Is Destiny Calling US? What Are Our Success Goals?
Since I have been here at Wealthy Affiliate, it has challenged my sense of what and how I see success. And so I wanted to share with you some ideas and affirmations that have helped me. And do share back, please.
Let me know what you think, OK?
In many ways to me success is how many people did I serve today, or who was I able to share a smile with, or what new connection of truly seeing another did I do today? And I have also known that my destiny lies in that space of helping and giving.
But now success also has another ring to it. I am now ready to embrace being financially successful. And that I am learning, well, LOL, it has a learning curve for me.
Does it for you?
In the book Rendezvous with Destiny, the author Jim Janz, talks about this whole concept.
Here are some quotes from that book:
"If you have been struggling or if you instinctively know you do could do so much more, then you are ready for a breakthrough. Making a quantum leap is a radical idea and it requires a fundamental shift in the way you think and operate. But it is not complicated or profound. In fact Mozart said: True genius lies in simplicity."
Doesn't that so make sense?
I am always so profoundly impacted when someone is able to break something down into very simple terms and make it so easy to follow and implement. I know people like Bo Tipton do that all the time. As Kyle does also in his training, And Loes in her always showing us more information to use.
And that to me is a sign of genius.
Because it offers both clarity and action. Right?
And here is a little ditty that makes me smile, Good better best, never let it rest, until the good is better and the better is the best."
And to all the skeptics we encounter: "What many skeptics don't understand is the ripple effect that takes place when one person dares to follow their dream and make their destiny a reality."
Whew! Now that is really powerful, yes? So what is our ripple effect going to be??
And this is the one that kept me going when I was so ill. "The determining factor in how we come out of any situation has a lot to do with whether we have a victim mentality or an optimistic survival perspective."
Since you are here at WA, I am guessing you are no longer in the victim mentality. YES?
And...does this apply to you?
Only when you know who are, where you are going and only when you have found the vehicle or vehicles to take you there, do you actually have a chance of getting there.
And I think we would all agree, it has to be an inside job yes? the saying, "if it is to be it is up to me", well..that about sums it up, yes?
And this is one of my favorites, tell me what you think.
"When inner peace and balance are there, outer poise and confidence exude and it is visible for all to see. And it is also for us all to achieve."
I know when I see someone who is just glowing and shiny that they have it together. And we are attracted to people like that. We know they figured out their stuff. Can we all do that?
YES WE CAN!
In the book he also asks this question that truly spoke in volumes: "How willing are we to submit ourselves to what has already proven to work and to those who are experienced in our area of endeavor?"
So essentially here at WEalthy Affiliate, we are given beyond world class training, are we willing to hear it, do it and them implement it?
And we know here at WA we are a bunch who march to a different drummer..so let's celebrate that, OK?
And I will end with this, its kind of check list..ready?
"We all have to look inside to see:
how focused our purpose
how intense our desire
how solid our will to win
how good our work ethic
and how strong our faith really is."
So can we quantify and answer these questions? If so, we are well on our way to fulfilling our destiny in every way possible.
I know we can all make these shifts and make it happen. And especially if we are on the NOW PLAN.
Oh and one more quote... this is the one that makes us really think out of the box..ready?
"Consider this elegant solution: Most barriers are imaginary!"
Yup, we make obstacles that are not really there. A buffet to chew on yes?
Please tell me below how you are stepping in and fulfilling the destiny you know you were brought here to do.
Don't be shy, this will really help all of us. It is very motivational.
Come on, show us your destiny!
Because I am high on believing and knowing that Wealthy Affiliate is helping me to fulfil my destiny. What about you?
In peace and gratitude,

What an amazing well written and inspirational post! I too understand that my destiny lies in helping and giving to others. At 51 I am in a career and life transition. The process here at WA has been cathartic and helped me to hone my vision in a new direction. I am so grateful I found this community! I wrote down your checklist and placed it prominently in my workspace to remind me of my passion for this new journey every day. Thank you again for reminding me to keep the faith and keep fighting for my dreams!
I had a moment of clarity today. I have always been upset with myself when I get a migraine. I had one today that kept me from accomplishments I had planned to make.
Instead of the negative self-talk during and after the episode, I asked myself, what positives can I take out of this?
As you know, my niche is migraine relief. After some thought, I took the following out of it:
Experiencing migraines puts me closer to my readers. It puts me in there frame of mind and reminds me of what they are going through and what concerns they face.
With each episode, I have been able to personally test the products that I am promoting which lend an air of authority to what I write.
I feel I am in a place of growth now. I am going through Bo's GoGetter's training and I feel I have learned more in the past two weeks than in the last few months. I am ready for this and things are improving. I made the breakthrough that has ended my negative self-talk. I feel closer than ever to my readers.
I just wanted to share that with you!
Have a wonderful Friday!

