RISKING SUCCESS
Each of us have our own definition of success, it�s a personal and moving goal in our lives. There are moments in our careers when success seems illusive. You may have noticed then that we often have doubts, we hesitate perhaps to take action or to demonstrate our commitment to our goal. Our mind speaks loudly to us about avoiding risk, how we are not doing it good enough.
Some of us say we want more success. It may be something that we have not fully experienced. It is also a challenge to that part of our mind which is totally committed to opposing and delaying change. It is when we are close to success that this opposition appears the strongest. That is also a hint for us to keep moving forward, the breakthrough to success is at hand.
At the point of breakthrough is the risk of succeeding in itself. What would happen to us if we were totally successful? It might mean more responsibilities and a wide range of unknowns. And so, through the fear of success we hold ourselves back.
Determination is a big factor in success, including the determination to keep going in the face of our own apparent internal opposition. Determination is a demonstration of our own courage.
The common thread to all of these factors is our own inner thoughts and attitudes. Allow change to be OK, it�s when we stop opposing change that more ease appears in our lives. Take on the risk of succeeding, it will not be difficult on the other side, only different. And that too, will become the familiar!
Success is an inside job.
NEVER GIVE UP! RISK SUCCESS!
