What are the steps to success?

“The person who makes a success of living is the one who see his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.” ~ Cecil B. DeMille ~

The best advice one can take is to work on manifesting one’s dreams one step at a time. Just as one goes on a journey, one step at a time.

What is the starting point? The starting point is where ever you are. Remember that you are exactly where you should be and need to be. Just move forward one step at a time. It does not matter how big the steps only that they are forward.

We know that you may occasionally have to take a step back. By doing so you will get a boarder view of the situation, then move forward. We may also have to take a sidestep, just keep your eye on the prize.

The first step or stage on the road to success is contemplation. This is the planning stage. This is the time to sit and decide what it is you want and to gain clarity of goal and purpose. There is no set time frame for this step. It will take as long as it takes.

It is important not to rush this step. This is a time for soul searching. The clarity will only come from self honesty and clear thought. Only when you are crystal clear and feel it in your heart are you ready, go on to the next step.

The next step is preparation. This is another step that should not be hurried. You will be preparing on several different levels, mental, emotional, and physical. Work on your vision so you can see your dream as it would be realized. Work on feeling what it would be like once you have achieved your goal. Also start to gather those things that will aid you on your quest.

Remember, your thought process is like a hourglass. It starts the process then narrows until you have your solution. This is the time to stop the process and go on to the next step. If you do not and continue to think about it, the process begins to broaden again and you become bogged down with indecision.

Once your heart tells you that you are ready then it is time to take action. This is usually the hardest step because with it comes fear. The natural fear of unknowing what will come. Confront the fear and take action. Start your plan and do not worry about whether it is the right thing to do.

If you take a wrong step you can step back, re-evaluate and move forward again. If you do not take action nothing will get done. The more you take action the smoother and easier the flow will become.

Once you have established your flow you only have to maintain it. This is done with continued planning and action. Remember that anything you can see in your mind you have what it takes to make it a reality.

TODAY:S TIP: Reinforce your determination daily with affirmations and visualizations.

What step are you on?
