How are you going as you climb your ladder?
Are you concentrating on your goal and taking each step you need to take to get there? 
More importantly are you staying focused?
I think this is one of the most important issues as you climb and that is having the determination to stay focused. Imagine climbing a ladder and getting distracted by a bee that keeps hovering around you, losing focus as you climb could mean disaster.
In the last post we looked at the first of the three steps to becoming successful from Og Mandino’s book, University of Success, Know What You are Doing, in this post we will look at the next two:-
- Love What You are Doing and
- Believe in What You are Doing
Love What You are Doing
In Mandinos’ book we are told if we don’t love what we are doing then we are being underpaid (p 296), that is not going to create wealth in your life. Working in an area you don’t enjoy can be one of the biggest drains on your energy and optimism. Can you really perform at your peak if you don’t like what you’re doing, if there is no passion for your work?
If you’re not doing what you love start looking for ways to change that and may I suggest in the meantime to find what you have to be grateful for. Complaining about your life is not focusing on where you want to go and it will just give you more to complain about.
Believe in What You are Doing
People are persuaded by passion and belief, one thing that is common among great achievers is the belief in what they are doing. Belief breeds dedication and dedication will keep you on track.
I like this little anecdote from University of Success, (O.Mandino p 299).
An old tramp was sitting on a park bench, he had holes in his shoes and pants he was also badly in need of a wash and a shave. He watches as a Rolls Royce goes by driven by a chauffeur, carrying a man in a tall silk hat and says, “There except for me, go I.”
What are your beliefs, do they carry you forward or hold you back?
The world is like a mirror showing you what your thoughts, beliefs and enthusiasm have created, change them if you need or want to and you will change your world.
So there we have three great steps to examine and take as you climb the ladder to your success, follow them and you will reach the top.
Today’s Power Thought
My life is a mirror, with that knowledge I can grow and change.
