Welcome to “THE NEW YOU”
In a world, where change is the only constant, we say, it’s not survival of fittest but its survival of the reinvented!
Life is too short to succumb to mediocrity. Don’t get stuck with circumstances that you don’t want to be in.
Over the next 6 modules we are going to help you figure out what is it that you truly want from life. It’s right there in your subconscious mind but you need to get it out, and make it a reality. This is what we aim to achieve here.
In the first session, we are going to analyze how you perceive success. This information will act like a pointer to tell you your position in life now in relation to where you want to be.
This interesting session can really open new doors for you.
So, grab a coffee, get a pen and get set for this first’s session and kick start your mutation process!
In this fast track hectic life have you ever slowed down and wondered what am I doing here?
You seem to be always on the move, busy coping with the various demands of different situations in life or trying to stay ahead of them. If anyone asked you why, you would most probably say ‘because I want to be a success in life’.
However what exactly success in life entails seems elusive.
You never know whether you would live again. Therefore, you might get only one chance to find out what your life is about. It would be so dismal if in our end moments, we still have a wish list open, and lots of regrets.
In this session we have some mind encroaching exercises to help you discover what your life is really about. Just a word of caution, do this with an open mind and things will fall right in place.
Let’s start with what you perceive success in life to be.
What is success?
To freely bloom - that is my definition of success.
Gerry Spence, How to Argue and Win Every Time
Different people perceive success differently at different points in their lives.
When you are younger you identify success with a high flying career and oodles of disposable income. On the flipside, as you grow older you are more susceptible to fall prey to the fallacy of success being the proportional to your social standing.
Here’s something to ponder on before you state your definition of success.
Take the following two examples:
Bill is a 30-year old married man who works in a store.
Every night he returns home from work at 5.15pm and is greeted by his loving wife at the door who gives him a kiss and a hug.
He plays games with his children and always tucks them in at bedtime and reads them a story.
They have a family holiday each year and are comfortable even though they sometimes go without to please the kids.
The family spends a lot of time together.
Jane is 28 years old and is single.
She works in the City and will be lucky to reach her apartment before 8 in the evening.
She rarely socialises due to her hectic workload and due to the fact that she is always too tired to go out.
She lives in an affluent area in Chelsea and drives a sports car. She could afford to go anywhere in the world on holiday but never does, in case she misses out on something happening at work.
Jane has few friends and sometimes is lonely “The money makes up for it though” she states.
The question now is: Which one of the above is the most successful to you?
Now that you have some food for thought, carry on writing down what success really means to you.
Write your definition of success in the space below or on a piece of paper.
Think hard and think clear. Make sure you are specific.
Do not carry on reading this until you have done so.
