01-The DNA of Success

Today we're going to talk about DNA¹: that thing that makes you who

you are, that thing that makes you who you can become, that thing

that is coded into your essence and determines what your capacity is,

what your limits are! Your DNA is your "Decisions and Actions."

That's what determines who you are!

If you do enough research and listen to enough scientists on human

potential, they will tell you that you are precisely² where you are in

life because of the decisions and actions that you've taken up to

this point. Understanding this is critical to going forward with

success. If you are today the result of all the decisions and actions

up to this point, then who you are tomorrow will be the result of all

the decisions and actions you take between now and then. So,

understanding that, getting your hands and mind around this DNA, is

the key. Every decision you make, every action you take is either in

support of or in opposition³ to your achievement of whatever you have

determined⁴ as your own individual success.

But understand this: if you have the winner's DNA, everything

changes. Everything is changing. You look out into the world and you

see allies instead of enemies. You see keys instead of locks. You see

solutions instead of obstacles. Getting your mind around these

"Decisions and Actions" makes your path to your individual goals that

much clearer. People with the winning DNA don't request that the path

to their success be easy. They don't even request that it be fair.

They just request that it be Worth It because if they know that it's

worth it, then they can do whatever is necessary to achieve it. All

that is necessary, the only thing that is necessary, is that you

understand that the only thing between you now and you where you want

to be is all the Decisions and Actions that you can squeeze in

between.

Give yourself a DNA test. Ask yourself, "What are the decisions I am

making and what are the actions I am taking? Why am I making those

decisions? Why am I taking those actions? Where are those decisions

taking me? Where are those actions leading me? Are they taking me to

a place that is worth it?" If they are, then we will all see you when

you arrive; because there is nothing on this planet that can stop

you.

Decide. Act. And expect a great day!
