Highly successful people are eager and energetic. They are filled with purpose, passion and commitment, and they have found a way of making a living doing what they love.

If you love your work you will more than likely be very successful in this area of your life. If you don’t, however, spend the necessary time to identify the work that you would love to do. Find the area, find your love and then expand on that passion, and success usually follows.

“So if you had the choice to do anything that you want to do, something that you will thoroughly enjoy doing, what would you do?” I asked a client.

“Well, I’m not really sure,” came the thoughtful response.

Question yourself; look at your skills, talents and hobbies. How do you pass your time? What do you do to have fun? What particular tasks at your present job do you enjoy? And then go a few steps further; what specific activities give you a lot of pleasure, what really makes you happy in all areas of your life?

Spend all the time that you want to identify that passion.

Once you have found what ignites you from deep within, do whatever is required of you to expand on that passion. Does it require additional skills and knowledge? You may think it best to go to evening classes or join a local club to get to know others who share your passion.

When you identify that burning desire, that passion, strengthen it and keep it alive.

Do you have a hidden passion that is longing to be set free?

How would you like to inspire and motivate other people to lead better and more fulfilling lives? Especially your loved ones?

“I have benefited so much for our sessions that I want to encourage my family to have the same quality of life that I am now enjoying,” wept a client, hugging me as she was leaving my office.

“Well, become a leader!” I replied. “Gradually teach them the principles you learned.”

The best gift that you can bestow to anyone is the gift of empowerment and a deep sense of love. What could be more pleasurable to you than to guide your loved ones to feel free from their own limiting beliefs, and to direct them step-by-step to make a success of their lives in all areas?

That same afternoon I emailed this client a few encouraging words. An excerpt read like this:

“To lead by example is a great testimony to you as a leader, and I know that you are a fantastic leader. You learned and lived the principles of success, the way you perceive success to be, and your life has dramatically changed to the better.

“I know you can channel your knowledge and experience to empower and inspire your family, and others, to be happy, cheerful, joyful and successful in their lives. In time, you all will live your dreams and be surrounded with everlasting love and happiness.”

Do you feel that you could lead your family or people you know to live their lives more fully?

If you are not ready to lead, are you ready to take the first step to fulfilment by organising and scheduling regular self-development meetings for your family or group?

Champions and successful people in all fields and areas imagine or visualise their outcomes daily. They imagine the results in advance, before actually or physically participating in the event or situation.

They start off by imagining the situation perhaps months or years in advance up to the moment before the actual event.

Everything that you will do in the future will be imagined by you before you do it, in much the same way that everything that you have done in the past had been imagined.

Reach your goal, any goal, mentally first. See your success in the screen of your inner mind prior to experiencing it physically. This is one of the most powerful methods that is at the heart to creating the future that you deeply desire.

A simple way to do this is to write a script of how your future is to look like. Choose a particular goal and be a screenplay writer. For example, “It is 15th July, 2008 and I am sitting on my terrace by the pool in my 5 bedroom villa in Nice sipping on my cocktail…”

Memorise your script. Sit or lie down and close your eyes. Say the script in your mind and ‘see’ yourself living the goal. Imagine it with all your emotions.

Imagine happily performing the actions that will lead you to your goal. See yourself living that goal.

Keep doing this imagination process every day until you achieve the desired outcome.

Would you like to sit back and daydream, see your success and lay the pathway that will get you to live your dream in reality?

They Don’t Like Me… It’s so tough making those unpopular decisions… No one wants to talk to me… They all avoid me… I feel so lonely at the top.

These, and many more of the same, are words that resonate in the offices of those that are at the top end of their jobs.

I had a phone session with one client who felt that he was lonely at the top. That loneliness made his job, and in turn, his life, unsatisfying and unfulfilling.

He had reached the position he had dreamed of for so long. Yet, once there, he awoke to the unpleasant realisation of loneliness and seclusion.

After a few sessions, he came up with a method to alter the feeling of isolation by his employees. He had decided to make regular and casual walks around the workplace. He would purposefully stop and chat with his colleagues at random and he would make a concerted effort to remember all of the conversations.

“I remember the time I chatted with one particular employee who seemed very tired; it turned out that her elderly mother came to visit her from Leicester and had been staying with her for the past ten days or so. Her mother was the talkative type, so the poor girl had had very little sleep,” he laughed.

“The following week,” he continued, “I hunted her down and enquired after her mother. She was so chuffed that I remembered our earlier conversation, she told every body around the office.”

Every time that he did his rounds since that day, he was greeted more casually and openly. His employees felt more professionally positive and relaxed around him.

Not long after, the lonely man at the top became the good and pleasant man.

If you feel lonely at the top, what would you do today to feel less isolated?

If you smile to a stranger, more than likely that stranger would smile back at you. If you help someone with a presentation, that person will probably return the assistance when required.

It seems that whatever you give out comes right back to you. It rebounds straight back into your life.

If you show kindness, love, forgiveness and appreciation, wouldn’t you get that back? Wouldn’t it echo and reverberate in your life? Sure it would.

Have you ever heard the expression, What goes around comes around?

Take the lead and be a kinder and more helpful person; a caring manager and employee, a more loving spouse and a friend to your children.

Give more in all areas of your life and be ready to receive more in return.

Another way to look at it, do you want a more loving relationship? Be a more loving partner. Do you want more help at work, help others first.

What you give out you get back! Life is like a boomerang!

Why not ask yourself, Who can I help today?
