We may examine our life and ask how we can have more success. First we should ask, "What does success look like to me?" The Universe has endless abundant resources but we all have ideas about what we believe is achievable for us.
Our restricted ideas about what our life can be, impede our ability to see unlimited opportunity. Even if we can understand the concept of unbounded possibility, many individuals don't get clear enough about specifically what they desire.
"What is success?" Perhaps it would be better to ask questions like: "How should my work life look?" "How should my money life look?" ""What can I do with my gifts?" "Where would I live and explore?" "What will my love life and friendships look like?"
The most fundamental part of achieving success is defining with clarity and specificity what success looks like for you as an individual. A great example of this idea is to imagine that you have an opportunity to have the world's most talented team of architects, designers and builders create your dream home from the ground up. If all you tell this dream team is that you want a home that makes you happy, you have given away all control and participation in the creative process.
There is no way that the most talented architect will know how to draw up blue prints that will make you happy. The builders will not know whether you want a house made of brick, wood or stone. The designer won't know if you prefer modern, traditional or country design.
The same is true of the Universe. If you declare, "I want to be successful," the Universe has no guidelines or parameters within which to work. The universe needs to know how to supply you with the ideas, information and steps that will take you from where you are to where you want to be. Therefore, the first step to really having success in your life is a major burning desire for what it is you want to create and the specificity to define it.
