When I got into personal development initially, I decided early on that the ultimate idea is that I would become a person that can inspire, motivate, teach, and train people the way the people that I was reading about were teaching, training, inspiring, and motivating me. Not just from a place of knowledge, but more importantly from a place of real-world results. Unique, high-level results that just most people in life will never get. I wanted to be one of those people.
Coming from where I was, it seemed like the biggest, farthest away thing. But you know, one success at a time, one realization at a time. When you fast forward some years, and you’re there, you’re doing it. It’s amazing. But it’s important to remember that it’s all a cumulative thing. I identified my purpose, what I want to turn my life into, the things I want to stand for, the things I want to make more real for everybody else.
When I was working other jobs, the thing I constantly saw was that people are not happy with the success that they can create the job and the uncertainty with the job. That’s when I thought; I would love to find something that puts me above that. I would love to find something that allows me to not be at the effect of all those negative things. I would love to ultimately be able to create something that would set other people free as well, at least if they’re willing to do what it takes to be successful with that. That’s something I was able to do, but that was a big, outrageous picture of gold. That was long-term thinking.
You see, I started out with pain driving me into vigilance because no matter how hard I worked at the job, I couldn’t get the promotion, I couldn’t get the money I needed to make. That pain drove me into vigilance, but eventually, I switched to more of a “carrot drive.” I’m still waking up to this. I need to wake up to the fact that I need to be vigilant in my life to be successful, but it needs to be positive vigilance.
