Success Conscious: Know Thy Self

Success consciousness can mean many things to different people. My definition of success consciousness simply mean being vigilant to your weaknesses and quickly adjusting your behavior to counter your damaging thoughts. One must change their behavior and routines that support their new and inspiring beliefs of who they want to become and what they want to do. What you think affects what you feel. What you feel dictates what you do, and what you do determines what you get.
The first step in raising your awareness or becoming self conscious is to know yourself completely. Get in touch with your strengths, weaknesses, passions, and values. Set aside some time in your day for reflection; I call this me time. This could include listening to a piece of inspiring music, meditating, reading, praying, or simply doing nothing. Make a positive commitment to self discovery; understand who you truly are.
Understanding yourself will give you a deeper understanding of others. We are all human. We all face the same challenges, have the same fears, and are prone to the same mistakes. No one is perfect; therefore you should not allow anyone to rain on your parade. Nor should you get caught up in self sabotage. Keep your eye on the prize, and protect your dreams and self-esteem as if they were your most precious possessions.
As you begin to grow and evolve into the confident person you’re creating, consider testing the waters. Challenge yourself; this will help speed up the process. Start slowly and gradually increase as you gain more success and confidence. Do not be afraid to edify a friend who is struggling with similar issues. The best way to help youself is to help others. Express your gratitude and remain humble because success tends to bring out another side of us; more on that in another session. On a final note, opportunity is everywhere and is in every nuance of life; your level of success consciouness will determine how often you recognize it.
Cheers!
