Being Successful On Purpose.

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

As I am growing spiritually and personally, I am learning that to achieve success in anything; it must be done on purpose in my heart.  It takes discipline because just when you set out to make changes, here comes trouble, problems, distractions or sometimes the lack of energy to move forward.

As I continue to read and learn more about what it takes to have success or just to be committed, I am learning more about me.   Here are a few of the changes I have incorporated:

- taking extra time for myself (resting more, pampering, eating the right foods); exercise needs to be a part of that group but again, I know my weaknesses too.

- Surrounding myself with positive people.  Even, what I read has changed.  My bible has always been on the top of the list but I have incorporated reading things that encourages, teaches, and motivates.

- I have also incorporated quiet time.  My drive to work was one of my most hectic times when dropping off kids, talking on the cell phone or listening to the radio.  I now keep the radio off and put the cell phone on vibrate because the ride to my destination ushers me into new environments (work, church or business) so I need to have my mind and spirit at peace.

- More tangle things that I have incorporated are taking classes, attending events that are designed to craft my trade and networking with people of like minds. 

- I am also giving my faith a pretty good workout too.  When pursuing success some times you have to believe before you see.

As I continue this journey called life, I will continue to pursue more ways to have harmony and have a purpose-full life with success as the goal.    Everyone has a different purpose, from raising productive children, furthering your education, job advancement, starting a business, learning to swim, eating better, exercising or learning a new language, just to name a few.  My motto: Praying, Planning and Preparing, on Purpose, for SUCCESS.
