Is your work or life in general ho-hum that you are just going through the motions on autopilot. At work, are you just there? If this is you now, there is not a good chance that you will find success if you continue. Success is in your judgement and attitude. Success is doing what it is that you truly love. This does not mean that there aren’t struggles and battles along the way. It does mean that for most of the time, we are happy with what we are doing.

Success Starts Internally

First off, lets discuss mindset and attitude. When your mindset and attitude is positive, you see the good things that are coming, and you don’t hyper focus on the bad. It makes life gentler and easier, not such a struggle all the time. You are able to take appreciation from what you are doing. Your interacting with others in a more confident manner. Your self-talk and your words with others is much more happier and more cheerful and that makes it easier for you and everyone around you to be happier. It makes what you are doing more enjoyable. Work on your mentality and your self-talk. Catch the negative ideas and words then change them to the positive. When you start getting negative about yourself, remember: it’s a trash can, not a trash can’t.

Success Externally

Now let’s discuss what you are doing. To be successful you need to be doing something you love. That does not mean there will be some parts you don’t like so much or don’t do so well. However the majority of what you are doing will be what you enjoy. How do you figure out what that is? Let’s take a hint from your past. Think about the times where you were doing something you were really happy doing. These instances don’t even have to be when you doing anything well. Anything that come to mind are called accomplishments. The goal is to have more of them over a time. Write them out then look for trends and bases affecting what you were doing, how you were doing it, what the conditions were, what you worked with and how you were relating with people. Your list will give you a good idea of what you need to be doing. These will act as bases and trends. The end is just as important as the beginning.
