Achieving success is something that will lead you to meeting new friends.
Interesting new people that will join your life.
Because as you being to move up you will draw people interested in what it is you are doing.
As you express and let your light your shine, people are going to be drawn to the illumination
that you put out and so people will be drawn to you.
And yeah there can be a problem of people sort of being groupies or whatever, but if
you're on compass, if you are in line with your true north, you're going to know the
people who are really coming to you and coming towards you because they like engaging you.
And this is very satisfying to meet people who have done intriguing things.
Interesting things, who have done things you've never done and you just get to bask in the
warmth of having a broader array of people you know with new ideas that you can learn
from.
That is a very satisfying thing that can come from you achieving success.
Here's another truth.
You will lose friends.
There will be people who drop away, drop out of your life, but if you really think about
it.
Look back, in your life haven't there been people who have simply, you haven't maintained
close contact with?
There are people that are always coming and going in your life because you either change
a position, you move to a new location, you do something new, you take a new path of education,
you join a mastermind group.
These are things that are rewarding and on the way, there are people who stay in a direction
and alignment that you simply move farther and farther away.
So there are friends who will drop out of your life, but it's not because of success,
it's simply that you move on and you don't have to lose any friend that's truly your
friend if you truly want to stay connected.
Here's what else is true about achieving success, you will have setbacks.
Success is not something that happens in a straight line.
It's often that you get sidetracked and you have to get back on track.
It's common for you to take two steps back after you've just taken three steps forward.
The nature of achieving anything are there are flat spots.
We move forward and then there's a quiet period, or there's even a period where we retrograde
and we go back.
Don't worry about that.
It's all a part of the process.
Don't expect success to be linear.
The truth is, that's kind of a jumble and then there are explosions of creativity and
things that are happening.
But all the while you're building a framework that's going to support that new success.
Success is also more than an accumulation of material wealth and you want it to be.
Simply accumulating material wealth can be a little like somebody who's, you know how
there's somebody who dies and they had 400 dogs or something living at their house or
they accumulated 7 bizillion magazines?
That kind of hording, is done with material things too.
People keep hording the money way past when it has any value or when they can do anything
with it to spend it.
They're making so much money they couldn't spend it.
You need to have a success that's more than that.
You need to have personal relationships and depth and so on and the truth is, that success
can include that if you follow that as your definition and template for what you want
as success and material wealth does not have to cancel that out.
There are people who are extremely wealthy and they maintain warm, loving relationships
and they have good connections to people and they do philanthropy and they leave a mark
because of their kindness and what they've contributed to human kind.
That's possible.
Make your plan to be that.
On the path to success progress is irregular.
I already talked about setbacks but this is something you need to know that even when
you are making progress and you are not having a setback, progress is irregular.
It does not go out smoothly.
I mean, think of the development in the lifespan of the worm that becomes a cocoon that becomes
a butterfly.
There are these stops that happen and then something else explodes into being.
That transformational process sometimes goes with a kind of slow down and a stop.
Yield to that, accept it, understand it.
Don't get anxious and hasty to think that there's a problem.
And how you define success determines the nature and the outcome of the success you
actually experience.
If you keep the definition of success that has to do with an extraordinary life and wanting
friends and wanting to keep affiliations that are important to you.
Wanting to stay in close contact with family.
Wanting to have close intimate relationships with people you love.
If that is how you define success, then you engineer success according to your definition.
Because the success you're getting now, in one way or another, is how you've defaulted
to the point you'd accept that success.
You don't have to settle for less.
Settle for the success that's ultimate in your terms.
Go for it and realize it.
It's completely within your power.
Since you're a high achiever you may know about this.
High achievers often hit a wall.
They're going along, they're having one success after another and then suddenly, something
happens and they grind to a halt.
And it's confusing because they're not sure what it is they've done wrong if anything.
They just know that they're not moving anymore the way they're used to moving.
The way they have moved in the past.
If you've run into like what seems like a ceiling over you and you're kind of in a fog
and you're mystified by what's getting in your way, you can even kind of slide into
a swirl of doubts and wonder if you ever really achieved anything significant at all and whether
any of your amazing achievements you have done were anything but kind of fronting or
a little bit of a fraud.
That is really negative and pernicious and it doesn't have to be that way.
