For some of us, it is the step of giants to move into a successful mindset. You may have a positive self concept and feel mentally healthy - but, successful? Not so much.
You may feel good about your garden and the wonderful vegetables you pull out every year, but write a gardening book or present a seminar? "Who me?"
You may pin hundreds of pictures and suggestions to your Pinterest board on home schooling children, but lead training sessions for a text book company? - "No way!"
Your children may listen in awe as read the stories you create about their dog Boots. "Write children's books, The Many Adventure of Boots? Who am I kidding?"
Part of your reluctance may be the measurement you use to determine "success." You may not sell ten-thousand Boots books, but the few that you sell may be cherished by the ones who own them. If you always validate success in terms of the size of your bank account, you will miss the fun of accomplishing that you have always prized.
Do what you love. Step into success by permitting yourself to use a different yard stick than the one the world uses. The prize is in the doing, not the achieving. Permit success!
