The Secret of 100% Success

Good Morning!

I bet that this week you were 100% successful in your endeavors!

I am not being sarcastic...

In fact...where you are in life...at this moment...is exactly 100% of what you are capable of...or what you chose!

That is success!

Right?

I feel some disagreement...

OK...let's talk about this thought...this will lead to an understanding of what is necessary (the REAL SECRET to 100% Success)!

On a scale of 1 to 100...Rate how successful you feel you are...in your current aspirations...

Then...If that number is anything less than 100...

Explain with the question "Why?"

These are two VERY telling questions...

...But not at the superficial level...

Success Rating

Let's look at the rating of your performance to your expectations...first...

Any person who is being entirely honest (unless of course a rare minority) will rate their success less than 100...

...because their goals (expectations) are higher than their performance...

We have been taught to set high goals and aspirations...nothing wrong with that!

However...

The fact of the matter is...you are where you are at...and can be no other place...

You did what you did...thinking that you were capable of achieving a higher level...

But you were not!

Your current state is a combination of your decisions and your performance...

What you have done...and...

What you have left undone...

Expecting to be any place else is being unrealistic...actually out right crazy!

Why?

Either your expectations were too high...related to what you willing to do to get them (in which case...you deceived yourself of having a higher return value for your investment of time and knowledge)

or...

You were incapable of living up to the expectations you set for yourself...

In either case...you fell short...

The bottom-line is...you are where you are...

Realistically speaking...your goals and expectations were not realistic...

or...

Your performance was inadequate...

Why can I say that?

Because you didn't do what you could have done to achieve them...

You are where you are because that is all you were (are) capable of accomplishing!

In this case...you need to adjust your goals and expectations down to where you are at...because that is all you are capable of achieving!

or...you decided that you really didn't want to do what was needed...to get what you wanted...

That means that you didn't cross your finish line!

You lost!

If you are a "loser"  guess what...you are 100% successful at losing!

It is that plain and simple...

This leads us to the next question...

Why?

Why...are you...where you are at?

I can imagine a hoard of people saying "...but..."

Simply answer the question...

If any of those reasons (excuses) contain the name of any person or entity beyond yourself...your are deceiving yourself...

Failure to achieve a goal is no other's person's responsibility but your own...

In a few rare cases...someone else...may be to blame...but these people should be in jail for murdering you...or attempting to do so...( because they infringed on your constitutional rights!)

So...if you are breathing...and have all of your faculties...do not blame someone else!

Your current state is due to...

Bad decisions...

Lack of knowledge...

Bad Timing...

Missing critical elements...

Lack of real capability...

and so on...

You over-estimated what you could do!

The list is huge...

However the only responsible and accountable person is you!

You have chosen to be where you are at...

You have chosen your level of success...

Where you are is at 100% of what you chose...

This is the proverbial "slap in the face" by reality!

I actually love it!

There is nothing like an understanding of reality to take us to higher levels!

It entertains me to see people deceiving themselves with thoughts of grandeur...trying to motivate themselves to higher levels by convincing themselves that there is more that they can have by doing what they are doing...

People who think  that all they have to invest is "visualization" or "passion"...

The sad part of this situation is that a rare few people do get more...but they are (in truth) stealing.

If they were honest with themselves...they are knowingly receiving more compensation (return) than they deserve...

Isn't it against the law to knowingly receive stolen property?

It is those few that are held up as examples...to deceive others into following "The Secret" principals of life...

When in fact...it is people being deceived into unethical and immoral expectations!

So how do we rectify this situation?

Which is really...How can I be more successful...within the rules?

That is my closing thought that leads to the Secret of 100% Success...

Finally...The Secret to 100% Success!

You can be 100% successful!

It isn't come to you by lowering your standards...

Despite the fact that you are always 100% successful...given what you have done...

It is a realization that you got what you got for what you put into it...

Our logic tells us that expecting to be in any other state than what you are in is self-deception...

So...the first part of the success Secret is...

Get real!

The second part of the Success Secret is...

Get Responsible!

Take the responsibility for where you are at...

Perhaps you really are incompetent!

Perhaps you made yourself believe that you can do more than what you can really do!

Perhaps you are not a leader!

Face reality head on...

Do not expect that you'll be anything else than what you are!

Isn't that like...Doing the things the same way and expecting different results?

That's insanity!

What 100% Success requires a "make-over"...

If you are not happy with where you are at...

If you can not achieve your expectations with what you are doing...

You need to change!

AND...

Quickly...

AND...

Thoroughly!



Disappeared...

They took a hiatus...

And when they returned...they were different...

They changed...and that made all of the difference in their success...

40 days in the desert...

Exiles...

Vacations...

Journeys...

Retreats...

Whatever you wish to call it...

They left knowing that who they were at the departure was not who they needed to be...

...for them to be what they wanted to be...

While they were absent...

They changed...

And when they returned...

They were different!

AND...

They were successful...

The Secret of 100% Success?

Pure and simple...

You can...

...lower your expectations to what you are now and call it done...

...or...

Reinvent yourself into what you need to be to easily achieve those expectation your have set for yourself!

If you are not what you want to be now...stop deceiving yourself...

You are not going to be anything other than that...unless you change!

The Secret of 100% Success...

One word...

Change!

If you do not...you will continue to be entertainment for everyone who has read this and now understands what it takes...there is nothing more amusing than watching an idiot run is circles thinking that they are making progress!

The nice thing about even that...is that you'll be 100% successful at entertainment!  Which is your choice and there is no one else to blame!

ENOUGH SAID!

Have a great weekend...

Ask yourself those two questions...

Answer them honestly...

Pura Vida!
