Recently I wrote about the laws of success for the 21st century authored by world recognized success coach Brian Tracy and particularally the idea that a person can truly learn anything to become whatever it is they desire. I also talked about the importance of taking action and not fearing but embracing mistakes and looking for the benefits in any failure. It is obvious from just casual watching that these laws of success inevitably favor the person who has a vision, seeks out the information to reach that vision, then takes efficient present action.
This formula applies to everyone who is a true success in any area of life. It could be at home, in the work place, on the athletic field. Fortune and luck don’t really exist except for the folks who think in the way Brian talks about and who also do the action steps that Brian talks about. Still none of the laws will even be possible to apply if a person doesn’t have a vision for his ideal outcomes. Without vision a person may not necessarily perish, (as the saying goes), but he might as well have. The need for self-actualization, being the best we can be in an area we are passionate about is on par with food, water, shelter, and meaningful relationships in the hierarchy of needs as humans.
If my racer clients such as Joey Saldana of Sprint car fame, or NASCAR Champion driver Kasey Kahne don’t first start out their rise with a limitless vision for themselves, they will never be elite. They must first see the outcome and the mind can never limit their vision. When we work together employing specific exercises in my racers workout training and fitness program for car and motorcycle racers, they must have their mind focused on a larger vision.
That is really their motivation. I am just their as their coach to remind them of the smaller matters at hand. That is true of anybody. A person that just can’t fight their way out of bed every morning or can’t wait to bolt work and get home to relax, should look closely at that vision and acquiring a new vision. Then get busy employing the other 6 laws of success. First though, the mind must be without limits.
