Recipe for success

Recipe for success.
See it - Believe it - Plan it - Do it
See it - Everything is created twice, first in your internal world, your imagination, and then in your external world, your life. Everything that exists to-day was first a thought. It could not exist if someone had not thought of it, because it is the thought that gives rise to the act of creation.
What you must learn, is to picture what you want and not what you fear. All too often we say "I don't want this to happen again" when we should be saying "I want this to happen" Always ask for, and picture, what you want. See yourself as already being the way you want to be or having the thing you want to have.
Not only must you see what you want, you must see it clearly. Describe in detail what your desired outcome is and then take ownership of that outcome. Realise that it must be real to you before it can become real for you.
Believe it - This is an essential element of the process. All too often we say one thing but believe another. We want to lose weight but we do not believe we can. We want to change jobs but we do not believe that there are any opportunities or that we have the necessary skills.
Your belief in your goal must be on two levels. Firstly you must believe that there is value in the achievement of your goal, that it is worth doing. Everyone's favourite radio station is WIIFM (What's In It For Me) What will you gain by achieving your goal? How will your life improve? Remember that underlying every action is an intent and it is the intent that is the driving force behind your actions.
Secondly you must believe that you can do it. You must develop an unshakeable faith in your ability to succeed. Confidence in your ability to achieve your goal is essential to your willingness to take action. Realise that you have already managed to achieve many successes in your life up to now. Build a success foundation foryourself by writing down all the successes that you have had up to now. Imagine that you were applying for the job of achieving your goal and write your application showing all the reasons why you would be suitable for the post.
Plan it - Success is a process not a destination and as such needs a plan of action to ensure success. The funny thing about life is that most people plan their holidays with more care than they plan their lives, but that's understandable I mean holidays happen only once a year and life, well, that's forever isn't it.
Work out what you have to do in order to achieve your goal. What resources do you need? What resources do you already have? Remember it's not what you've got it's how you use it that counts. Set objectives, these are the steps of your journey. Refer constantly to your plan, it's the only way to measure your progress.
Do it - Funny thing about ideas, they won't work unless you do. Now that you know what you want to do and why you want to do it the only thing left is to get started, and the only time to get started is now, (when did you ever do anything tomorrow?)
Believe this, the future belongs to those who believe in and act on their dreams. Faith is the wind beneath the wings of your dreams, belief is the engine and action is the fuel. So take charge of your life and determine your future with this "Recipe for success. See it - Believe it - Plan it - Do it"
