Part 6 of 7 of The IMAGE Success System (Imagine, Manage, Act, Grow, “Enjoy!”)
The next step to your success is #6 - “Enjoy!” If you recall, step #2 was also “Enjoy!” because you needed to document what you wanted to ““Enjoy!”” as you accomplished tasks in the Manage, Act and Grow phases.
Now it's really time to Play Big!
We are going to add a third level of ““Enjoy!”” to your list.
In step #2 to your success, you wrote down two levels of “Enjoy!” - "almost free for me" for small task accomplishments and "spa-like for me" for larger milestones.
The final and third “Enjoy!” level is "Success Is For Me."
Take this time to reflect on what you have accomplished. Revisit why it was your “Imagine” in the first place. What made you happy about how you “Managed” and how quickly you took action? How did you grow - What were your successes and what did you learn from your mistakes? Did you actually take the time to enjoy those accomplishments?
Looking back - what are your thoughts, emotions, feelings, beliefs of making your “Imagine” come true? Do you believe that "Success Is For Me?"
The third level of “Enjoy!” is a much higher level than the other two Enjoys. Don't get me wrong. Those levels are very important where they are. They establish boundaries and give you incentive to make things happen. Plus, everyone deserves to have fun once in a while!
The third level of “Enjoy!” is a mindset - a belief. The belief that success IS for you.
This “Enjoy!” is the understanding that you can.
It is also an opportunity to "leap:" To know that you can do it; To have certainty with your abilities; To give yourself permission for success.
This level of “Enjoy!” is reflected in how you carry yourself. It is a reflection on how you appear to others. It is a reflection on how you influence others. It is a reflection on how you motivate others.
The third level of “Enjoy!” is to understand that:
- learning and growing is success in itself.
- making a mistake is human.
- you don't have to know everything.
- you can - and should - ask for help.
- the fear of success isn't real.
- before you can really give to others, you have to first take care of yourself.
The only way you can really get to the third level of “Enjoy!” is to believe that Success Is For You. You have to have confidence and desire to play big before you can get to this level of “Enjoy!”
You can do it! And, again, if the desire is there but you don't feel comfortable, ask for help!
