Do You Have the Freedom it Takes to Succeed?

We are all free to create the Success we Dream of, Right? That is why we are entrepreneurs and spending so much time building our businesses. But my question to you is, are you REALLY Free to Succeed? Are you open to all of the things that Success is bringing or will bring your way? Or do you feel like there is a disconnect? Something blocking you from getting to where you want to be?

I, like most others, struggled with this disconnect for a long time. It took me awhile to realize that one of the hugest differences between Successful and Unsuccessful people is the Open-ness and Freedom to accept the success that comes your way. For most, there is this fear that lies inside our subconscious mind. A fear of how Success will change our life, will we be happy with the changes? A fear that once we have the Success we desire, we will loose it because we won’t be able to sustain it? On the surface we all say,”Heck Yeah! Bring on the Success!” But is that what you are really saying inside?

The reason that our subconscious fear exists, is because of a belief system that has been ingrained in us from the time we were children. We live in a society that views true success as reserved for an elite few that were ether born into luck or struck by luck. Other than the few Cinderella Stories we hear, a dream is just a fairytale that is unattainable by the average ‘Joe’ or ‘Jane’. We are taught not to get our hopes up and be happy with the status quo(sometimes we are made to feel guilty if we want something more than that). Anyone who does step up to work hard and create their dreams, is faced with opposition and Negative Nancys looking to crush their dreams before they even get off the ground. All of this negativity causes us to feel inadequate, that we don’t have what it takes. We are unhappy with ourselves and we start to fear loosing the success before it even comes.

What every successful person has that sets them apart is their Love of Self. Not in a stuck up egotistical way, but in a self-fulfillment way. Take my daughters for example, if you ask them if they love themselves they will say,”Of Course!” That is the beauty of a child! They are happy to be themselves, doing exactly what they are doing. They know they are infinite and are capable of anything. That is what the ‘Successful Elite’ have. A true belief in themselves. Something we are all capable of as long as we make that choice.

We can choose to live in lack and fear that we will either loose everything or never achieve it.  Or, we can live in abundance by believing in ourselves and knowing that our limitations are set only by our mind. We have the power to create our Freedom For Success. Our greatest ally is our self, we just have to make sure we are on our side at all times. We must change our mindset and weed out the negative talk we are constantly being fed.

It has been quite a journey for me to be able to do this, and I continue that journey each day. The way to change your mindset is through personal development. If you are beginning your personal development journey, a great place to start is by reading the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill and anything by Tony Robbins or Zig Ziglar(if you search any of these gentlemen’s names on YouTube you’ll also find some Awesome Videos). The personal development journey is not an easy one, you have to be open and honest about looking at what is deep within you. You might not like all that you see at first, but the purpose is to learn to love yourself a little more each day. If you are on the personal development path already, Keep on Going!

When we change our mindset to a higher more loving one, it is amazing the people and opportunities that you will attract to yourself.  Learn to love yourself, and the rest falls into place.
