Everyday beliefs, emotions and consistent thoughts work to shape and create your successes and disappointments. Here’s a success fact: How you talk to and treat yourself emotionally will determine your level of success and happiness. Your emotional success skills are powerful success tools.

You can go to all the trainings, take all the classes and read the latest books and yet, you’re still not where you want to be personally, professionally and financially. Something seems to be holding you back and you can’t figure out what it is. My question to you: Are you ready to give yourself permission to succeed and be happy?

Here’s what I’ve learned along my own success journey: If you haven’t truly given yourself permission to succeed and enjoy success, you’ll be placing roadblocks along the path to lifelong success and happiness. What’s going on inside (emotionally) is extremely POWERFUL! In my opinion, how you talk to and treat yourself may be even more important than practical “how-to” skills.

Let me ask you a couple of questions and think about the answers. These questions will give you an idea of what is going on “inside.” You may not want to answer the questions immediately – you may want to allow them to roll around in your mind a few days.

1. What does success mean to you?
How will you know when you’ve achieved success? What does success look, sound and feel like to you emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually?

2. What will it take to make you truly happy?
How will you know when you’ve achieved complete happiness? I’m talking the kind of happiness that first thing in the morning when your feet hit the floor you say, “I love my life!” What does this type of happiness look and feel like – emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually?

In my own life, I realized that unless and until I had a clear picture of what success really meant and what happiness felt like to me personally, I was constantly searching for a magic bullet that would give me success and happiness.

Success Tip: There is no magic bullet for success and happiness – you create your own magic!

What are you doing in your life daily that supports and encourages success? Do you affirm and visualize success? Do you set goals that will stretch you to think BIG? Do you have a plan of action for creating success and happiness and work your plan consistently? Do you have an attitude of success? Do you believe you are worthy and deserving of success, happiness and unlimited prosperity?

Have you given yourself permission to succeed?
