We all aspire to do, be, and have great things. Yet most of us simply haven’t created the successful life we want, yet.
We complain that we don’t have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. We point fingers and blame outside problems that “happen” to us and make life more difficult.
But what we need to understand and keep at the forefront of our minds is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves.
Regardless of personal circumstances, economic climates, and access to resources, it helps to maintain faith in the fact that we each are more powerful than we think. We all have the ability to create the life we want. We just need to learn how to do it.
Is there an exact “formula”?
No, but there are certain common features that you have the power to cultivate and practice to attract what you want in life. Here are some lessons that will help you manifest the best version of yourself in 2022!
1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life
One of the greatest myths that is pervasive in our culture today is the idea that you are entitled to a great life – and that somehow, somewhere, someone is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, nurturing family time, and blissful personal relationships simply because we exist.
But the real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live. That person is you.
Everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing. Income. Debt. Relationships. Health. Fitness level. Attitudes and behaviors. That person who reflects back at you in the mirror is the chief conductor in your life. Say hello!
Successful people take full responsibility for the thoughts they think, the images they visualize, and the actions they take.
Invest in a good planner that will help you write down and visualise your goals. A planner helps you to stay consistent and in line with your thoughts, vision and beliefs.
2. Be Clear About Your Purpose
Everyone of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take.
They take the time to understand what they’re here to do, and then they pursue that purpose with passion and enthusiasm.
If you don’t know what you’re supposed to be doing, tune in to the signals around you. Looking toward others for help and guidance is helpful, but don’t forget to stay tuned in to yourself—your behavior, attitude, likes and dislikes, and life experiences.
Invest in some tools that help you to identify what’s working and what isn’t. If you need to, write it all down. You might be surprised by what you discover.
3. Believe It Is Possible
Your mind is such a powerful instrument, it can deliver literally everything you want. But you have to believe that what you want is possible.
Some of the biggest successes in business, politics, sports and entertainment credit the Law of Attraction and visualization for their success. As legendary basketball player Michael Jordan once put it, “You must expect great things from yourself before you can do them.” As a business leader, you have to envision yourself in the place you want to be before you can get there.
As you commit to believing in yourself, also make a commitment to toning down the complaint department. Look at what you are complaining about:
I’m fat.
I’m tired.
I can’t get out of debt.
I won’t ever get a better job.
I can’t stand the relationship I have with my father.
I’ll never find a soul mate in life.
Really examine your complaints. More than likely you can do something about them. They are not about other people, other things, or other events. They are about YOU.
4. Believe in Yourself
If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen.
Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes; the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.
Have unwavering faith in yourself, for good and bad. Make the decision to believe that you create all your experiences. You will experience successes thanks to you, and you will experience pain, struggle, and strife thanks to you.
Sounds a little strange, but accepting this level of responsibility is uniquely empowering. It means you can do, change, and be anything. Use the power of self affirmations to build the confidence that you need to ace in life!
5. Use Goal Cards for Setting Goals
Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work day and night to achieve. To engage your subconscious mind, a goal has to be measurable.
When there aren’t any criteria for measurement, it is simply something you want, a wish, a preference, or a good idea.
Sometimes we need to make just one initial goal to get started, and that’s okay. At least it comes with a few actions to achieve. A first step simply can be making an immediate change in a single area in your life.
Remember that self-motivated people win at life so always push yourself to accomplish your goals and learn new skills.
If you want a different outcome, change your behavior
Making a change might be uncomfortable and overwhelming for you. It might mean you have to put in more time, money, and effort. But if you find the right ways to help you, the journey will be easier.
Pro tip: Use daily affirmations and a good planner to focus on your goals and reprogram your subconscious mind.
