Check out the work of AXS CEO Troy McClain. This dynamic leader, philanthropist, motivational speaker and business consultant shared some of his thoughts and reflections about success.
Our dreams can become reality; your wishes can happen. What you want, what you desire, you can have. Your wish is your command. You can Be, Do, or Have anything and everything you want and have it happen in record time! Focus on the fundamentals. Master the basics. Build the foundation and you’ll be able to build your whole life.
Some people dream mostly of material success in life. They want to make lots of money and achieve, perform, and achieve more. Others deeply desire inner peace, bliss, joy, contentment, and fulfillment. This group would always feel good, in any situation that life throws at them. Those who only seek, and sometimes achieve, material riches and worldly sensual pleasures simply do not have that warm feeling with them all the time.
But does it have to be one path or the other? In an interview with KTVB, I put the two paths together:
I tell people … I invite people to look at things. First of all, everybody thinks that success equals money. I disagree with that. I don’t think that success equals money because I could introduce you to millionaires and tell you about billionaires that have jumped off of buildings, … third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth divorce. Then I can talk to you about my Mama. My mom was a single mom with three beautiful children. My mom was in between success cycles a lot. That says a lot. We learned how to love. We learned how to give back. Just have fun. Be happy now. Who is more successful? … depends on who you are talking about. Are you talking about monetary value? What it was worth to me? It was worth my entire life. And I love my beautiful bride. And I get to love her because we have time to do that. We travel the world. My life … I couldn’t even imagine before. Now I can so, “Oh yeah, I’ve done that. I’ve been to the White house. I went to Paris France, five times last year. Oh yeah .. Mexico.” Sure, that’s great.
… But that’s not what it’s about. It’s not about where we get to go. It’s who we get to go there with. And we go there with faith, with family, with love.
Additionally, I have been given specific experiences in real life to deal with first hand. These trials allowed me to learn by trial, error and personal confrontation. I learned my staying up for long nights, pondering praying and wondering how to make sense of it all. This type of development can only occur when the situation is real, not hypothetical. Consistently applying these real life experiences to AXS curriculum took my training to the highest levels.
You can be as rich as you desire. You can have all your wishes granted AND you can have total inner peace, bliss, joy, contentment, and fulfillment. This is not merely a set of privileges. Be. Do. Have. You have a right to be happy and eliminate all suffering in your life. You have a right to prosper and live your dreams.
