Turn your dreams into reality
Success is a progressive realisation of the way we go for an idea. It is not just about making money, because there are a lot of folk who are making big bucks, but they're miserable And there are a lot of people who have got all the wealth in the world but they don't find happiness.
There are five key areas to success:
Forgive yourself and other people
Dare to dream
Show determination and commitment
Be disciplined
Make a difference
1. Forgive yourself and others
To be successful in life, you have to learn to forgive yourself and others for things that have happened in the past. It's often easier to forgive others than forgive yourself, but you need to say "I am no longer a prisoner of the past, but a pilot of the future". You can not change what happened, you can only learn from it.
When you have had the courage and guts to forgive, you begin to realise that you then have the ability to stop blaming. It is easy to blame someone else, but when you do this you give up power to change.
By forgiving yourself, you cope with change and help create it. And how do you do this? By getting rid of negative emotions and developing a positive outlook on life. In order to be successful you cannot afford to have negativity in any area of your life.
This doesn't mean that you don't face challenges and crises as you strive to achieve your dreams, and ambitions. On the contrary, in Cantonese the word ?crisis? consists of two concept, danger and opportunity. We have to remember that in any crises there are opportunities, and we can choose to focus on dangers or opportunities. If you are able to forgive yourself, you focus on the opportunities and not the dangers.
2. Dare to dream
The poorest person in the world is the person without a dream, and the most frustrated person is a person with a dream that never becomes a reality. To be successful you need to live your own dream and not try to live the dreams that others have for you. You have to be successful for your own reasons. Share your dreams with others with care because negative people will discourage you from striving for your dream. All of us need encouragement as we dream. It is like oxygen to the soul.
In South Africa there are generally two kinds of people - undertakers, caretakers, and neither of these are dreamers. The undertakers are people that always criticise and say that something will never work. Caretakers are those who are always taking care of other people's dreams and never focus on their own potential.
3. Success is achieved by risk-takers
People are always looking for an opportunity and a way around the challenges of life.
When you dare to dream, you begin to use words like "it can be done", "it is possible" and you begin to understand the power of words. Words can build or break. Dreamers are people who can have a positive attitude - they realise that it is not what is happening to them that counts, i.e. how they react to the challenges. Dreamers think big and know that success does not come from doing the same the thing way at the same time. They constantly stretch themselves to improve.
4. Show determination and commitment
Staying power is all important in reaching your dreams and goals. You need determination and commitment. Embrace the 3Rs:
Resolve - Determined and committed people resolve to do things now because they are hungry for growth and for success.
Refrain - Determined and committed people refrain from talking to negative people and refrain from negative influences.
Repeat - Once you are successful you need to repeat the exercise so that you become moresuccessful. Success is a matter of repetition.
5. Be disciplined
As you mess with success, you understand that you have got to be disciplined. Self-discipline is often the missing element in people's lives. Nobody can discipline you, you have to do it yourself. At some time or another you have got to say ?No? to certain things in life - this is called delayed gratification - you pay now, you play later.
