11 + 11 + 11 Ways to Be a Success
It’s 11.11.11. So we thought we’d share 11 + 11 + 11 = 33 ways to be a BIGG success.
11 terms
BIGG success is life on your own terms. Here are 11 terms that help you take control to build the life that fits you perfectly.
1) Believe:
Belief is hope internalized. Believe you will reach BIGG success. Then let your mind go to work to help you get there.
2) Design: Your purpose is the place where your passions, proficiencies, and preferences all intersect with opportunity. Find your reason for being.
3) Live: Always remember that your career is part of your life, not the other way around. Your career is what you do, not who you are. Work to live!
4) Love: Relationships are critical to a fulfilling life. Love is a verb. So actively show the people around you how much you care about them.
5) Innovate: Innovation is imagination in action. Don’t accept the status quo. Discover ways to make your corner of the world a better place.
6) Act: You won’t fulfill your purpose just by thinking. Action turns intangible thoughts into tangible results.
7) Learn: Action creates advantage. But only if you learn from the situation at hand. The future belongs to the learning, not the learned.
8) Adapt: The whole point of learning is to know when to adapt. In uncertain times, flexibility is critical to your BIGG success.
9) Endure: Most people fail because they give up too soon. Remember that the journey is part of the reward. Press on!
10) Experience: Try new things. Go to new places. Experiences make you more interesting to others and ramp up your creativity.
11) Give: Giving implies abundance. So tell your brain you have more than enough by sharing some of what you have.
