Summer Time and the Living is Easy

Well it is the Summer Time and being the eternal optimist, it always starts in May for me anyway, and is the living easier for you? It’s my experience that those who achieve their best and have success and happiness, do so because they do not allow their past to hold them back; nor do they spend their days dreaming about a better future. They take ownership of their present situation, accept where it is they are in life, and then take the time and invest the energy in setting out where it is they want their life to be. In doing so, they show the hallmark of being a self-leader within their own life. Only they now go further and live the life of a self-leader, taking the action necessary to see the future they want for their life actually become a reality.

They do not confuse living in the now with living in the future. Always remaining hopeful for the future but here, today, is where their life is taking place, regardless of the season. They don’t dwell on the past, as there is a need to remain hopeful for the future, only it is now where they live life to the best of their ability. They live in the here and now and, at the same time, make real and positive decisions that will bring them forward.

Yes luck favours the brave and, and if you want to live the life of a self-leader, you will need some element of luck, but you will also need to be brave and determined. To make the decisions that need to be made and then go take the necessary action to see them become a reality. Anyway the fact is, luck often only comes to those who do the legwork, the ones who are prepared to put the time, effort and energy into looking at where they want to be in their life and how best to make this a reality. They are the ones who have the determination to go on and take action to make sure they have a chance of achieving the life they want to live. They understand that they must take on the traits of the self-leader within their life and work if they are to succeed and be successful.

So, please regardless of the time of the year or how hard or easy life is for you now, go take the necessary action to see that you are living a life of true and real success

Is True Success to Know the Way and Go the Way?

Is True Success to Know the Way and Go the Way? It is for me, yet when it comes to you living a life of true success is that the case for you?

I’ve just finished giving a presentation here in Vilnius and those attending wanted to know what a life of true success meant to me. So I told them, true success for me is to know the way and then go the way.

Going on to explain to them as like I had written in The Six Traits of Self-leadership that many people often wait to be hit between the eyes – to have that moment of clarity about the life they need to live for it to be a happier and more successful one. Yet, it rarely works that way. The reality is that it usually takes years of trying and failing and trying again: lots of ups and downs and not quite getting it right, but feeling closer and closer, warmer and warmer, to the life you want to live.

That self-leadership is about going for it, facing the challenges with courage and determination, taking the disappointments with a sense of humour, hanging in there when the going gets tough and never giving up the thought that you will get there in the end, for you surely will.

Then finishing by saying that while I could tell them that this was what success was for me, it didn’t really matter a jot – for what was really the most important thing was for each one of them individually to define what life they need to be living for it to be one of real and true success for them.
So what would it actually mean to you to live a life of Self-leadership and have the life you need for it to be one of real and true success? What is the one thing you can now do to see this life become a reality – go on take that first step to bring your life forward?
