101 Reasons You Deserve Success

Wednesday Inspiration #18

You deserve success because:

  • #1. You are alive.
  • #2. – #101. See above.

If you are not finding the success you want in your career or life, it is not because you don’t deserve it. The very fact that space has been made for you and that breath has been granted to you entitles you to all the success you can desire and are willing to work for. Remember that the work of creating success starts with your mind. Do you believe you deserve to be successful? Or are you running a checklist in your head of all the things you must do to deserve success. Deserving success is different than having success. The “having” comes from taking the right actions. But here’s the catch -  you will never be fully motivated to take the right actions if you don’t think you deserve the success in the first place.

Journal: Be honest – list some reasons you “think” you don’t deserve success?

  • I don’t know enough
  • I don’t have enough experience
  • I don’t have a real talent
  • Why try – something always happens to keep me down
  • I always mess up
  • Everyone else is so much better
  • I should just be happy with what I got
  • [Add your own message here]

What other false messages are you playing over and over in your mind? Remember whatever you feed grows.*

Assignment: Instead of defining why you are not successful refocus that energy on choosing what success you will create today and what success you are preparing for tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.

Affirmation: I deserve success simply because I am here.
