3 things to look back when you are already successful

Keep track of your progress. A journal will be helpful

A quick trip to the province and here we are, 3 siblings at bliss. We were laughing and exchanging ideas while I'm driving. We were discussing our passion, achieving our goals and success. A trip home is not just a siblings quality time but sometimes can be a source of unexpected lessons. 

My sister mentioned that when a person becomes successful, people will then look back and study these three things to better know the person's influences and how he became successful: library, photographs and journal. 

What she said hit me as it quickly linked my study of personal growth and how it coincides with success: 

As I stated in one of my previous posts, we are multi-dimensional beings living in 4 realms in the world. We live in the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical realms. And to be successful in life, we need to satisfy all these 4 realms.

1. Library

The library represents nourishment of our mental realm. As stated, if we are not growing, we are dying. Successful people are learners. More often than not, successful people have at least 3 books that influence them and surely one is on personal development.

2. Photograph

Photographs represent the memories you have created. This is to satisfy our emotional realm, that to be truly successful, we must have created awesome memories with ourselves, loved ones and others. 

3. Journal

And the journal represents the learning. This satisfies our spiritual realm as it involves personal realizations, learning and resolutions. It is often noted that most successful people have written books, blogs, or are great speakers because they want to share to the world their learning. Or some just plainly have their personal journal. 

When all these realms are satisfied, then inevitably the physical realm follows. We need first to grow and be successful inside and the outside success will manifest itself.

When I told them these realizations to my siblings, I got a standing ovation inside the car. (Just kidding)

Invest in your growth,
