BLIMP Your Way To Success and Happiness

I'm not talking about the hot air balloon which flies above the sky advertising big signs such as GOOD YEAR tires. B.L.I.M.P. is an acronym which focuses on five important values and skill concepts that will make you a better person if you choose to practice and develop these traits in yourself. Use this knowledge to obtain happiness and success.

  • Balance
  • Leadership
  • Inspiration
  • Motivation
  • Persuasion
The first skill and concept to master (balance) will create a foundation for everything else in your life. The second (Leadership) is a skill you should practice everyday in order to make a difference in your life and in those around you. The last three skills (some qualities of a leader) will provide you with the ability to attract others, obtain credibility, be acknowledge and respected, and  provide meaningful influence to the world.

Balance

Finding a balance in your life can make your whole world less stressful.You've heard it before, "All things in moderation". Too much or too little of anything will cause more harm than good. This can be applied to any area of your life.

For example, Too much partying can leave you burnt out and unable to function properly the next day. You won't get any productive work done. On the other hand, working too much takes away time from spending with family, loved ones, and friends.

Or think of it as going to take a shower. When you first get in its too cold. So you turn the knob to make it warmer. If you go too far, it my get too hot. You have to re-adjust until you reach your desired warmth level. Now everyone's "warm zone" may be different. The key is to finding out what the balance is for you.

The old children's story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears when Goldilocks tastes the porridge is an excellent example. She taste's Papa Bear's porridge which is too hot, Then she taste's Mama Bear's porridge which is too cold. Finally, she taste's Baby Bear's porridge and its just right so she finishes it off. Even a child can learn the importance of finding the perfect balance.

Leadership

Being a leader, and being a good one, takes some skills and training. But having the mindset of a leader will take you further in life. Leaders can be role models and mentors for others. All great leaders of the world are successful in one way or another. Leadership is in itself a quality of the successful individual.

Take some time to learn from wealthy successful individuals. Most, if not all, are happy with themselves and their abilities. So make yourself the leader of the pack, not the follower. Be a strong, capable, confident person. Work on your own terms, get things done and at the same time find ways to unite and influence others in positive ways.

Inspiration

An inspiring individual can make people look at themselves and say hey, its time for me to do something about myself too. Inspiring individuals make others believe and say I know it is possible. With the ability to inspire others, you can give people hopes and dreams, and the courage to make it come true. Individuals with great goals and aspirations for more in their life can feel confident in themselves by finding inspirations from a successful source such as yourself.

You can inspire others and at the same time find your own source of inspiration.

Motivation

Having great motivational skills can make you a person of value and worth. You will be acknowledged and respected because you are able to lift people's spirits when they feel down and low. When people are unable to get themselves started on a new project, or is struggling in their work and goals, your ability to motivate others will make you invaluable.

Persuasion

The ability to persuade others is a slightly difficult concept to master but an extremely beneficial skill to have. Persuasive people can get anything they want in life. If you can persuade someone to giving you what you need, no other skills will ever be needed. However, you must practice persuasion ethically and use it to promote goodness in yourself and others. Persuasion grants power. Persuasive people are usually very successful individuals and the leaders of society.



Train yourself in these five things and you will surely come out happy and successful.
