The Art of Success – Article #13 – Survivors Vs. Thrivers

Survivors Vs. Thrivers

Most people want to succeed in life (i.e., thrive), yet theyโ€™re programmed merely to survive.

These two conditions โ€” surviving and thriving โ€” come from two entirely different mindsets.

The survivor believes thereโ€™s never enough of anything. Survivors never succeed, because they spend all of their life trying to โ€œgetโ€ what they think they need to surviveโ€ฆusually love, security, or self-esteem.

Subconsciously, theyโ€™ve been programmed to believe in ideas of lack and limitation. Youโ€™re not enough, Iโ€™m not enough, thereโ€™s not enoughโ€ฆ

Everything in the survivorโ€™s world confirms this idea of โ€œnot enough.โ€ It forms their reality. The survivorโ€™s life is like living hell, and they are barely getting by.

Theyโ€™re constantly thinking thoughts of lack or limitation everywhere they go. โ€œThis is too expensive. I canโ€™t afford that. If only I had enough money to do thisโ€ฆโ€

The survivor even seeks out and harmonizes with other people who have similar problems.

Theyโ€™re always looking for opportunities to get, get, get. I want to get the deal, get the bargain, get the money.

Theyโ€™re programmed to think they have to get, because all they see is lack.

But this is an incorrect way of living.

The law says,

โ€œGive and youโ€™ll receive.โ€

Thrivers are successful, because they GIVE to their world and the Universe responds in kind. Thrivers already feel loved, secure, and have a healthy self-esteem on the inside.

Theyโ€™re solid, so they donโ€™t need to go out and โ€œgetโ€ things. Instead, they GIVE through everything they do.

To โ€œthriveโ€ means to flourish. The thriver creates a life full of love, joy, peace, prosperity, and giving. Thatโ€™s success. THAT is real living!

A thriverโ€™s thoughts are in harmony with ideas of abundance and plenty.
They:

Once youโ€™ve formed a clear picture of your desired destination, get emotionally involved with it.

โ€ข love giving to other people;

โ€ข provide recognition to others;

โ€ข freely express themselves;

โ€ข know what they want, and where theyโ€™re going.

Thrivers attract
opportunities to give

โ€” to provide valuable products and services to other individuals.

Which one are you โ€” a survivor or a thriver?

The Art of Success – Article #12 – 2 Things That Prevent Continued Success

2 Things That Prevent Continued Success

Do you know the two things preventing you from experiencing continued success in your life?

#1 – Not knowing where you are.

#2 – Not knowing where youโ€™re going.

You may think to yourself, โ€œCome on, Neagle. Youโ€™ve got to be kidding me. I know exactly where I am, and where Iโ€™m going.โ€

Do you?

Many people donโ€™t have the slightest idea where they are.

For example, letโ€™s say your goal is to build a successful business. But you have an underlying need for love, security, or self-esteem from other people.

Instead of understanding the TRUTH (which is that you already have these three things inside of you), youโ€™ll be out there trying to GET those things from other people.

Every decision you make, whether itโ€™s to go some place or do something, will be based on the goal of โ€œgettingโ€ one of those three things in various different forms of manifestation.

If you have a need for security, then youโ€™ve probably built your entire life around โ€œfeelingโ€ secure.

Since everything you do is secretly laced with the underlying need for security, youโ€™ll resist doing the things required to grow your business.

You MUST know where youโ€™re starting from (know yourself and your beliefs). come to you.

Once you begin to understand where you are, you can make shifts inside of yourself, and everything you need will come to you.

(Itโ€™s like the old saying, โ€œWhen the student is ready, the teacher will appear.โ€ Thatโ€™s absolutely true.)

The second piece critical to your success is to know where youโ€™re going. You canโ€™t get somewhere without first knowing where youโ€™re going. Otherwise, youโ€™re just wandering aimlessly.

I mean knowing at a deep level where you want to go.

This requires paying close attention to your desires and acting on them.

Desire is the guide that shows you where to go. It offers hints and leave clues.

Once youโ€™ve formed a clear picture of your desired destination, get emotionally involved with it.

Make it real in your mind.

Then take action on it.

Everything you need for the fulfillment of that desire will show itself.

What about business-personal balance?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions
for Life”
comes from Marna.

Neagle                                               Code Question


David, I am really struggling to find some kind of balance between business and personal. Iโ€™m building my business and my boyfriend keeps telling me that Iโ€™m working too hard. Heโ€™s constantly asking me to quit working and pay attention to him.

Iโ€™m really torn between doing everything I can to build a successful business and doing everything to build a successful relationship. Is there a balance, and if there is, how can I find it?

Thanks!

Neagle                                               Code Answer


Thank you for asking this important question. Finding balance can often feel like a high-wire act! Personal relationships can impact your business and vice versa, especially if a relationship is not founded on complimentary or mutually shared values.

It sounds like you and your boyfriend donโ€™t value the same things. This in turn can create a conflict rather than a balance issue.

When someone is asking you to deny your desire to grow (so they can be happy) and to choose between them or your business, ask yourself the following questions:

Why have I attracted this?

What is this here to teach me?

What are the emotions and thoughts that are coming up around this for me?

The truth is, love means total acceptance, and if your boyfriend is not totally accepting of your desires, it may be toxic.

Youโ€™re feeling out-of-balance because you are feeling torn to choose and you shouldnโ€™t have to choose.

When you align yourself with values that show you how you can, instead of the all reasons for why you canโ€™t, you will continue on your fast track to growth, and nothing will stop you.

Brought home a failing grade…what happened next?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

I have incredible fear surrounding saying no to my clients, disappointing my clients and possibly having my clients be angry with me. This fear exists all the time, even if nothing is going wrong in my business. It is affecting my physical health to the point that I've consulted multiple doctors and am now on medication. I also considered giving up my business on a regular basis. How can I get past this?

Answer:

Thanks so much for your question…

The answer is both simple and a journey in itself.

You must learn to love yourself.

The reason you're afraid of disappointing someone is because you are relying on them to make you feel ok or worthy or good enough or loved (you pick).

At some point in your life you picked up the belief that you had to be something, do something or act a certain way to be loved. If you disappointed someone, either there were consequences, or they withheld love.

Here's an example to help you see what I mean:

A child struggles in school. Even though they are giving it their best, they bring home an F on their report card. The child's parents are disappointed, and instead of helping the child work to figure out why they are struggling, they get upset, angry or even punish the child.

The message is clear to the child that they are not good enough. So they work harder at doing whatever they can to gain the acceptance of their parents, because to them acceptance now equals love.

Fast forward to your situation.

You don't want to do anything to upset your client because it will cause you to feel that same pain you felt as a child, and so you're willing to put up with anything or do anything to avoid feeling that way again.

The only way to stop feeling this way is to love yourself the same way God loves you.

Unconditionally.
