Most of the books I have read, videosUnlocking
Transcendence Review I have seen, CD's I have listened to and speeches I have heard from successful people came from people that felt that helping others first is what made them successful. This could be an approach that we could use to increase success worldwide. If we could set up a website to coordinate and find funding I think we could start sending people who want to live the life of success around the world to start speaking and helping those that need it.
So many of us who run our own business are only few steps away from success or failure, from making it work or from giving up, from 'having it all' or 'settling'. And what makes the difference between these two extremes can often be simple and straightforward, yet many of us seem intent on making it difficult for ourselves.Now I'm not saying that life and business is always easy, or that there are never complications. That's just flawed thinking. What I am saying is that struggle is not the same as hard work, and easy is not the same as simple that's more flawed thinking! I'm also saying I believe that part of life's journey is to actively find ways to move from struggle and complications into ease.
Because the reality is that effort and ease are not mutually exclusive. Effort and ease, and the equivalent words people often use, such as focus and flow, and hard work and passion, are not either/or choices, rather they're both requirements to living a full life! It's important to recognise this, as believing we must sacrifice one for the other leads to thinking we can't have it all. We can't have a successful business or career, a happy home life, a healthy body, AND great relationships.
When the opposite is true. We can have all of these, just not by going flat out at work so you leave yourself no time to recuperate or to spend time with the people you love. And also not by coasting and taking it easy all the time, so you get bored or you lose your sense of passion and purpose. But instead, by working full out at times when it's necessary to do so, and counterbalancing that with times when you rest full out.