There's a lot to think about here. But in this huge buffet of things to think about, what I will take away to use very soon is the ditty 'Good better best...' Had forgotten all about it - will now use it with one of my little pupils who is making good progress.
Thank you - as always - for giving us great things to think about.

Thanks Ariel for another great post. I believe in the quote 'If it is to be, it's up to me'.
Although others can help us on our way, if we don't apply what we've learned we will not achieve.
This also works for those we help. We can give much time and effort to others who may or may not follow our advice.
Achievement comes from a positive mindset and dedication to the job in hand.
And what helps to achieve a positive mindset is reading inspirational posts such as your's, and Loes' post referred to within this trail.
Best wishes.

This is another wonderful, thoughtful post from you. I adore reading them. My quote to give is by Theodore Roosevelt: "Believe you can and you’re halfway there."
So I believe that I can make it in the online world. I believe I can make my dreams come true. I am already halfway there to everything I have ever wanted.
Another is by Yoda of all people, and anyone who has seen Star Wars should know this quote "Do or do not. There is no try."
So, we are not trying to make a website, we are making a website. We are not trying to make money online, we are making money online. The money may not be here yet, but it is coming, as long as we continue to do and not simply try.
Wishing you success and happiness on your journey.
Take care.
I love your quotes! Especially the 'Do or do not. There is no try.'
Thank you for reminding me of that quote.
Wishing you lots of success and happiness too.

I like those also...and i especially like the there is no try. Although sometimes that makes me feel like I did not do it hard enough.LOL
Oh so perfectly said! Many thanks..and Yoda is my guy.LOL
So we are also already successful. And this journey is beyond amazing.
I can see how it can make you feel like you did not try hard enough. I think you just have to do your best expecting that it is going to work rather than doing it with the attitude of 'Let's try it and see what happens.'
Another quote comes to mind 'Fortune favours the brave'.
Another quote that definitely works here on WA is from Albert Einstein. "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."
Ah, lots of food for thought - thank you, Ariel!
One of my favorites is "You cannot fail if you never stop making progress." It's kind of an awkward sentence with a double negative, but I love the message. Just keep trying and making progress!
Or another way of putting it: "You don't fail until you quit."
Yes, it's so true that success has many faces and financial success is just one small aspect of the whole concept. And no kind of success is possible with a victim mentality but requires a strong belief in yourself and that you can make things happen. You are your own facilitator of success.
Well said Sammy. Great job. Thanks for being here. So here we go..to be facilitators of our own success.
Success means to everyone something else, I wrote once a post about this too. What Is Standing In Your Way Of Success It doesn't have to be financial at all.
I found a little success of me in this post, to be mentioned in one sentence with Kyle, I am deeply honored!
Thank you:)
Oh I am going to read this article. Thank you for this.
And you are success. There is no doubt in my mind!
Thank you Loes!
Hi Ariel, What struck me the most here at Wealthy Affiliate was what is possible for me to learn...there really is no glass ceiling here. You take your success (or failure) as far as you intend. I, myself, intend to take my success up and up and up.
I'm only a short way into the book, Rendezvous with Destiny. It has an incredibly inspiring message, or should I say, layering of messages.
Your post is also incredibly inspiring. A daily dose of Ariel-ness touches my heart every time.
All the best,
Sue
Hello Sue, I so agree. It is my vehicle to my destiny. I know that for sure. And I am so glad that we get to share it. Thank you for your very kind words..Ariel-ness..hmmm.LOL

Hi Ariel,
After reading your "call to action" I was able to reflect on my work today. It was the first time, I was able to spend most of the day in managing, reviewing, studying or learning something on WA.
I recognized my vow to create my success no matter what I need to do or how long it will take. I've made the determination to work at it at least 4 hours daily.
I was happily surprised at how much I enjoyed my day & thankful I had minimal discomfort.
Thank you for directing me to Bo Tipton's Gogetters Training,
Lovetta**
