I remember few months ago, sitting on a train and speaking to someone. He asked what I do, and I replied I life coach. Then I told him why I love what I do, and that is to help others live the life of their dreams; because if you are not living life with passion, you are not living at all. Someone in the front gave a short laugh and I wondered if he understood the true meaning of living life with passion.

We know few things about the people in the world. 95% live mediocre lives. 5% set goals, 2% of that achieves, and 1% becomes the top 1% achieving spectacular results. This brings us to the success journey, and one which is very important to consider.

The success journey comprises of these points:

* Your Dream

* The Inspiration

* The Call to Action

* The Struggle

* Your Victory

* Your Dream

It all begins with a dream. And this dream comes from the heart. Not one of a small thing, but a desire for something big. I call it the unsung song. There is music inside you. You may want to be a winning athlete, a Gold Olympian, richest man in the world, Nobel Prize winner, whatever. You have something you want to achieve.

Here is where many fail to reach the next step. I don't know the figure, but out of 95% of people, this number is big. Old man procrastination leaves people at an old age wondering what if. Here is where that ends for you, as you can now continue past this and go forward to victory.

* The Inspiration

Next are question comes how? When you have a dream deep within, realize that the universe also brings with it the resources for its achievement. If I big dream comes from deep within, I believe it has come from something bigger then us. This must mean that that higher power would also give you the resources for its achievement.

Suddenly, you feel inspired, and go forward formulating a plan for achievement. This is where you begin to take action, doing something. Your first 10% will determine 90% of your result.

* The Call to Action

Next is the real action, it is time to act. Here is where 95% of people will never see. They didn't take the call to action. Never took the road to success. Through self limiting beliefs and self sabotage the success journey is not undertaken.

Here is some motivation. If you think that before the dream is cold as Siberia, and your success, as the hottest of Africa, then every step you take is a step into warmer weathers.

* The Struggle

Most people are good starters, but bad finishers. Many plan, and many fail to start. After you begin on the journey, you have left the illusion of the warmness of your home, and the illusion of security, you begin to face struggles. The hail outside makes you want to turn back. Many say the journey is too hard and does something worse, turn back.

* Your Victory

Strive forward past the struggle and right after the worst, you are clothed in the warmth of the sun. You have achieved victory, and your success will pour in more abundantly then you ever imagined, you will feel like where has this success been hiding all these years.

This is how the success journey goes. If you can constantly keep in mind of the analogy of the stark cold weather and the warmth of summer in the hottest countries, then it will serve well. Keep on keeping on, and every step you take will be one step closer to a vision you hold in your heart.
