10 Skills for Getting the SUCCESS YOU WANT! (Part 4)

October 27, 2006

Today is the final part of 10 Skills For Getting the Success You Want! And I hope that the past few blog posts have been good and you have started applying the skills already.

We’ll continue with skill 8.

# 8 Shielding Your Dream

Just like where we left off from skill 7 yesterday, you have to make sure that you remain committed to your outcome. You are bound to face cynics, criticism or even backlashes but no matter what, you have to shield your dream. You need to keep your dream alive and not be influenced by negative comments or even people around you.

Remember your co-dreamers or people you get to dream with you? You need to continually support each other and back each other. As you may likely shield them from other people’s criticisms and comments, your dream team will be shielded by your dream.

Your dream will keep you afloat and push you on to greater heights.

#9 Switching Back

We all grow up in a world that is rather depressing. Why? Because there are always people to tell you, “it’s impossible”. There exists people who will tell you, “You’re crazy” when you think of something amazing. And thus, we become automatically programmed to think what others will think of our dream and our goals.

We need to change ourselves and switch back to even child-like naivety, from ”I can’t” to “I can” and “It’s impossible!” to “It’s possible!”. Look at young children, where they seem to think that given their small size, they can accomplish anything. That is the kind of attitude we need to have, even though we may be in our 20s, 30s or even 80s.

#10 Maintaining Your Balance

It’s important that you maintain a balance between your health and work hard towards your success. Your health is something that money can’t buy and that you need to make sure that you do not over-stress yourself or allow yourself to be prone to illnesses. Always keep yourself at the best of health..

Now that we have looked at all the 10 skills you need. It’s important for you not to just read and forget. Remember to apply them. Also remember to tell people what you DO want, instead of what you don’t want. And show them why. You also need to stay focus on what you want NOW and remain committed.

On top of all that remember to keep yourself healthy because it’s something that you won’t want to forgo for success. Here’s a quote that I’ll leave you with and that is

“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot be manifest, strength cannot be exerted, wealth becomes useless and reason is powerless” - Xerophilus, circa 300B.C.

Here’s to our success!

Cheers~!
