Your human potential is something that is worth fighting for every day.
While visiting the Colosseum in Rome, I was reminded of the gladiators who fought for their lives. You might be wondering how that fits here?
While the gladiators fought for their lives and the opportunity to live just a little big longer, you are not in that kind of situation; yet, are you fighting for your potential or accepting to follow the masses and stand in mediocrity?
If you are an individual suffering from success anorexia - here are three steps you can take to start reversing this limiting condition.
#1. Identify someone who can love and support you unconditionally.
While this may sound touchy feely to some of you, reality is we all need the unconditional support, and encouragement of someone like a coach, a teacher, or a mentor to become all that we can be.
#2. Become willing to succeed.
Few people realize that what we want is also what we fear. No matter how many "How to books of success..." you read, or seminars you attend, if you're subconsciously afraid of success, you will not be letting yourself succeed. You will find ways to self sabotage.
How do you overcome your fear of success?
"Eighty percent of success is showing up." Woody Allen
You know how some people, when they have a difficult decision to make, write down the pros and cons for the decision and proceed from there; well do the same here - sit down with your vision of success, and write down the pros and cons.
You might be wondering what are the drawbacks of success.
Perhaps you are subconsciously worried that you may have to face your fear of the unfamiliar.
Perhaps you will have to deal with the folks you currently hang around with, being jealous of you or no longer wanting to be with you.
What if people expect you to do and be more than you think you can?
Get the drawbacks and benefits to success down on paper. You can finally face, and start overcoming your subconscious/conscious fears.
#3. Establish Personal Time.
Set a time and place where the focus is You. This is vital. Too many people are overwhelmed by their To do list.
Setting time aside just for you, is the only way you can learn that the world won't end if you take time for yourself. This can one of the hardest steps for people to take, because of the guilt you may feel when you do something for You.
We are victims of circumstances which we created. I learned that by stopping myself from success- not only was I not helping others but that I was actually hurting those I love.
So today give yourself permission to succeed and develop your potential.
