Day 176 (A Hundred & Seventy-Six) of 365 days
Are you busy looking for success everywhere except the one place you can truly find it? Does life seem like a futile chasing after the rainbow?
One possible reason for this could be that you are not looking for success in the right place. It is not in the environment around us or the circumstances we face that we find success but in ourselves.
Knowledge is a powerful asset. It makes the difference between living in abundance and living in lack. The only difference between the managing director in a company and the maid in the same company is their knowledge. The MD knows something the maid doesn’t. That is why he earns a hundred times more than she does.
It is what you know that will bring you success. It’s what you don’t know that will cause you to fail. Why then, do some get it so wrong? For example, many people look for promotions without acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge they need to be promoted. Many business people are struggling because they just won’t take the time to learn about accounting, marketing, and all that goes with doing business. That’s like trying to drive a car without first putting in the fuel. “Here is a rule that will guarantee your success – and possibly make you rich: Invest 3 percent of your income back into yourself.” That’s great advice from Brian Tracy. Investing in yourself can double or triple your income. It will work for you whether you are employed or in business.
Where ever you work, work for yourself too: When we get into professional life, we take up an organization, start working with them and start building it up. In the process, we often fall back into a monotonous luxurious lifestyle and stop moving forward. This is where most people come to lack. Wherever your work, make sure that you benefit the organization that you are working for but also make sure that you keep working for your own life too. The ultimate goal is to keep moving forward in the direction of your dreams and the goal that you wish to achieve.
Humans are capable of achieving and doing a lot more than what they think they are capable of achieving and doing. Investing in you simply means realizing your potential and working towards using your entire potential and capabilities. Invest in yourself. You are your best bet.
