As we look at the world around us we can make a claim that the nature of life is to grow. We see that in nature’s most basic living things. We also see this in more complex plants and animals.
Certainly, one could make the argument that the nature of life is also to deteriorate and die. However, such deterioration and death usually comes after a long and sustained period of growth and development.
Thus, if we focus on the growth and developmental factors we might ask what is it that drives us. Of course there is the element of DNA and cellular growth that emerges as the biological phenomenon of physical growth and development.
But what about other types of growth which include educational, career, social and spiritual development? I propose that these are propelled much less by the propulsions from our DNA which are unconscious to us and more by individual conscious decisions to grow.
If you analyze the lives of ultra successful people, you find that their successes came from their own internal decisions to push beyond the limits of their personal and social status quo. They decide on their vision, draw up their plans and take massive and unrelenting actions until they achieve success.
What about you? I propose that you need to to do the same. Let your purpose, vision and mission push and pull you towards what you decide will determine your success.
This push and pull comes from inside your head. It is conscious. It is a reality that you focus on every minute of your day. It is your road map and blue print. It mimics the behaviors of you DNA: unrelenting, purposeful, decisive, focused, determined, persistent, powerful… no stopping it until mission accomplished.
Pull yourself – Push yourself – Forward!
