Your Imagination Is the Key to Your Future

Success has a structure; it is a formula which is essentially very very simple. It starts with:
-Knowing where you want to go in life
-Knowing where you are now in life.
-And then knowing what you are going to do about it.
-Finally it comes down to those three very important words
-Just doing it.
It Sounds easy but it is not that straight forward for the majority of us.
People only work their hardest and genuinely give of their best when they really want to, when it matters to them. Whilst there is some place for motivational tools in terms of encouraging people to take action, real sustainable success will not come about until people themselves choose to give their best.
In my experience people give their best when they identify with;
o The culture of a business
o The vision of a business
o The values of a business
The deeper this identity is then the more productive the relationship will be.
Essentially there are three key aspects that actually determine if we can achieve something to be successful and to realise our true potential. These are:
-Our Experiences
-Our knowledge
-Our Imagination

It is actually imagination that plays the biggest single part of our achievements and our leadership. So I want you to ask yourself, Are you the kind of person that says? 'I'll believe it when I see it' OR 'I'll see it when I believe it'. The artist Vincent Van Gogh believed in the latter. He said,'I dream my painting then I paint my dream'.
So being successful starts with mindset-believing in yourself and your vision of your future. This is absolutely critical as our thoughts are extremely powerful in terms of bringing us what we want but first you need to be very clear and precise on what it is you want. The next step is to set some goals and these should be clear and specific, thereby improving the possibility of the mind following instructions, in particular, the subconscious mind which is the key to breaking habits or clearing self-limiting beliefs.
Then it pays to take the time to write down those goals. Statistics reveal that only about 3% of people actually do this but it is a proven technique utilised by successful individuals because it significantly reinforces the intention. The practice of utilising visualisation to focus on your goals is another secret to success. You need to take the time to feel the emotion of what achieving those goals will actually mean to you and do for you. The stronger that belief is the greater chance of success you will have in overcoming the many setbacks, coping with a good deal of rejection and in ignoring those people who tell you that you to forget your dreams.
Become a student of personal development, surround yourself with people who are going where you want to go and learn from those who have already got there. Success is a formula which can be learned and duplicated. Embrace change don't fight it. You will need to take regular action and you will also need to take some calculated risks; procrastination is the enemy of success.
Sometimes it is incredibly hard to maintain a positive mindset when you have had repeatable knocks and disappointments but all talented entrepreneurs know that failure is an inherent part of success. That is how Post It notes and Liquorice Allsorts got invented.

So failure itself may not be fatal, often it can be at times of chaos or tragedy in our lives when we find out truly what makes our heart sing. It is this burning desire called passion that pushes us on to even greater levels of success. A key characteristic of winners is that they never give up they just keep practising and practising until they have success in their sights. So you will need to stay disciplined and committed and remember that in order to breakthrough you will need to learn to do things differently.
Ultimately you need to pursue your passions and follow your heart if you want to achieve real sustainable success.
'Focussing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself and it will leave you unfulfilled' -Barack Obama
