be around. You can
choose to look on the positive side, just as you can choose
success. Too often we blame others for our lack of success,
when we should be taking responsibility for our actions and
choosing to be successful.
4. Experts Don’t Know Everything
Do you follow your gut instincts or intuition for when you have
a plan, even though it goes against all conventional
wisdom? Or do you listen to what the so-called 'experts'
are saying? The 'experts' are quite often wrong. If
all successful people had listened to all of the so-called
'experts'in the early days of their journey, it's a fair bet
that they would have given up on their dreams and gone against
their gut instincts.
Remember - success is a mindset, it's more than just
wealth!
