The secret of your future depends on the departure from your past!
Author: Sheraun Britton-Parris

Rich, Famous, Successful. We all want it. But how many of us will actually do what it takes to attain wealth, fame and success? Well, given that most people are stuck in neutral - still wishing and dreaming of the day that they are financially independent enough to actually leave their 9 to 5, I’d venture to say that many people will continue to limit themselves (unconsciously of course) to the mediocrity of just making a living instead of the joy of designing their lives the way they want them to be.

Now I am not saying that working a 9 to 5 is bad. What I am saying is that most people go through the motions of being at work day in and day out without any real affection or passion for what they do. Meanwhile, they spend their time complaining about their circumstances and wishing for a better lot in life –All while doing little (or nothing at all) to change it.

It is mind boggling, how many people want to change their circumstances with out actually doing the work necessary to change. Success only comes before “Work” in the dictionary - and no place else. So, realize that in order to get what you never had, you must do what you’ve never done. Put another way - The secret of your future depends on the departure from your past! You can’t keep doing the same things and expect a different result. It just doesn’t happen that way.

Surely you can’t expect to be a successful entrepreneur if you come home everyday and watch 4 hours of useless TV programming, while your business plan sits incomplete. That 10 pounds around your midsection that causes your to suffocate every time you attempt to button your pants won’t disappear if you keep making excuses for why you can’t participate in any type of physical activity outside of the hand to mouth action that put the weight their in the first place.

Personal growth takes effort! It is a deliberate process that we take on to live rich, full lives instead of settling for a life of mediocrity like the typical, average person. Now, if a life a mediocrity is okay with you, then great. But if that were really the case then you probably wouldn’t be reading this newsletter right now. So I am going to take a leap of faith here and assume that you want wealth, fame and success – at the very least wealth and success. For the rich, famous and successful, mediocrity is not an option. E.M. Gray explains it this way. "The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don't like to do. They don't like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose."

Stop making excuses and take action – NOW. Your future depends on it!


Keys for stepping into your future:
1.Focus on the reward of wealth, fame and success, not the pain of achieving it. Earl Nightingale reminds us that “You become what you think about”. Said another way, you get what you focus on.

2.Write down all the reasons why you must change and the consequences of not changing. When you write things down its almost like you are inscribing your thoughts on your brain. Your thoughts become documented and at that point you begin to act on those intentions, doing what’s necessary to achieve your goals.

3.Consistently visualize your self as you would like to be. Dr. Wayne Dyer explains that “Self-Actualizing people must become what they can be." Why? Because they get what they focus on.
