THE EFFECT OF GEOGRAPHY ON YOUR THINKING

Geography

Where you live and who you live with is going to pretty much determine your beliefs, your prejudices and consequently your ability to be successful. Living in Europe and the US we are undoubtedly privileged in the lives we lead. Here in the UK people generally  live well within their comfort zone so its not surprising relatively few people really step out of the norm and reach their true potential. Success is indeed relative, for some just taking another breath is success enough, but as we gain a normal life, the levels of our focus become diluted so our actual achievement levels become relatively low with a very high number of excuses for not doing except what society dictates to us.

Social Conscience is a powerful tool to make you behave a certain  way and 'give' on a certain day when it comes to charity. Personally I find giving to charities difficult as I would rather know when I help someone the money or gift I give is 100% received, although charities are undoubtedly a necessary mechanism to get help to those who need it, possibly if we all  helped the person right next to us, it might be a more effective method.

  Whilst we all approach giving in our own certain way or not at all, reminding people of their concience to give to help others is funnily enough very similar to this project. Reminding people they should give to themselves, is waking them up to feel essentially slightly bad that they are not giving themselves all they have got to give, for without taking action you are passive in life and them you are just part of the passenger fraternity. And what's wrong with that? We all take a ride from time to time in life , and we all get taken for a ride as well, but it doesn't  mean life has to occilate between these two poles of ineffectual activity.

Taking action, as I will continually repeat in this blog, is an essential key to success, and it is habit forming. Once you develop the mind set of someone who takes decisive and immediate action, you will find that you take advantage of opportunity as soon as it presents itself, the results will be astounding. Suddenly the world opens up and people open up to you, your work rate will increase and the results will improve exponentially.

You see, just being reminded, having your conscience twigged to actually help yourself to reach your full potential isn't going to do it. To effect the massive change success can bring your life, you will have to take what at first seems massive action, but as with all things, as time passes what was massive action yesterday, becomes just an every day average occurrence tomorrow, as you will simply expect success as naturally as breathing, not hoping for a possibility and luck to deal you a break. Lady luck isn't so obliging to the hopefuls, for God helps those who help themselves.
