Can you change your life in seven days and become successful?.
Everybody wants success and to be successful in one way or another. Success means different things to different people. What makes some people successful and others not? I believe that the difference between successful and non successful people is attitude and awareness.
What is success?
Success can be measured in many ways. To most people success is usually about gaining the material things in life, things that money can buy. If someone who has made lots of money is he deemed successful if some areas of his life are neglected. Is his life fulfilled? Is he happy or content?
Success to me is about reaching a happy state in all aspects of your life. Having good health, enough wealth, emotional intelligence, friends, family and time freedom are the some of things I need and strive for to be successful, each category of my life must be fulfilled. You can prioritise but at the end of the day each box has to be checked, you have to feel joy equally in all aspects.
How to be successful?
There numerous books on how to become successful, I think the key to success is self development, a well known businessman / enterpuener Jim Rohn said “Traditional (University) education will get you a good wage but self education will earn you a fortune” he believes that you have to work on yourself to make yourself better. Success is not something to be chased, it is something you attract by being the person you want to be. Success is inside you, therefore it comes to you.
Paul MacKenna, was a successful broadcaster in the U.K, before becoming an author and a hypnotist, he is recognised the world over.

I don’t believe you can change your life in one week, the change that happens is that you are putting the process into motion to achieve the result, I guess you can argue that in itself constitutes a change, depending on the expectation of the result.
You can change your life one week at a time, you need to change the way you think, they way you process the information. Everything we see, read, touch and hear is all information, how we use and process that information determines how successful we will be. It ls all about changing your thought patterns, setting yourself goals, it’s about being the person you need to become to achieve success.
You need to take action. Thoughts become words and words become actions. Actions become habits and habits become character. Character becomes destiny.
