The Source of Success

The Source of Success

Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest. - Ashleigh Brilliant

What does success mean for you and what is robbing you of that success? Success itself might be subjective but the route to success is objective. Regardless of your vocation in life, the determining factors of success are much the same: identifying the goal, developing a strategy, taking action, cultivating resilience, nurturing confidence and so on. But there is one crucial component which could undermine your will to succeed and that is energy: Your personal level of energy.

You will need energy to succeed and that vitality must be both generated and conserved for those moments when you will need it most. Without it, your chances of succeeding will be impaired. Identify your greatest source of energy. Where does it come from - exercise, meditation, sleep, diet? Likewise, what is the biggest drain on your energy - late nights, alcohol, the company you keep, an inability to say, “No”, an obsession with perfection?

Energy is the fuel of success and low energy equates to inferior output. If you agree that one of the most crucial elements of success is energy, then one of the single most inhibiting factors on that energy is probably self sabotage. Success is dependent upon action. Action requires energy. And energy comes from within but you must have the self awareness and discipline to conserve this most important source of success.

Maybe it would be a good idea to sleep on it tonight.
