When we live in a state of gratitude, more blessings open up for us. I learned that lesson while climbing through 9,500 days in prison. During those 26 years, I maintained a high level of energy and discipline, largely because I appreciated the many blessings that had come my way.

Prior to learning about this concept of gratitude, a series of bad decisions drove my life. For that reason, I allowed others to influence me. Although I was a teenager when I began breaking the law, the bad decisions I made exposed me to severe challenges in the criminal justice system. Yet rather than blaming anyone or anything else for the predicament my decisions had created, I learned to think differently. And I'm grateful. Those new thoughts helped me feel stronger and helped to build my confidence. That made all the difference in the world. I learned to live in a state of gratitude​ and to be appreciative-even though I was in prison.

Success doesn't happen by accident and it rarely comes overnight. We're far more likely to succeed if we engineer the course of action. Take small, incremental action steps that can bring the outcome we want.

In today's Michael Santos Mindset podcast, I talk about celebrating achievements. I used this strategy to stay motivated. That motivation allowed me to climb through 9,500 days in prison with a high level of energy and discipline. The prison system and authority figures controlled many aspects of my life. Yet I could control how I would respond to that environment. I could engineer a pathway that would lead to the outcome I wanted: to return to society successfully, with opportunities to thrive.

Celebrating the small achievements helped me build confidence that I could take on larger achievements over time.

Think of the long-term goals and take incremental action steps that can help you grow!

Do you really know what it means to be deliberate? In what ways are you sowing seeds today for the success you're determined to become tomorrow?

This tactic of being aware is an essential component of the success mindset. I learned the importance of being aware, or keeping my head in the game, as I climbed through 9,500 days in prison. I knew that if I did not reach beyond the prison walls, the circumstances of my life would define my future. But I didn't want the prison to define me. I needed to tap into all of my critical thinking skills. Those skills would make me more aware of opportunities I could create or seize. That awareness tactic led me to publishing. I took the necessary steps to build credentials that would persuade publishers to bring my work to market. By publishing, I made the world aware of me.

If you're after a success mindset, use accountability metrics to take you to the next level and the next level after that.

With a success mindset, we look to where we want to be in the years and decades ahead. Without this tool, those visions seem distant. They're too far into the future. We can lose our way, much as we would lose our way if we were in the middle of the ocean and trying to make it to shore. One day we'd go in one direction, only to find that we're going in a different direction the next day. An accountability metric becomes our compass, keeping us going in the right direction at all times.

I relied on accountability metrics to ensure I made progress during each of the 9,500 days that I served in prison. When I concluded my term, I used accountability metrics to track progress toward the first $1 million in assets I wanted to build. Now I'm using metrics to reach $10 million in assets. Create an accountability to fuel your success!
