What are the most important determining factors in whether or not you reach your greatest dreams? Some say resources, pointing out that without things like money and time, it is impossible to make your dreams come true. That is the wrong way of thinking.
What are the most important determining factors in whether or not you reach your greatest dreams? Some say resources, pointing out that without things like money and time, it is impossible to make your dreams come true. Others argue that a fair measure of good fortune is essential, or that you have to be in the proverbial right place at the right time. Others might suggest that breeding, family money, a good education and social status represent a great head start. Stop. Most of those are critical factors, but there is one that is more important than all of the others combined. It is your self-image. I remember reading a quote that stated “if you want to know what a person wants, simply look at what he or she has.” At first glance, this may seem like a harsh assessment that doesn’t take into account numerous factors beyond the person’s control. But, upon closer examination, you can see the truth behind the statement and better yet, the promise.Take a look at your life today: the relationships, the circumstances, and the economic welfare. Ask yourself the following questions:• What have I asked of life?• Have I sought excellence?• Have I held back?• Have I allowed the fear of tomorrow to stunt my progress today?• Do I deserve better? (A sense of personal unworthiness is one of the most pervasive killers of human dreams.)The answers to all of these questions will be greatly influenced by the way you see yourself. Whether you have sought excellence or settled for less, held back or gone after your dreams, listened to fears or charged courageously into uncharted waters, every time you face such choices you tap into your beliefs about what kind of person you are before you ever make a decision.The most important step you can take in designing the life you want is to see yourself as the kind of person who has and deserves to have the life you want. If you desire riches, but constantly refer to yourself as being broke, then your self-image will never allow you to create great wealth for yourself. Seek out books, CDs, workshops and mentors who will help you bolster your self-image. It is a powerful, undeniable force that plays a massive role in your level of success.
