If You Don't Like Your Outcomes, Change

I Used To Define Success As Being Able To Produce Any Result You Wanted, Whether It Was A Relationship, Weight-loss, Being A Millionaire, Impacting The Culture, Changing Society, Whatever It Might Be, It Might Be Homelessness, Whatever, But Lately I've Realized That Success Is "fulfilling Your Soul's Purpose."

By Taking The Time To Stop And Appreciate Who You Are And What You've Achieved - And Perhaps Learned Through A Few Mistakes, Stumbles And Losses - You Actually Can Enhance Everything About You. Self-acknowledgment And Appreciation Are What Give You The Insights And Awareness To Move Forward Toward Higher Goals And Accomplishments.

Success Depends On Getting Good At Saying No Without Feeling Guilty. You Cannot Get Ahead With Your Own Goals If You Are Always Saying Yes To Someone Else's Projects. You Can Only Get Ahead With Your Desired Lifestyle If You Are Focused On The Things That Will Produce That Lifestyle.

If You Can Tune Into Your Purpose And Really Align With It, Setting Goals So That Your Vision Is An Expression Of That Purpose, Then Life Flows Much More Easily.

If Something Doesn't Turn Out As Planned, You Will Ask Yourself, 'how Did I Create That? What Was I Thinking? What Were My Beliefs? What Did I Say Or Not Say? What Did I Do Or Not Do To Create That Result? How Did I Get The Other Person To Act That Way? What Do I Need To Do Differently Next Time To Get The Result I Want?'
