3 Secrets to success

What successful people do differently, and you don’t? Why you perceive others are fortunate and you are not. The thing is, you had the same opportunities as others had. But you never made it clear to yourself and to others, so you did not grab the opportunity.

The meaning of success is different for everyone, for some success might be financial, for some emotional, it may be spiritual for someone, etc. Whatever you desire and want in your lives, if you can achieve it you consider yourself successful, but how many of us know what we want in our life?

I will tell you the secret steps to success, and if you follow them diligently nobody can stop you from reaching your desired state in life.

Energy: It is an ultimate Power

The first key to success is ENERGY. I have yet to find a single successful person on this earth, who lacks this major ingredient for success.

I can talk of all the success mantras and tools to make you live a bold and successful life, but if you mess up your energy, you can get nowhere. You will be in no position to work towards your desired life. If you don’t know how to have high energy levels, no form of motivational talks, books, videos, blogs, etc. will help in your life.

Who wants to be with an individual or a leader who has little energy? Nobody does... Then do you think people will listen to you when you are at a low energy level? We all love to be with individuals who have positive energy around them.

Positive energy gives you the momentum to drive towards your desired way of life. It inspires every cell in your body to perform towards excellence. Whereas negative energy will not let you do anything and won’t let you move towards your desired state. Work daily towards building up energy and become the instruments so you can tap into the proper frequency and energy to achieve the maximum. Things that help to build up energy are regular exercise, proper diet, reading excellent material for at least thirty minutes a day, keeping yourself hydrated, and meditation. It is as important to take care of the energy-depleting sources as it is working up for building positive energy.

Factors that rob our energy

Our internal communication: Words have tremendous power. What we say to ourselves has a direct impact on us and determines how we communicate with others. If we assert we are nobody, we will be nobody. If we assert we can accomplish anything, we will achieve anything; limitations are only in our minds.

Our thoughts: As soon as you get up from the bed, thoughts pour into your mind. if you concentrate on constructive thoughts, you will have significant energy and you will look forward to having a beautiful day. But, if you allow the negative thoughts to get entertained in your mind, immediately your energy will deplete and you will find everything wrong in the same beautiful morning. You will not be in any mood to get up from the bed and live those another awesome 24 hrs that God has gifted you. It’s up to you how you use that precious gift from God.

“You Wake up in the morning and lo! Your purse is magically filled with twenty – four hours of un-manufactured tissue of the universe of your life. It is yours. It is the most precious of your possessions. No one can take it from you. It is un-stealable. And no one receives either more or less than you receive.”

Arnold Bennett

Most of us think what goes into our minds or the emotional states we get into are because of the outside world and we don’t control it. But the truth is you can control your thoughts and hence the emotions these thoughts generate. By taking control over the actions or responses you give to those thoughts. If you’re depressed, you created and produced that show of depression in your mind with a series of actions or inactions. If you say you are elated, you created that too.

Emotions are energy in motion, so whatever emotions you have, you don’t catch them from somewhere you create them internally through specific mental and physical actions; you create those momentums or motions to feel bad and be in a lower energy level. To be depressed and deplete your energy, you need to perform certain actions; talk to yourself in a certain tone of voice, lie, or sit in a certain physical posture.

“The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.”

Tony Robbins

How can we break the pattern of thoughts and change the state, hence our energy levels?

Because of this Covid situation, some have lost their jobs, some have lost their businesses or their earnings have plummeted, leading them to depression and no energy to look forward to something great in their lives. Even I have had to stop my business operations as the hospitality industry is the most impacted one. But then I thought; what I have now and realized that I have plenty of time in my hand and it has been years since I have upgraded my knowledge and invested in myself. Then I started reading the books and attended a few training sessions to help myself, and I could see the blessing in disguise. I could attend the seminars and workshops of the topmost international speakers sitting at my home, which would not have been possible otherwise.

It shifted my state from negative to positive, and now I dared to write a book and start my blogs. The situations and events happen, only how we perceive them and assign meaning to them generates feelings and emotions in our mind and body. But we can control how we respond and take actions, change our state of mind from negative to positive. For me, I could have sulked in the situation, but I rose above it by taking action. Sometimes we feel things are not in our hands and we get negative and lose our productivity. Before you allow that negative energy to build up and rob you of your desired life, take action, and break the pattern.

Break the pattern of the negative state and low energy by:

1. Just get up from the place, stand in an upright position, and bring a gigantic smile on your face and be in that position for at least 1 minute. You can’t have negative thoughts when you are standing upright in a superman position.

2. Play your favorite motivational music or a dancing number jump and dance for a few minutes. Your pattern of thoughts will break and your energy level will shift.

3. Fix a place in your home where you will never allow the negative thoughts to creep in, do your most productive work there so that negativity has no room when you work at that place.

By understanding the importance of energy and working towards building it up and not allowing the sources to rob you of the energy, you can be sure of building up momentum towards the success and life you want.

In the next blog, we will discuss the next very important step towards success and these are FOCUS and MASSIVE ACTIONS. Looking forward to seeing you again in a week. Till then work on building up energy and momentum towards success.
