Success is a CHOICE, not a circumstance.

Success is a choice and if you just chose this attitude, the success you want would come easily. You experience lack of money, love, success (in whatever way you define it), and abundance when your focus is on what is wrong in your life and what you have failed to do. Your focus is on fixing yourself, others, or the situation and when you are giving your attention to “fixing”, you are also giving your attention to what you don’t want. You are watering the flower of failure, so to speak.
Now, what if (regardless of the circumstance that you currently find yourself in) you chose to focus on what it is that is going RIGHT with your life. You focus on the parts of your body that feel good, the people in your life that support you, and the progress and the successes that you have experienced.

How do you get there, you may ask? Do what I have my students and clients do. Start a journal. There are many things that you could record in that journal, but most important are your daily successes. Why? Because people who are not creating a life that they are in love with typically are focusing on those things that are going wrong!!! Your mind just needs a little training. It has been going on autopilot and now needs your attention to guide it in the direction in which you now want to go.
Before you go to bed, write your successes or “wins” in your journal. At first, you may find this challenging if this is new to you. But just like any other task, the more you practice, the easier it becomes.
Your success journal does NOT have to read:n· Saved the worldn· Earned $1 million todayn· Met my soulmate
Identifying day-to-day successes are just as important as the successes that you consider milestones in your life, for without the “smaller” successes, the big ones might never have been achievable.
So, your journal might read:nn· Went for a walk at lunchn· Drank 8 glasses of watern· Told my family how much I love themn· Sent my boss an email thanking her for her help with the big project
You want to identify at least 3 successes every day.
I have found that once people get going, the list may go on for pages at the end of your day. GREAT! The more successes you list, the more you are programming your mind that you are already a success.
No one else gets to determine whether or not what you write down constitutes a success. If you think that you are successful, then you are successful. What anyone else says or thinks does not matter. They are speaking from their own perspective, and since you are living your life (not theirs), you need to focus on what constitutes a success for YOU!!

Remember, success is a CHOICE! Start tracking your successes TODAY and start seeing more of what you WANT come into your life!
