Pearls of Wisdom

Position yourself for success:

1) Denial in any form will cause you to procrastinate and resist growth. Be willing to admit and work on the deficiencies in your character, habits, skills and lifestyle.

2) Commit to a lifestyle surgery. Cut out the habits, relationships or attitudes that are success saboteurs and unhealthy.

3) Define what prosperity means to you. Understand life has seasons. What was important to you last year may not be a priority in the new year. Write your own personal mission statement for success. This will be your compass when you get lost, distracted or discouraged.

4) Isolation can breed an environment of depression and incompletion of goals. Be accountable to a friend, family member, mentor, success coach or support circle to help you achieve your goals for life enrichment.

5) Strengthening your faith, self-esteem and self-determination will help you endure the tough times, enjoy your life and excel in your goals. In my life enrichment sessions I use the 4 tires of a car as a successful living metaphor. Health, Spirituality, Finances/Career and Family/Friends/Leisure are the four areas that need our constant attention to keep us balanced on the road of life. Pray, plan, prepare, pursue passionately, persist and believe that you are worthy and capable of achieving your definition of prosperous living.
