12 Life Changing Steps Not Rules: Actions Needed for sub-atomic habits, for a happy and effective high powered successful millionaire brain

Growing up, I always asked myself: “what do I want to be when I grow up?” And my answer to that question constantly evolved. Priorities changed and with that goals and aspirations changed.But through it all, there was one common denominator that consistently stuck with me. And that was my need to be a success. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure in what specific field I needed to be a success in, but I knew that whatever the field I was going to be in, that I needed to be a success in that field.
Why was it important for me to be a success, I philosophically pondered that question to its whits end. Because I realized that success is presented in our society as one of the most important elements of progress. But no two people will likely agree on the idea of what success to them is. Again a wide variety of value systems come into play;
Whether it be honoring GOD, solidarity, courage, ideology, management of personal finances, career-related decisions, no matter the value, success is present in everything and becomes the primary catalyst for our forward momentum.
And in this regard both the society at large and the individuals that constitute that society, consider success as a key to life itself. And upon scrutiny, it is easy to ascertain that the search for triumph and success is the primary motivator for a specific action to be taken.
The consistent absence of success in one’s life can very well become a source of emotional problems, leading to frustration, anxiety, despair, etc., to name a few. And success for the sake of success is also the result of misplaced values. Integrity and success must go hand in hand.
Success is not to be considered just an individual matter. There needs to be a shift in the paradigm that teaches us that each of us needs to champion our own affairs in terms of success. A widely accepted depiction, which happens to be completely untrue. It is crucial to be mindful and revel in our successes because they scaffold us to new heights. Success is important to us humans. To consistently and constantly, be on the winning side of this pursuit, necessitate us to make some pivotal changes to our mindset and also our lifestyle.
“12 Life-Changing Steps, not rules” dives into aspects such as:
A moral compass
Incorporating the principle of evaluation
The application of effort and knowing things take time
Plan ahead
And test the waters.
Commit to preparation
Differentiating between time and money
Changing your perspective to think and act above your pay grade
What to do when the chips are down
The advantages of being older
The advantages of being younger
How the better treatment of your physical body makes you feel better and yields better results
To be outstanding even in the simplest of pursuits.
And everyone understands that along the way, you will fall a few times and to you, I say, in the words of Winston Churchill: “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
There is a popular prayer that summarizes this beautifully, you may have heard it, and it goes something like this.
“God, give me the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.”
