So, let's have a conversation about success.
If you're listening to this recording, that means you're either wanting to feel more successful,
or you're wanting to be more successful, however you define that word.
There's something that's compelling you to do more, to be more, and that's an awesome
thing.
So congratulations for seeking this out and queueing this up.
Pretty quick here, I'm going to give you some I am affirmations to allow you to feel and
be more successful, but let's just have a little chat about it first.
Here's my take on it … Success, in my opinion, is not something that
you go and get.
It’s not something that you achieve some sort of a materialistic thing, you reach a
goal and then, oh, now I'm successful.
Consider this alternate way to approach it …
First, be successful or feel successful.
Vibrate with the energy of success.
It's not something, again, that you go and get, it's something that you bring to everything
that you do.
So don't think of success or this feeling of being successful as something that's out
there, that you have to go to find and grab onto.
Think of it as something that first resides within you, it's something that's part of
your being, it's part of who you are, and you bring that quality to all of your endeavors,
all of the actions that you take.
Perhaps you're thinking to yourself, but I don't feel successful.
I haven't done successful things.
But think about it.
Is that really true?
I'm sure you've done many things in your life that could be considered successful.
Have you ever made someone's day?
Have you ever made someone laugh, or have you ever held the door for someone?
Paid someone a compliment?
Maybe, if you're a creative person, you've written a song or a poem or you've written
something that someone read and they let you know, “Hey this really made my day.
This made me laugh.
This inspired me.
This made me feel better.”
That's an indication of success.
Have you ever done something that made you proud?
It could have been a sporting event or some sort of a degree that you earned.
Maybe you gave birth or raised a child or a pet.
You see, we're so close to ourselves that we discount these things that we have been
successful at.
So celebrate those small and large victories along the way, and know that you have done
things that positively impacted other people, that made you feel good about your purpose
here during this lifetime.
So I contend that you already are successful.
So let's ingrain that powerful feeling right now and just say to yourself …
I am successful.
Say it to yourself either out loud or in your mind, I am successful.
I am a success right now.
Say that.
I am capable.
I am accomplished.
It also helps to know that you are worthy of success, that you deserve it, whether or
not you have reached whatever material goal you have set.
Even if you're still striving for a particular end result, you deserve to feel successful.
You deserve to be successful right now.
So let's reinforce that with some I am statements.
I am worthy of success.
Say that to yourself.
I am worthy of success.
I deserve success.
I deserve to feel successful.
Here's a good one, I am worthy of all the good in my life.
Say that a couple more times for each of these.
I am a worthy of success.
I deserve success.
I am worthy of all the good in my life.
I think it'll help to clarify something right now, because a lot of people when they make
these powerful I Am statements, they feel like it's selfish, that they're pumping themselves
up unnecessarily.
And I just want to clarify that, for me, affirming these statements does not mean that you're
gonna get cocky.
It doesn't mean that you think that you're better than anyone else.
It's simply feeding your mind and your subconscious mind, your body, your soul with positive energy,
with a positive high vibration frequency, and this actually allows you to serve others
in a bigger, a more powerful way.
So really affirming that you're successful.
Affirming that you're confident, affirming that your life is abundant, and that you are
prosperous, is actually probably the least selfish act that you can do, because by empowering
yourself you're putting yourself in a much better position to have the energy and the
mindset to take the confident action that will help others, that will create a ripple
effect throughout your community - maybe throughout the world - by your positive actions.
So if you're having any hesitation whatsoever about this being the right affirmation or
the right declaration to make, because you feel like you're putting yourself on a pedestal,
just release that silly notion now.
It's not about you being better than anyone else, as I mentioned.
It's about you putting yourself in a greater position to serve others, and if you're feeling
depleted, if you're struggling with self-worth issues or self-confidence, you're not gonna
be in the best position to help other people or to support your family or just to live
a fulfilling life.
So keep that in mind as you recite these affirmations.
I'm going to give you a few more.
I'll say them, just repeat them back to yourself.
I am a … I believe in myself.
I boldly pursue what I want in life.
I successfully meet every challenge.
Success is my nature.
Success is my birthright.
Success allows me to live life to the fullest.
Success allows me to make a positive impact on the world.
Feeling successful is simply who I am.
Success empowers me to take action.
And that's something I just want to reinforce here.
It’s great to pump yourself up mentally.
Certainly, it's very important to raise your vibration, raise your energy level and your
confidence.
But when that really pays off is when you couple this uplifting feeling with inspired
action.
Again, success is not something you go and get, it's something you bring to everything
you do.
There's that word: DO!
It means you have to go out in the world and interact in the 3d world.
So use this empowering feeling to take inspired action.
To not only express your gifts, your unique talents, but also to use them in a way that
serves other people and does good in the world.
Also, celebrate the small victories.
Don't discount any small act of kindness, or the simple things you do throughout your
day and throughout your week that positively impact others.
Become aware of that, recognize it, give yourself a little pat on the back and know that this
acknowledgement of the good that you do in the world fuels you, it raises you up and
gives you the strength and the energy to do even more good in the world.
All right.
So say it one more time with me.
I am successful.
I am successful right now.
Awesome job.
I hope you enjoyed this little conversational pep talk.
Take this energy with you throughout your day.
Let it inspire the actions you take, the good that you do in the world.
This is Bob Baker.
Thanks so much for listening.
Have an awesome day.
