Creating SUCCESS in 2016

happiness & freedomAs the year is coming to an end it’s the perfect time to review what you have done well, what was left undone, and define success for 2016. Success, just like happiness, means different things to different people. However, we all feel it the same way within us when we have achieved it. In order to attract success to your life you have to define what success means to you, put it in writing and begin to visualize it; this will increase your chances of getting closer to it. Often times, our hopes are high at the beginning of the New Year, and without even noticing, we begin to settle for more of the same. Do not let this happen to you in the coming year.

At the end of every year, I take the time to review the dreams and goals I had for that year, and often, I am surprised as to what I’ve accomplished and I am encouraged by the surprises that came my way. Whether I achieve all my goals or not is not as important, or as much fun, as the journey that I go through. For me, it is important to ask myself: “what do I really, really want?” and to take the time to hear the subtle answers that come from within. I realize that from year to year there are changes about what I perceive success to be, and I look forward to this process of clarifying and creating.

Some people create a vision board with pictures, quotes, and words that define what they want to bring in the coming year. They can see this vision board throughout the year and be reminded of what they said they wanted. How you do it is not as important as to just doing it. To have a clear picture in your mind of what you want is worth a thousand words. This creative process of defining what you want and creating a plan on how to achieve it is an important process of your life’s journey. Too many people die with unfulfilled dreams, because they were afraid, and they didn’t think they could do it –fulfill their dreams.

The first step of this creative process is to define what you really, really want and listen to your inner wisdom for guidance, and then write it down. The second step is to create a plan on how you are going to achieve your goal. During this process, you have to believe that the guidance comes from two places, your heart and your mind. The heart allows you to hear your true desires and the mind ‘processes’ the logistics related to the achievement. The third step is to define when you want to achieve this, being specific is always helpful. The key to success is to have what you created in front of you every day and spending some time visualizing what it would feel like in your heart if you had achieved it.

Success is easier than you think when you openly listen to your heart’s desires and follow its guidance. Your journey on this earth is about fulfilling your dreams and hopes. Take the time to define your goals and dreams, write it down, read it and visualize it every day; you will be surprised how life works with you and the opportunities that come your way. Remember that you deserve the best that life has to offer, but you have to define what that is.

Have a happy and successful New Year!
