Success: Character Building And Beyond
To build success, In addition to building your character you must develop yourself physically
, mentally, spiritually, financially and socially. These five areas speak directly about who you are and your character. When any of these five areas becomes out of balance, your character becomes out of balance.
For example, maybe you love to exercise but, as you get busy, you let exercise slide and you begin to feel worn down. This gets you out of balance physically.
If you are not dealing with your fears, you are out of balance mentally.
Being out of balance spiritually could be as simple as not looking at success from anything but a money perspective.
Being out of balance financially can happen to anyone and we should know how to get back in balance.
Being out of balance socially means that you have forgotten that you have family and friends, and have not kept them informed of what you are doing with your business or perhaps with your life. It may also mean that you have become disconnected from the social side of your business.
Your personal character has the greatest impact on your success, because once again, you are your business.
Your character also helps define your attitude toward success. You have been defining your character all your life and your vision of success has probably changed as your character has changed.
Think about what success was to you when you were in grammar school. Maybe it was making good grades, being accepted by friends and having athletic ability. Or, it might have been to be like your parents, having a job and being happily married with a family.
What was your vision of success when you were college age, or upon graduation? You probably had many plans for how you were going to make a success of your life. Perhaps you were going to find the job for which your education prepared you and start at a high salary level. Then you would get married and buy a house.
After you had been in the working world for a while, perhaps your idea of success changed to wanting to be at the top of your game, to perform well in whatever field you had chosen. Or, perhaps you were feeling out of control of your life and your idea of success had changed to getting back in control.
No matter what the definition of success is to you since your success comes down to your character you need to consider your character when you consider your success. And, you need to continuously build your character in order to continue on your journey of success.
Building your character means overcoming your fears, getting perspective and talking things out. Fear will always be there you just have to get used to it and learn how to work around it. When you are focused on fear, it can overwhelm you. When you are overwhelmed with fear, your character is weak. You will soon find that to build your character, you must face your fear and put it into perspective.
Another part of building your character is to learn to say no. Many of us are people pleasers, people who would rather do something they do not want to do instead of telling someone no. If you do that in business, you will end up spinning your wheels more than getting things done.
You can stay extremely busy pleasing people, both inside and outside of your business, and never get around to getting your business done or claiming your success.
