10 Vital Keys to Life Success

Success may seem elusive at times.

We may strive to achieve goals, read inspirational books and really work hard to make the quality shift we may desire in our lives. When that doesn't work we blame it on luck.

However, success has nothing to do with luck.

Success is a question of learning the key laws that govern the outcomes of your effort and taking action to move your Dream forward. My personal experience has been a rich journey that led me to identify what I consider as the Ten Vital Keys to Life Success. Nowadays, in my work as a Life Coach I base my facilitation on these keys which have proved to be the most effective way to cope with Life's challenges and achieve Life Success.

Here's a very brief overview of the 10 Keys that can take you to the next level in life:

1) Challenge your Self-limitations : The biggest culprit in destroying Dreams is our own self-sabotaging thoughts. We need to work on these before even considering further progress. There are a lot of ways to do this including by working on what I call your 'Golum' thoughts and creating empowering Beliefs. Golum is the personification of the protective thoughts that run in our heads at times and which limit our life by putting excessive fear in risking and in trying out new things. Our Golum might tell us things like: 'You've failed before, what's to stop you from failing again' or 'Don't go out of your comfort zone or you will get pain'. Challenging these thoughts and creating new empowering beliefs is a crucial step to trigger off your journey towards life success.

2) Charge your Body and Language: The way we move our body and the language we use have a powerful effect on our feelings and emotions. Working on particular body movements and specific words we use can create a shift in our emotional status and motivational levels. By energizing our body movements and using transformational words we can shift our mental states to more empowering ones.

3) Clarify your Principles and Values: We all need a compass to direct our journey. We also need to be aware of who we really are - what innate qualities dwell within us that are just waiting to be tapped and celebrated. Clarifying your Core Values through specific Values clarification exercises is a vital step towards empowering you to take clear decisions without too much hesitation. Clarifying your Values will help you to identify your personal gifts and what direction you will choose to honor in your life.

4) Connect to your Dream and Life Purpose: Clear Values will help you to delve deeper and identify your Life Purpose. Through exercises such as the LifeMaps program© you can discover the True Mission and meaning of your life as well as tap the BIG Dream you want to achieve.

5) Create it in your Mind: Once you discover your Dream and Life Purpose you need to start working on Manifesting it. The first creation is in the mind. By believing in your Dream and doing specific visualization exercises you will pave the way for success.

6) Commit Yourself Completely: Commitment is a crucial factor in ensuring success. You can't look over your shoulder once you have a passionate Dream to follow. There's no turning back when you have inspired yourself to achieve higher standards and identified what you will no longer accept in your life. There comes a time when you will need to 'burn the bridges' and march forward with a clear sense of commitment.

7) Convert your passion into Action: There is no such thing as effortless success. Don't believe anyone who tells you that you can just sit back and attract good luck and abundance simply by thinking yourself into it. In order to succeed you must take massive action - right away after you take the decision to live your Dream.

8) Continue persisting with consistency: Persistence and perseverance is what finally births success. It is the sheer will to continue on your chosen path, the focus of consistently hanging on to your Dream, watching the signs that Providence provides and immediately acting on them.

9) Consolidate and Expand: Once your Dream starts manifesting it's important to continue raising your standards, expanding your boundaries and taking time to recreate yourself. Consistently doing things that raise your standards will ensure that you develop yourself to your peak performance

10) Contribute to a Higher Cause: Achieving self mastery will prompt you to look beyond your self-fulfillment. Your new confidence and success will attract others to you and you will find yourself able to lead and communicate a shared Dream. Your ability to create a Legacy that will outlive you will be the apex of True Life Success.

Looking back over the years I just marvel at the amazing changes that these 10 Vital Keys have brought into my life. I am also marveled each time I experience the powerful and life changing effects that occur in the people I coach when they start applying these keys in their life.

So, are you ready to take the driver's seat and start living your Dream?
