I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “in the zone,” particularly
as it applies to athletes or others who are unflappable as they
eye the goal. Sometimes you can be in the zone regarding your
success and nothing gets in your way; other times you can do
everything right and find that whatever can go wrong, will.
Here are thoughts on building the habit of success and getting
“in the zone.”
- Achieve Success by Expecting It
You must understand that the path from where you are to where
you want to be is not always smooth or straight. When you hit
those inevitable bumps in the road, your character, commitment,
and attitude will help get you “in the zone” or at least, keep
you there.
- Success Breeds Success
“Mo.” That shortened word of “mo” speaks of momentumthe ability
to continually succeed and build on the past successes you’ve
had. Most people understand that when they have one (big or
small) success, it encourages them and makes them believe they
can do anything. Salespeople know it, and they strive for it.
When you’ve unlocked the key to your success (whatever that may
be), you’ll find your “mo” and that nothing can get in your way.
- Choosing Success
We all understand that we can choose to be happy or miserable,
and that our choices will affect our lives for the better or
worse. When you opt to be happy, you choose to identify with the
accomplishments in life that exude who you are and who you have
striven to be.
You can choose to look on the positive side, just as you can
choose success. Remember, success is more than just wealth.
Choose the positive side of things and you choose to remember
and live your successes, not your failures.
- Experts Don’t Know Everything
If you have a plan that seems to go against all the conventional
wisdom and yet you know in your soul that this WILL work, then
follow your gut instincts. The “experts” are wrong all the
timefrom medical experts who predict incorrectly to
future-trending experts who foretell the wrong trends and costs
corporations millions.
More than 100 years ago, someone wanted to close down the US
Patent office because he thought everything that could be
invented had been and that no one would need to patent anything
else, ever. So don’t listen to the nay sayers and
“experts”sometimes they are dead wrong!
