4 Strategies To Empower Yourself To Seize Success

Published

Many of us desire to experience success.

Of course success means different things to different people. But for everyone, it’s something that improves their lives.

Stories about how people have achieved success in a variety of areas are commonplace.

They motivate us to search for that elusive key to living a successful, happy and financially independent life.

Maybe the success of others has inspired you to find a more rewarding lifestyle.

Or you might realize your life is blah and that you need to escape from boredom and inaction.

But how can you empower yourself to start on this success journey?

ACCA might be the answer for you.

Grasp these four things and become empowered.

One way to think about empowerment is to consider what disempowerment is. Therefore, I’ll use comparison to explain the four aspects of ACCA.

 

1. AWARENESS happens when you focus

Disempowering
Not focusing wholeheartedly on what you want to achieve.

Feeling blah, so you’re not aware of opportunities when they arise.

Empowering
Awareness happens when you focus on something you really want. It’s far off but it’s burning brightly.

Because you’re thinking about it a lot, your mind is very aware of it.

To get somewhere you’ve never been before, you have to make a start. Awareness is the place to start.

Listen to people you meet, read news articles and posts on the internet.

Use social media.

Awareness enables you to look around in anticipation.

“Awareness allows us to get outside of our minds and observe it in action.” – Dan Brule

Triggers for ideas pop up in the most unexpected places – on t-shirts, signs, logos, advertisements – wherever. Even bad days or life’s obstacles can be triggers that start your thinking.

Just a tip: Jot things down immediately. Too many good ideas are forgotten through lack of a simple jot.

So, to start the empowerment process, develop awareness.

 

2. CHANGE is positive – a stepping-stone to success

Disempowering
Telling yourself and believing that you are powerless, and incapable of achieving success.

Empowering
Empowerment might involve changing some of your attitudes and beliefs.

When you catch yourself thinking in terms of “can’t” or “impossible”, tell yourself you can and that it IS possible.

Believe that you are not powerless. You can accomplish anything you strive for. Feel the power within you ready to be unleashed.

In addition to changing beliefs, if you’re dissatisfied with your life, other changes will be unavoidable. Try to see the benefits that change will bring. Then you can embrace it without becoming too overwhelmed.

Remember that the most successful people make changes regularly.

Change is to be desired, not feared. View changing and growing as stepping-stones to success.

Adapting to change is step two towards empowerment.

Darren Hardy

3. Build up your own CONFIDENCE

Disempowerment
Believing you’ve never felt confident, so you never will in the future.

Empowerment
Recognize that everyone has fears and apprehensions.

It is possible, however, to empower yourself to appear confident by doing a few easy things that, if practiced, become part of you.

  • Sit, stand and walk tall with shoulders back.
  • Speak slowly and clearly.
  • Speak with authority.
  • Say a mantra, such as “I speak with confidence and look confident, therefore I AM confident.”

The more you practice, the more confident you’ll become.

Being confident is at the center of empowering yourself.

 

4. Turn awareness, change and confidence into ACTION

Now that you’ve done lots of discovering, learning and thinking, it’s time to act.

There’s plenty of information freely available about goal setting and planning.

I won’t reinvent the wheel, but would add that recording ONE goal that you’ll work towards, say, six months from now, is essential for success.

To reach that goal, make a list of related jobs for each day of the first week. Repeat this process at the beginning of week two, and so on.

That’s your step-by-step guide.

Follow your guide conscientiously.

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” – Confucius

If a little is accomplished each day, week after week, you’ll soon see significant progress on the way to your destination.

Take time out monthly to celebrate the successes you’ve had.

NOW is the time to start taking action.

Empowerment comes from within.

It’s very empowering to choose for yourself what you want in life, and how you’ll work towards it. You discover that empowerment comes from within.

You are in control.

When you believe that you are the only one who can hold you back, wow! That’s empowerment!

The most wonderful thing about empowerment is the end result – you’ll become an extraordinary person because of the growth that has happened along the way, and the hard work you have put into creating a life you are excited about.

What’s next?

Well, that’s up to you.

Remember, your choices will either empower you, or disempower you.

Choose wisely.

Persevere.

The road will be steep. There’ll be obstacles to overcome. Keep your goals before you and imagine the life you want to lead, to keep you always on track.

What are you waiting for?

Have a clear focus. Read, listen, learn. Embrace change. Believe in yourself. Be confident. Take one step every day towards success.

Think BIG and you’ll behave BIG and achieve BIG.

To start the empowering process, I’ve prepared an Infographic based on ACCA for you to download and refer to frequently.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

Published

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
