In the U.S. we have trained so many people to just wait and someone else will take care of it that our success mentality has depleted considerably. Each person has within them the ability to change his or her life. we need to get back to teaching that to everyone especially our students. Thanks.

Your comment "I have come to the conclusion that learning is the fundamental activity in a successful and purposeful life" I tend to think the activity of GIVING is our purpose here on earth. The meaning of life can be answered by giving. The Jenilee Foundation A very good post.

I like all the points but I don't really think that leadership needs to be in this list. I guess it depends on your definition of success, mine is to "Life consistently with Purpose" and that doesn't require leadership. You could be living a life following completely of servanthood and that would be VERY successful. Your points on leadership are what I would label as "societal success". What the masses think.

Great points

Proactivity often means taking risks which is how we expand our lives – not easy. And that is where a great deal of the fear creeps in.

I really like that you talk about self-leadership. We need to be self-aware in order to succeed.

My conclusion was; I can't erase the feeling of fear - what I can do is change my reaction. Instead of retreating (which is generally my first response), I need to realize I am experiencing fear (generally the fear of failure) and accept this fear as part of the road towards growth, and proceed regardless. I have been trying to decipher what the difference between the way I react to a challenge is as compared to the way a successful entrepreneur would react. Currently, I am under the impression it has to do with their chosen reaction to fear. I believe an entrepreneur sees fear of failure as an opportunity to learn, whereas my conditioned response to fear of failure is to see it as an opportunity to be embarrassed. I'm working on changing this habit -- but it's not easy -- which makes it all the more worthwhile to try and change. I’ve been thinking quite a bit about fear lately.

I especially agree with the part about continuing to learn. I think that too often, we as adults forget that we have to do this in order to be successful in our endeavors. I found some similar cool stuff by Joan Marie Whelan--a life coach and healer. Her blog (http://www.intuitiongirl.com) has some good articles that are in the same vein. Check them out if you get a chance. Thanks again for the post! Awesome post! I especially agree with the part about continuing to learn.
