The cycle for success or the cycle for failure – YOU decide. I experienced something interesting today and I felt that I would spread this information on my blog. This is a phenomenon that the general masses are usually stuck in but unfortunately do not know that they are in.
This phenomenon works in two ways. One; it can be the cycle for success or two; it can be the cycle for failure. It works in a never ending rotation and once someone gets stuck in it, they eventually end up in a spiral that goes on to infinity.
To better understand this concept, we will first look at the cycle for failure. From there, we will proceed to discussing the cycle for success and how anyone can get in that loop. Let’s take a look at this four step cycle.
(1) Your Life Results (A)
In life, we all know that humans are never satisfied and no matter what we do or where we are, we will experience failure and negative results. The problem is that most individuals tend to focus their on the pessimistic results that they experience. By concentrating on these, their thoughts are negatively affected and they start on the cycle of eventual failure.
(2) Your Thoughts And Desires (B)
When their thoughts revolve around the negative, they start to centre their thoughts on issues like ‘why they do not have that dream home’, or ‘why they are not getting that income that they desire’ and they eventually convince themselves that they are trying but they just can’t reach it or afford it. Thoughts like ‘everything’s not going the way I want them to’ or ‘there’s nothing I can do’ start to dominate…
(3) Your Belief (C)
Once these thoughts start to govern, it is evident that they will eventually affect the individual’s believes and feelings. They start to feel depressed, frustrated, discouraged, disappointed and simply lose all motivation to do anything.
(4) Performance (D)
When that individual reaches this stage, they will eventually be distraught and lethargic. With all the negative thoughts and feelings, their performance drops and they lose any productivity they used to have. Their efforts eventually produce more negative results and the cycle comes full circle, starting again from the top.
As you can imagine, when that individual gets stuck in this spiral, they get overwhelmed in a perpetual sequence that keeps producing bad results and making them feel terrible. If this cycle continues, it is a definite that eventual failure will surface.
Of course there is a simple way to get out of that cycle and into the cycle of success but the main problem is that many are not able to see it. There are so many successful individuals out here – how do they do it? You see, the cycle itself does not really change; in fact, the cycle for success actually flows exactly the same way. All you really need to do is to change your starting point. Let’s Bring step ‘(2) Your Thoughts and Desires’ above and make it your starting point and let’s see how that works to bring you success
(1) Your Thoughts And Desires (B)
This time, we start from your thoughts and desires. The first thing you need to do is to control your own thoughts and desires! Tell yourself that you can perform and start by getting those simple results that eventually become larger rewards. Look at every event optimistically and learn from your failures. Tell yourself that no objective is too hard and persevere to obtain it. This time, from the focus on these positive aspects, you start to become a better person yourself and you actually add value to those around you.
(2) Your Belief (C)
When you start getting these positive thoughts going for you, you will soon find yourself feeling happier. You sense a whole new feeling of confidence and pleasure and everything just feels right. This eventually increases your motivation and makes you much more productive.
(3) Performance (D)
With a more productive mentality, your performance levels will start to sky rocket and you begin to realise that everything you do seems to bring in positive results.
(4) Your Life Results (A)
Once you have attained that level of performance, you start to really begin seeing those results that you have desired all along. These results act as a spur factor for you. You begin to understand more and gain more knowledge and eventually you begin to start creating more amazing thoughts. And from there, you once again begin the cycle by starting from the top. BUT this time round, you are in the success spiral.
When an individual starts his/her cycle by first controlling and focusing their thoughts, they can miraculously create the cycle for success in their lives and once this cycle starts going, they will begin to get overwhelmed– this time, they will be overwhelmed by the infinite amount of triumph that they achieve.
So my friends, if you are feeling down or out, you need to perk yourself up. Focus on starting your thoughts on a positive note. Get yourself in the cycle for success and begin to see the results that it will deliver! And soon, you can start living the life that you desire!
