You want to achieve success in life, don't you? Yet do you sometimes feel as though, despite your best efforts, that you are not reaping the level of success you desire?
If yes, then it's time to identify and conquer your enemy, which is sabotaging your success. You may even be asking yourself.
"Why am I not achieving success?"
This is the wrong question to ask because it actually turns your focus away from what you want to achieve - success. However, if you asked instead,
"How can I achieve success?"
One answer would be,
"Conquer your enemy."
And, if you're puzzled as to what or who is your enemy the answer is simple. Your enemy is really your 'Inner Me'. Your inner self is the key to your success. It is the rudder which directs you in life and pre-determines your level of success.
If you are not getting the results you desire then work on your 'Inner Me' until you consistently start to achieve the goals which you set yourself. And the work doesn't stop there, for once you start to achieve success your vision will expand and the new goals you set will be even more challenging and more demanding. You will therefore have to keep working on your 'Inner Me' to ensure that it is in harmony with your expanded vision.
Your 'Inner Me' is really your mind and it is your mind and your thoughts that are creating your results. The reality of life is that your inner world is creating your outer world.
"Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes, And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The Tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills; he thinks in secret and it comes to pass: Environment is but his looking-glass."
James Allen, "As a Man Thinketh"
So, if you don't like your current reality start to work on the enemy within if you want to create lasting change.
The trouble is people are often reluctant to do what it takes to make positive change. I often hear that working on your inner self or working on your mind is hard. Well, it really is no harder than remaining in your current position.
This may sound harsh but you can either choose results or excuses. You can't have both. Doing the work on your 'Inner Me' will pay huge dividends. When you do the work on you, your actions will, as a consequence, change and the intent and power behind your actions will also change. This will ultimately lead to changes in your results. I say "ultimately" because the changes may not be immediately apparent.
You will have to be patient, remain focused and persistent in your efforts. Often it will be when you are pushed to your limits that success will come knocking at your door.
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, never give up then, for that is just the time that the tide will turn."
Harriet Beecher Stowe
However, conquering your 'Inner Me' is like fighting an opponent you cannot see. I am reminded of one of Jean Claude Van Damme's films, "Kickboxer", where he was temporarily rendered blind during a fight.
At first, he lashes out wildly and in panic but then he calms himself and he starts to use his inner resources. He starts to draw upon his other senses. He overcomes his panic, his fear, his opponent and his enemy. Or, should I say, his 'Inner Me'
Similarly, you have deep within, vast treasure troves of resources. They may be a little stiff from disuse at the moment but with practice you can make them flexible again. For instance, your intellectual facilities which are your:
~ Memory,
~ Perception,
~ Imagination,
~ Will Power,
~ Intuition, and
~ Ability to Reason.
These will serve you well, as long as you put them to use on a regular basis.
Memory
Your memory will help you to quickly recall detailed information you need to make timely decisions.
"The existence of forgetting has never been proved. We only know that some things don't come to mind when we want them."
Friedrich Nietzsche
Perception
Your perception will allow you to see a situation from multiple perspectives thereby giving you a distinct advantage in being able to find solutions to the challenges you face.
"The reality of life is that your perceptions - right or wrong - influence everything else you do. When you get a proper perspective of your perceptions, you may be surprised how many other things fall into place."
Roger Birkman
Imagination
Your imagination will allow you to see things as you wish them to be and not necessarily as they are. This is the first step in re-creating your world.
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."
Albert Einstein
Will Power
Your will power will give you the strength to be persistent and to hold onto to your vision.
"You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will."
Epictetus
Intuition
Your intuition will draw upon information that you are not consciously aware of and instinctively guide you through the darkest corridors.
"Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once."
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Ability to Reason
Your ability to reason will demonstrate to you how and why you must be successful.
"There is only one reason for an individual to side-step to the useless side: the fear of a defeat on the useful side."
Alfred Adler
Develop these intellectual faculties and you will strengthen your 'Inner Me', conquer your enemy and achieve great success in life.
An excellent program that will help you to develop your intellectual faculties and achieve your goals is the LifeSuccess Goal Achiever program.
