Below is a short follow on from the above video , which will certainly get you thinking!
Have you thought about your Contentment Cake? Have you baked it into your life?
We all need to look at different areas of our life to see where we might be able to make positive adjustments.
Also it is very important to understand we all have struggles with who we are and how we think about ourselves.
Every time i have spoken with and interviewed extremely successful people. They all admit , ‘not always on camera’… that they have daily problems and fear around who they are, will they continue to be successful or seen to be successful.
They will always emphasize that they might be seen to be on top of their game but in other areas of their life they are lacking.
So is it OK! to be struggling and fearful in certain parts of your make up because everyone else is feeling similar and struggling with their confidence.
No one ever said life was going to be easy or meant to be!
In my mind there is a big difference between success and contentment but they do cross over. I will leave it to you to decide how you apply, differentiate and use those words in your life.
The most important observation for me is the happy winners ‘face the fear’ and get on and do it anyway!
They do not let the fear and doubt stop them from moving forward with their desired destination in life.
One last observation is they also take time to work in the areas where they can improve, they do not delegate their responsibility.
A mentor of mine once said to me with a wry smile ‘ glen i can show help and guide you , but i can’t do your press ups for you’!
Go and check your ‘contentment cake’ it takes about 20 minutes and it is fun if you approach the exercise with a positive attitude without being to judgmental and self critical.
We are all a little freaky!..and that is OK!
