Your inner foundation – Your relationship with yourself

The most powerful thing you can ever do for yourself is to build your foundation, your inner foundation. The foundation of your life is the relationship you have with yourself!
This is the relationship you build with yourself through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is what you believe about who you are and how your life is going to go.

Your relationship with yourself is the most powerful relationship you will ever have.
Think about it. Think about the relationship you have with your lover. Now, think of the relationship you have with your best friend. With yourself? With your thoughts? With your feelings? With your actions? Your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you will ever have.

So, why is it the most important relationship?

Because your life, your happiness, and your joy will be directly proportional to that relationship.
The thoughts you send out and the feelings you embrace and the actions you take will either build a strong foundation, or a weak foundation.

How to create an inner foundation for success

There are three keys steps to creating your inner foundation for success.
1. Write down your top 5 goals that you would like to see achieved.
2. Write down your top 5 fears.
3. Write down your top 5 beliefs. (Beliefs are your thoughts.)
4. Write down your top 5 actions. (Actions are your feelings.)

Now, take these 20 items and put them into a list (bulleted, numbered, or however you like). You now have your 20 key items.
Break down each of these 20 items into achievable goals.
Break down each fear into manageable parts.
Break down each belief into manageable parts.
Then, break down each action into manageable parts. Stay focused on the 20 items.
They key to success is to break things down into manageable parts. (It’s not important that you do it perfectly!)

This way, you get to focus on the important parts. You’re no longer overwhelmed. You’re no longer feeling the pressure. You’re no longer feeling like you’re behind. You are no longer feeling like you’re behind. You are focused on the important parts. As you work on the important parts, your confidence grows. As you work on what is important, your fear recedes. As you work on what is important, your beliefs grow. As you work on what is important, your joy increases. As you work on what is important, your success grows.

When you focus on the important parts, your life changes.
When you focus on what is important, your life changes.

This process will help you gain clarification in your vision and purpose, as well as help you identify your gaps and roadblocks that could prevent you from achieving success.

How to create and follow a plan to achieve success

1. Know what you want:
To achieve any goal, you need to first know what it is that you want. There are many things in life that you want to achieve but you have to decide what you want first. Ask yourself, what is it that I really want?
Getting clear about what you want will make it easier for you to create and follow a plan to achieve it.

2. Develop a plan to get it
Once you have a clear vision of what it is that you want, the next step is to create a plan that will get you there. Creating a plan simply means visualizing your goal and breaking it down into an action plan.

For example, let’s say that you want to write a book. Your first step is to figure out how much time you want to dedicate to writing your book. Then, you break down that amount of time into writing sessions. You can also use a timer to set specific writing times or milestones in your schedule.
Writing down your plan helps ensure that you have a direction to follow, which makes it easier to achieve.

3. Take action
Once you’ve created your plan, it’s time to get started!
It’s important to remember that it will take time for you to achieve any goal and it’s very important that you stick with it.

Many people will quit or give up after a few weeks because things don’t happen as quickly as they would like. They may not have the support that they need, or they might not be able to see the progress that they’re making.

4. Get feedback:

In order to stay motivated, it’s important to get feedback. How?
By measuring your progress, you can determine how well the plan is working.

For example, you can track how many words or pages you’ve written each day, or how many articles you’ve been able to publish each week.

By tracking your progress, you’ll be able to see if you’re on track to meet your deadlines, and if you’re meeting your goals.

5. Adjust and adapt

As time goes on, you may find that your plan isn’t working or that it’s taking you longer than you thought it would to achieve your goals. Don’t get discouraged! Instead, adjust your plan.

How to deal with setbacks and failures while pursuing success

Life has twists and turns and there will inevitably be times when things aren’t going as planned. Whether it’s in relationships, career or finances, unexpected unfortunate circumstances can have a negative impact on our sense of well-being.

However, instead of focusing on the negative aspects of a setback, consider a time in the past when you experienced success. Recall what you did in order to achieve that success. Then it’s simply a matter of applying those same principles to your current circumstances.

Are you still working your way up? Don’t panic. Your setbacks don’t mean you are a failure. Instead, look at your setbacks as challenges. They can be viewed as opportunities for reflection and growth.

The important thing to keep in mind is that setbacks are only temporary. Indeed, they can often be a blessing in disguise.

How to maintain your inner foundation for success over the long term

Your inner foundation for success is your inner self which keep you going in the long run.
It is the foundation that ensures that you’re ready to take on whatever life throws at you.

A few things to remember to maintain your inner foundation for success over the long term:

The things you do. Know your personal strengths and use your skills. Being aware and using your strengths will translate into long-term benefits, such as more career opportunities, higher income, and more confidence.

The goals you set. Identify your long-term goals, and then set small goals to achieve them. This will keep you motivated, energized, and focused on achieving your goals.

Your relationships. People in your life who are good influences are precious. Build and nurture positive relationships with them. They will inspire you, help you, and support you.

Your health. A healthy body helps you maintain your focus, energy, and motivation. Practice good eating habits, get regular exercise, and get enough sleep to maintain a healthy body.

Your wealth. Money can buy a lot of things, but it can’t buy you good health or positive relationships. So, don’t put all your focus on money.

Mind games

Now, you’re probably thinking that that isn’t all that powerful, but trust me, it is. When you build a strong foundation, you build a solid foundation for your life.
Now, you might be thinking, “My life isn’t going all that well right now. I don’t know what to do with my life.”
That is ok. You are not alone. I know how you feel.

But, the thing to realize is that no matter what is going on in your life, you can start building a strong relationship with yourself.
You can build a strong relationship between you and yourself.

3 steps to start to build your inner foundation:

1. Identify your core values and beliefs.
2. Develop a personal mission statement that incorporates your core values and beliefs.
3. Write down your goals and values.

I know that it seems too simple, but it really works. You’ll be amazed at how much stronger you feel about yourself. You’ll also start attracting the right people into your life. Focus on what you want, not on what you lack. Achieve positive behaviors, and your positive actions will attract positive results. Focus on what you can control, not on what you cannot. When you focus on your values, your beliefs, and your goals, you’ll start to attract positive results into your life. Your positive actions will bring you positive results.

Conclusion

Your relationship with yourself is the foundation upon which your whole world rests.
It is this relationship that determines every action, every word, and every moment you will ever have. It is this relationship that will determine the rest of your life!
But you can’t build a foundation with bricks that someone else gave you.
You have to build it with your own hands. You have to build it with beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions that you choose…
Only you can choose.
No one else can do it for you.
No one else can control you and build that foundation for you.
No one else can make that choice for you.
Only you can decide.
Only you can choose.
