Your Success: Is It Sustainable?

You have attended all the seminars and read all the books. You get pumped up and feel like a million bucks.  With every seminar and every book, you believe you have found the answer, the key, that will finally give you what you need to reach your goals and create lasting, sustainable success.  Then, slowly, day by day, you start to relax, take it easy and fall into the same old rut, only to repeat the cycle by reading another book or attending another seminar.

What makes some people go that extra mile and actually do the things you learn at the seminars and read in the books?  The twenty percent you always see at the top that not only reach their goals, but far exceed them?  Maybe the answer is in the goal itself.  The real purpose of a goal is never to obtain something of material value but rather the qualities that you will gain as a person in your pursuit of the goal. For you to have success that is sustainable you must develop a new mindset; a mindset that focuses not on what you must do to get what you want, but on what you must become to attract that which you want. What you become is what you get to keep. When you shift your focus to developing your character, you can start to use goals and success as a means to an end instead of it being the end-all and be-all of life.

You can either obtain success or you can become it. The objective is the same but the mindset is very different. You can either get the "things" that will make you feel successful or you can become the source of your own success and fulfillment. You want lasting results and this will only come from your ability to create and re-create, on demand, that which you wish to experience during your time on earth. Adopting the mentality of creating lasting success, of becoming sustainable, starts with realizing that true success comes from within.  Success is a feeling and in making that feeling part of who you are, you will never be without success and you will never be left wanting anything outside of you.

Let go of your need to obtain "stuff" and focus on improving yourself and pursuing goals that will make of you the kind of person that manifest that which you want most. That "stuff" will eventually disappear and loose its value. That which sustains you will sustain your goals,expand into unimaginable success and continue to increase the quality of your magnificent life.
