Why is it that when a baby is born, we often refer to them as “the miracle of life,” but then go on to accept mediocrity for our own lives? Where along the way did we lose sight of the miracle that we are living?
When we were born, everyone assured us that we could do, have, and be anything we wanted when we grew up. So, now that you’ve grown up, are you doing, having, and being anything and everything you’ve ever wanted? Or somewhere along the way, did you redefine “anything and everything” to include settling for less than you truly want?
To create the levels of personal, professional, and financial success you desire, you must first dedicate time each day to becoming the person you need to be, one who is qualified and capable of consistently attracting, creating, and sustaining the levels of success you want.
Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development because success is something you attract by the person you become.
We all want Level 10 success, in every area of our lives—health, happiness, finances, relationships, career, spirituality, you name it—but if our levels of personal development (knowledge, experience, mindset, beliefs, etc.) in any given area are not at a Level 10, then life is always going to be a struggle.
If you want your life to be different, you have to be willing to do something different first! Until we dedicate time regularly to developing ourselves into the person we need to be to create the life we want, attaining success is always going to be a struggle.
95% of our society will never create and live the life they really want. We must embrace the fact that if we don’t commit to thinking and living differently than most people now, we are setting ourselves up to endure a life of mediocrity, struggle, failure and regret—just like most.
To become the best version of ourselves, focus on growing and being the best you can be, pursuing your dreams and inspiring others to do the same. That is your purpose.
