It is Not What We Expect, But What We are Willing
to Accept in Life that Matters
All of us have got dreams we aspire to attain in our
lives. These dreams come from people who inspire us. We may dream of
making $20,000 a month, owning a luxury car and living in a million
dollar mansion. At the same time, based on our beliefs, we also have
what I call a ‘level of acceptance’.
This
‘level of acceptance’ means that though you may aspire to earn
$20,000 a month, you are willing to accept earning $3000 a month.
Although you would love to live in a million dollar house, you are
quite willing to settle for a small apartment, Although you would
love to be at an ideal weight of 65kg, you are willing to live life
at 75kg.
You may set a goal to earn $20,000 but if you are
willing to accept earning $3000, then $3000 is what you are going to
end up getting. Why? Because the $3000 level of acceptance is what
we make a ‘must’ for ourselves.
We will not allow ourselves to earn below that level of what we
believe is our minimum. This is our tolerance level. The moment we
think we are going to go below our acceptance level, our mind hits
panic mode and we will do whatever it takes to get above that.
Again, when we are committed to do whatever it takes, we will get
it.
People who make $20,000 a month do so because to
them, that is their level of acceptance, That is what they believe
they are worth. They will not accept anything less. They will never
accept $5000 or even $10,000 a month. They will do whatever it takes
to get the level they believe they deserve.
You Must Raise your Acceptance Levels.
Unless we raise our acceptance levels, we will
never do what is necessary to achieve our goals. So if you want to
make more money, you have to raise your standards of what you are
willing to accept. You have to raise your standards of what you are
willing to accept.
Be very honest with yourself, what is your current
level of expectation and level of acceptance in the different areas
of your life? Invest the time to reflect and to write down your
thoughts.
If you want success to become your reality, make
it so that you will never settle for anything less. Raise your level
of acceptance to the level of your goals and you can't help but
become successful.
