5 Mental Strength Tips On Living A Successful Life
It seems everyone and their grandmothers are constantly seeking the secrets to true personal success. Since most individuals have their own definition of what personal success is, there really is no one clear-cut formula.
There are however certain traits that are common in many high achievers. The following are five mental strength tips that will help you live a life of power, purpose and passion…basically a successful life.
1. Learn, Discard, And Create:
Learn what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own.
All throughout our lives, we are educated and forced to learn things about society, people, religion, politics and life…all from someone else.
Many of these teachings will be of no use to you in creating your future. Keep what resonates with your Soul, that which you know will be good for you. Then, discard the disposable information; it will only tend to confuse your mind.
When you were younger and just starting out learning about math, reading, science, etc it was delivered in a “one size fits all” program. Now that you have moved on from that style of learning is time to purge your mental cache.
It is up to you to determine which information supports you and your personal goals and which information does not.
Become a master at your craft.
Seek out the resources that are required for your personal success at your chosen profession. Then add a dash of uniqueness and make your life your own by adding your personality.
This way, you know that the knowledge you acquired, combined with application in real life, plus your additional perspective makes for a life lived with power, purpose and passion!
2. Go Beyond Your Limitations:
Most high achievers were told that they couldn’t do it. They were told they where too poor, too inexperienced, too unattractive, or too weak to achieve any sense of personal success.
Don’t let others limitations become your limitations!
Use your mental strength and learn to break down the barriers of your comfort zone.
Be open to change, possibilities and adventure!
Believe you can do it.
Remember, there is no failure only feedback. Use your feedback to motivate yourself into doing more than you thought possible. Think powerful and positive thoughts. These thoughts will lead to powerful and positive action that will help you break out of your self-imposed limitations and on to achieving your personal success.
3. Set Goals:
Have you ever gone through a phase in your life and realize that you don’t really have a goal? Feels like you’re just wandering around doesn’t it?
Always have personal goals you’re striving for. This serves as the itinerary of your life. Every major or minor decision you make should be geared towards the fulfillment of your personal goals.
Then, when you set your goals, be patient and be flexible. Don’t be discouraged by delays or minor setbacks…you have your entire life to reach them. No success is lasting if it’s easy to get.
To be a truly successful person, your goals must not only be for your own benefit, but for the good of everyone in your life. And to really be successful, you must be in harmony with everyone else. No real success is borne out of the misery of others. Remember karma, you reap what you sow. Don’t step on anybody’s toes on your way to the top. It’s lonely being alone on your pedestal.
4. Create Your Own Destiny:
You are the master of your life – it’s no one else’s life but yours. In other words, you and only you can work towards your own success. If you rely on others to achieve your personal success you are not taking responsibility for your results.
Someone else is determining your destiny.
The simplest way to be accountable and responsible for creating your destiny is to follow your path with heart. That is, to follow the reason why you are here! If you need help with finding your path, check out The Warrior Quest.
When you use your mental strength and follow your path with heart, you have empowered yourself to live a life of destiny.
I said this is simplest way, not the easiest way. Simple because once you’re on your path there are very few decisions to make. Because of this, your life will not be easy. Others might look at you as if you’ve lost your mind.
You can rest assured that when you are on your path you are creating your own destiny!
5. Have a Clear Conscience:
Have integrity. This is probably one of the most ignored aspects of success. What good is success if you achieved it in not-so-good ways? Always strive to be the best person you can possibly be.
Remember, that integrity is believing, thinking, speaking and acting all in the same way.
This will take mental strength and when you are aligned, that is, when you are in integrity, you will always have a clear conscience about all that you do.
This last tip is the tip that will give you inner and emotional strength and success. It’s the one which will give you peace of mind.
As Zig Ziglar said, “Money will buy you a good comfortable bed, but it will not buy you a good night’s sleep.”
