Do you love your life journey?
Do you love your life journey? “I do that!” Oh, well done, well done, well done! Feel free to figure out and enjoy this journey! In the meantime…Some replies might mean “No, I don’t,” yet “yes…” Oh, no problem, you have to make the adjustments full time! It’s never too late to change or just enhance your life. It’s never too late to succeed in your life.
What if success isn’t a moving goal, something to be followed, but it might be an ongoing experience of living your life once you have determined what this means to you. I really feel it’s the way to develop a life that you enjoy to create your own definition of success. Well, you could wind up losing yourself by letting others’ expectations, judgement and views influence you. Your assumptions of achievement go back to your childhood and family life. You have tried to live to the heights of your entire life by reflecting on external and internal demands, which is a good starting point for your prosperous life.
As a trainer, I saw some well-run adults still feel the strain of their families in their work. Both the examples of the success storey in the family and the family can have a significant and binding effect. In this scenario, it is vital to remember that it is not about insulting or dropping your family to select your own unique path and experience. It is about your “moral obligation” (if not your birthright) to live your whole life. Let us be clear here, no matter what your parents ask from you, it comes out of a place of love. They sincerely feel that they teach you how to be secure and well-being based on their knowledge and experience.
While external expectations are about what people expect of you, internal expectations are related to your expectations. They go hand in hand, most certainly. Sometimes, you interpret and convert external expectations into inside or, worst of all, limiting beliefs that influence your thinking, decision-making and life. Awareness of your expectations can change your life. You still attempt to live up to or about any limited faith that prevents you from constructing your life and success in harmony with the genuine self.
Create your own success strategies
I am sure that when you try to meet your life’s external demands, you can move through life well. The question now is, do you want to live ‘all right’ or do you want to live an extraordinary life? That is entirely and completely in keeping with your actual beliefs and honouring who you are? Although this might take courage, it’s not too hard to do. And many often, it’s all about your thinking. It’s all about who you are, changing your viewpoints, developing new ways to think and accomplish things in your life. Despite that, there is no doubt that you need self-awareness about what is important and why to completely trust and benefit from the process. It is crucial to clarify yourself and your goals and dreams, rather than how they appear for others, and realise them.
Where To Start
If you choose a journey that enhances your life, it either redefines what your success means or simply improves something here and there. The most significant way to start is to become curious about yourself. Begin by asking yourself: what else in your life would you like to experience? What stops you from your life? What stops you from living? Go on. Go on. Go deeper. Go deeper.
Take your imagination into your own perspective of success. Take away expectations and the traditional success definition. How you guide your life are the key values. What are the objectives and dreams you want to achieve? What do you think about, what conduct, what experiences you might let go of (but also what purposes!). What are your strengths and talents to explore?
Once you’ve done enough self-exploration, get perfectly clear where you actually want to go and where you are.
Brainstorm ideas and learn how to bridge the gap.
Work on your thinking. Work your talent. Adapt your position to situations you do not control, and focus on what you control. Make stocks and find methods to (re) use what you already have (experiences, resources, relationships, talents).
Make an action plan! We may argue here all day about what your life might look like, but things will not change if you don’t make any meaningful efforts towards it. You’ll be creating more of the same, as they say!
All of that said, I’m sure, some days more than others we all enjoy our life. If this is the case, concentrate on the bright days. The positive features ensure that your blessings are counted. Celebration makes your life love so much more! Naturally, be aware that everything in the present moment is light and happy. And last but not least. If you redefine success on your own terms and conditions, avoid the incessant need to follow the next major task. However, don’t forget to learn to enjoy the process more and celebrate and enjoy each achievement.
