It may surprise you to learn that success is a process of making the right choices. It rarely (if ever) happens in one fell swoop. Rather, you go from making mostly poor or destructive choices to making better choices more often.
Take a look at the three stages below, and note the progression of a success-mindset:
Poor Choices
Procrastination
Self-doubt
Defeatism
Resignation
Better Choices
Self-belief
Trust
Hope
Taking small actions
Still Better Choices
Building confidence
Believing in abilities
Taking bigger actions
Identifying true passions
Willingness to risk more
Results
Lack
Stagnation
Frustration
Victim mind-set
Results
Growing confidence
Optimism
Exhilaration
Eagerness for more
Results
Greater progress
Accomplishment
Deepening belief in oneself
Freedom
Growing SUCCESS!
Again, this is a PROCESS. It is virtually impossible to start with a mind-set of lack and powerlessness and leap immediately to a mind-set of success and accomplishment.
