Secret Success
Strategy
Sharif Khan
“Twenty years from
now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than
by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the
safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover."
-Mark Twain
FOCUS + FEELING + ACTION = ATTRACTION
While I don’t believe in pat formulas for success, I’d like to share
some ingredients for attracting more of what we want in life. It goes
like this: whatever we FOCUS on, FEEL, and ACT on, we ATTRACT. Call it
‘a recipe for success’ if you will. (Not "THE" recipe, but "A" recipe).
If any of these ingredients are missing, there’s less chance of
manifesting what you want.
If you have the mental focus (i.e. you write down your goals/objectives,
put them in a visible place, say your daily mantras/affirmations) but
lack the feeling of what it would actually be like to accomplish your
goal, you can say your affirmations till your blue in the face and
nothing would happen.
Likewise if you have powerful feelings and are doing lots of activity
but are lacking focus and direction, you will burn out fast without
accomplishing much. In fact, if you’re focus is misplaced, you could end
up courting disaster. Take a look at professional race car driving. Some
of the deadliest accidents occur right when drivers are rounding the
curve. Some of the inexperienced drivers, as they are rounding the
curve, will stay visually focused on the curve they are trying to clear.
And guess what happens? You got it…they end up smashing right into the
curve! More experienced professionals will immediately shift their focus
in the opposite direction of the curve and thus get past it. Are you
focusing on your problems or solutions?
If you have the focus and feeling down pat (your doing your mantras,
writing your goals, developed your plan, are experiencing passionate
feelings of reaching your desired objective) but are not taking daily
and consistent action towards your goal, again you will always be coming
just short of your desired outcome.
There are some extras that I’d like to add. If after you’ve done
everything humanly possible, you place your FAITH and trust in the
natural process that creates all things, and stop worrying and fretting,
you will attract more of what you want in abundance. Think about it,
would you plant a flower seed in the soil, and after a week of waiting,
watering, and giving it lots of love and sunshine, dig it up and yell,
"WHY AREN’T YOU GROWING! YOU’RE USELESS!"? Well, isn’t that what we do
with our own dreams sometimes?
Finally, if you add the HERO ingredient of SERVING others, of reaching
your dreams by also helping others and creating value for other people,
you will live a much more fulfilling life. We can certainly attract the
stuff we want in life, but without giving back to the community or
helping others along the way, we can often be left with a shallow, empty
feeling inside.
