“Purpose” in Amsall’s Success Mindset Tripod -PART I
Here are the 3 elements of the "Purpose" leg
in Amsall's Success Mindset Tripod ™ :
1. Clarity of Purpose or Know Yourself
2. High Value of Purpose or Love Yourself
3. Unity of Purpose or Agree with Yourself
1. CLARITY OF PURPOSE = KNOW YOURSELF
For thousands of years, both before and after Socrates, all human cultures have been repeating:
"Know Yourself".
Self-awareness and self-discovery: the starting point of your personal self-growth
campaign.
Now here is my take on "know yourself": The part of "know yourself" I am really interested in
is "know what (or who) you want to be, or what you want to get".
To my mind, it is more important than knowing what (or who) you actually are.
It is essential for setting and achieving goals, etc.
Because ultimately, you are what you decide to be and you get what you decide to get
.
Know what you want to be or what you want to have.
Consider this as a challenge that you must clearly define and take up!
Decide what you want to be or have, what changes you want in your life, where you want changes
to take place etc.
Strangely enough, many people don't know what they EXACTLY want, or, which is the same, they
find it very difficult to clearly define it.
Do they only realize that "a problem well posed is a problem half solved"?
Nobody should know you, your wants, desires, intentions etc. better that you do.
Always remember that on every thing that concerns your own life and what works for
you,
“you and only YOU are THE EXPERT,
you are fully capable of achieving your goals”
Once you know yourself, you can set better goals, define your visions and desires, take more
action towards the realization of your goals, make better decisions, and use your natural strengths more fully.
Focus on knowing your future, intended, desired self i.e. You must be very clear and specific
regarding what you want to become and/or what you want to have and also why you want it so bad.
Also try to find out what exacly will happen to you once you get what you want, i.e. your
emotions, the changes in your life, the impact on your life etc.
2. HIGH VALUE OF PURPOSE = LOVE YOURSELF
Whatever you may have heard to the contrary, it is very nice and healthy to have the highest
opinion of yourself.
According to Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler: there is scientific evidence that "The more you like
yourself, the more you will accomplish, and the smarter and healthier you will be."
To which one of my mentors, the great Denis Waitley adds:
"Realize that the most important opinion about you is the one that you hold. Ultimately, nobody
else is responsible for your life but you. Nobody else is accountable for your actions but you. Therefore, nobody's opinion about you is more
important
than yours."
