"You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself." -- Jim Rhon
In Jack Canfield's book The Success Principles, he provides several key points required to be successful in life:
1. You must assume 100% responsibility for your life.
2. You have to give up all your excuses.
3. If you don't like your outcome, change your responses.
4. Everything you experience today is the result of choices you have made in the past.
5. If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you always got.
6. You have to give up complaining.
7. You either create or allow everything that happens to you.
If that's all it takes to be successful it should be simple, right? In reality it requires dedication and commitment. We must pay attention to what's happening around us, and even in us. We need to pay attention to our environment, we need to take steps (sometimes uncomfortable ones) to obtain our desired outcomes, and we need to be willing to take risks.
We mentioned paying attention to what was happening "in us". This may include physical signs (ex. a queasy stomach, a stress headache) and also requires we pay attention to our gut feelings, our intuition, or our "little voice".
"Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone". -- Robert Allen, author, One Minute Millionaire
Don't be afraid to make changes to obtain your desired result. Successful people quickly adapt to the changes required. Don't allow your self-talk (sometimes called "gremlins") to prevent you from stepping out of your comfort zone and taking the steps you need to take to be successful!
