See it in your head, and you can hold it in your hand.
The common denominator of highly successful people is that they mold their skills into mastery. How do they do that?
First of all, they have a dream and a desire for something. This hunger gives energy to the daily pursuit of improving their skills into perfection.
Even though the result is not showing up right away, they keep trying because their conviction for success is so firm. They are willing to avoid short term gains for long term returns.
This consistent daily discipline is what's separates the best from the rest. These people are not goal-orientated; they are growth orientated. Not only are they learning new things, they also apply the learnings and reflecting over the result. It is your discipline that acts as the magic catalyst to give substance and depth to your ambition.
Repetition, feedback, and reflection is the mother of learning. Most people say that they will give it a try and see how it goes. It is like saying, "I will start up the car and drive down the road to see how far I'll go."
Instead, you must say, "I have filled up the tank, and I know I will be able to reach my destination."
To achieve amazing results, you need to put in massive action.
There are so many stories about people who have stopped trying, not knowing that they almost were about to make a breakthrough.
Edison, who created the light bulb, failed over a thousand times before he succeeded. His conviction was immensely strong, and when a reporter asked him how it felt like failing a 1,000 times, Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps. I don't see that as failing."
When you are that convinced nothing can stop you because you know that you will succeed no matter what. You will find a way and not be afraid of failing.
You instead see failure as something to be grateful for because you then know what not to do.
Your mind is a remarkable machine, and the sooner you realize that the sooner you will experience explosive growth and happiness in your life. When you start telling yourself the things you want to achieve and have, your subconscious mind will start working in that direction.
People who have become millionaires have already seen themselves succeeding long before they reach their financial destination.
The way they do this is by internalizing the feeling of being a millionaire. Daily self-talk and affirmations command your brain to start building new neurons (connections). This improved mind of yours starts working in your favor as an emerging millionaire.
"Fake it until you make it" is a saying that, together with actual hard work, is a winning formula. Use all of your senses and be creative. I have learned that some people go into an expensive car dealership to embrace the atmosphere and to feel the leather seat of their dream sports car.
Some people tip the waiter at the restaurant a little extra just as they would do if they were millionaires.
Create your game plan. Break it down too daily, weekly, monthly activities that you can tic off. You will be inspired and also see your progress as time goes by. Plan your life instead of reacting to it.
You will create a feeling of control. You are in charge of your life. You are also in charge of your brain, and when you learn to dance with your thoughts, you have reached another level that most people never do.
See it in your head, and you can hold it in your hand.
