You deserve to be successful

One of he reason that is stopping people from becoming successful is because they are afraid to be successful.
You might be thinking in your head right now: "How is it possible that people are afraid to be successful? What is it that they are afraid of?"

 

You will be surprised, but in many occasions during my seminars, a few of participants have shared the same concern. They worried that if they become rich, or famous, or too successful, than people might think that they will be boastful and arrogant, and that's why they prefer just to be mediocre rather than outstanding. In my personal opinion, actually money, fame and success are neither good or bad, they are neutral. It's the person who owns them who will decide whether to use it for good or not.

 

Another possible reason that stopping people from achieving their success is the "I don't deserve" mentality. Some people always have this questions asked on the back of their mind:  Who am I to be successful, happy, and beautiful ?"  Well, who are you Not you to be ?

 

I would like to share with you one of my favorite poem. Every time I read it, it never fail to give me positive energy and inspiration. 

 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,talented & fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

It is really a very powerful poem, and it has strengthen my belief that I am here for a reason, I am here for a greater purpose, and I was born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within me.

It is my greatest joy to know that my life experiences and my success journey has made an impact in the life of others.
 

As much as I've been inspired by many successful people out there, I do too want to be an inspiration for others.
As much as I've been blessed, I too, do my best to be a blessing for others.

 

Last time I used to have this "Personal Mentorship Experience" where I dedicated certain portion of my time every week to mentor young people, but due to my schedule, I wasn't able to do that anymore. But I'm doing my best to always be accessible and offer my help for those who need it. Most of the time they can connect with me thru my Facebook or my email which I will answer it personally. Sometimes If I do have a chance, I'll chat with them on facebook too :)

True success in life is not measured by how much you make, but how much of a difference you make in others.

 

So, don't be afraid to be successful, and don't think that you don't deserve it. Because believe me, EVERYONE of us deserve to live our best life!

Always choose to be successful. Always choose to be outstanding.
Then, use your blessings to bless those around you too.

    would it be possible to translate your website into spanish because i have difficulties of speaking to english and as there are not many pictures on your website i would like to read more of what you are writting

  6. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.

  7. There’s a book known as “Avoid Retirement And Stay Alive”. The thought would be the reality that retirement has no area in modern society. In case you can easily make work pleasant by balancing it against the other points you’d like to perform, then you have the ability to live like you’ve got every one of the time within the globe.

  11. You’ve got your S$1,000,000 at 26 and i lost my direction at 26.
    once i think i’m not gonna be somebody, but after reading your blog,
    i think it’s time for me to get up and to something… start from zero.

    I deserve to be successful…!!! just like what i dream about since i was kid

  12. My fear is my ability to achieve the success since I have no experience in business. But I am motivated to do that because other can do.

    Thanks for sharing , Merry.
    We are born to be successful if you set ourselves free from all these bondages such as fear, failure and etc.. that hold us back. How can we step forward, if one of our feet refused to let go from its initial position.
    Therefore, we must be very clear where we are heading. Let faith be our compass and just move towards the direction.
    Trust my humble opinion is of assistance to you.
