Eight Qualities of Successful People
#1: Balance
When you are imbalanced you feel tense, uncomfortable, and lack peace. Because of this you cannot find inner harmony and make decisions from a calm state of being. You consequently regret decisions you make while imbalanced. To exist in a state of balance is to be calm, stable and in a centered place where you can apply the right amount of emotion and rationality to make sound decisions and judgments.
#2: Harmony
Harmony is an inner agreement integrating understanding, emotion and conduct. It is evident in an obvious congruity between what you think, feel, say, and do.
#3: Joy
Joy is a constant state of well-being and contentment. Joy is not happiness. Happiness comes and goes with circumstances. Joy is a constant and results from being in balance and harmony with yourself. Joy exists internally even when external situations are not what is desired. Joy results in being an approachable person. It results in being open to new situations and remaining optimistic when there are challenges. Joy sees possibilities and alternative solutions. Joy results in the courage to face the future.
#4: Courage
Courage is the capacity to face uncertainty, challenges, pain or danger and deciding to continue with your chosen course of action. Courage empowers you to speak your truth in the face of opposition.
#5: Generosity
Generosity is about giving people more than they give you in exchange and knowing when to do it so it benefits both you and the other person. It is not about giving of you time, emotions and money and getting nothing in return. It is about having the power to understand that what you are giving is coming from a source beyond yourself and you are the human vessel through which it is being given. You do not give what you do not have. You give out of your abundance, time, talent and money through your heart. You give out of love, not guilt, embarrassment or obligation. You feel enriched through the giving, not depleted.
#6: Organization
The universe needs a clear path into your life to bring in abundance and wealth. Organization is the ability to keep things in such an orderly sate that you know how to retrieve anything and everything you need. This means you have a filing system for your important documents, your money is organized within your walled and you know exactly how much money you have in it at any given time, your books are organized and stored on shelves, your car is clean and not being used as a storage bin or garbage can, your closets are organized and neat, you have all the resources you need to keep your home, car, and business clean, and you take responsibility to put things back in their place when you are done with them. You also clean out your closets and shelves on a regular bass to make room for new things. Wealth eludes those who do not care enough to stay organized. The organized person both starts a task (book, project, assignment etc), and finishes it. Organization includes cleanliness and order and is a powerful character marker.
#7: Wisdom
Wisdom is a combination of self-knowledge, intuition, education and experience. The wise person is able to make sound judgments because self-knowledge gained has been gained from the other six qualities -- balance, harmony, joy, courage, generosity, and organization. You tap into your self-knowledge and your core beliefs, and draw upon your intuition, education and experience. You choose to what is right and best rather than what is easy.
#8: Excellence
Excellence is the cumulative portrait of a confident and accomplished person who has incorporated the other seven qualities into her/his life. This is a portrait of a person who is in control of her/his destiny. This is a person who is going places – a some great places they will be!
