Steps to Success

There is a road map to success and it is important that you begin to take the steps to reach your life goals whether it be stopping an addiction, getting a new job or improving a relationship.  So how do you start?  First recognize the importance of examining both the circumstances of your life (i.e. what is going on outside of you) as well as your emotional well-being (i.e. what is going on inside of you).

What does success mean to you?  Have you taken the time to identify what you are passionate about in your life?  What interests you?  What are your life values?  These areas provide us a sense of meaning in life and help us to move forward with a feeling of credibility and integrity.

List your life goals by examining both short and long-term goals.  Consider goals in segments of 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 10 years.  Remember that you have life goals outside of your work and the amount of money you want to make.  Examine all areas of your life.  Make an A-Z list of interests and see what arises.

Be aware of how to live purposefully.  Pay attention to your actions.  Are you feeling bored or disconnected?  Your time is something to be cherished, not wasted.  Live life to the fullest possible.

Make sure you learn something new every day be it a skill, knowledge or talent.  The more you educate yourself in any or all areas the more successful you will end up being.

Budget your money in smart ways.  Be financially aware and make healthy decisions regarding where you use your money.  Save for that rainy day while at the same time prioritize spending on those things that make life easier for you and your loved ones.

Time is a valuable commodity.  Work to be efficient.  Avoid unnecessary stress. Be organized and responsible.  We never get time back.
