What is the secret of SUCCESS????
You really looking for a secret or a magic for success. You can find it and even get it but as you think it can't be in well guarded, password-protected, high security private vault. You can find it inside you. Yes, I am not joking. It's already inside in the form of strong vision, determination, perseverance and courage. You just have to trigger those to enjoy the magic of success.
Before going towards the magic, let's know what really success is. Most people consider success as having a great career, wealth, and respect from peers. But, don’t overlook goals that will support a happier life. Prioritizing relationships, physical health, safety, contributing to others, and creative expression have been shown to improve feelings of happiness. However, don’t confuse the feeling of happiness with success. You could be quite happy eating your favourite food while watching your favourite show. That doesn't make you successful.
It was very well described by Eleanor Roosevelt that “Happiness is not a goal, it's a by product of life well- lived".
Success means attaining or achieving your vision of good life. It means achieving the future what you have planned for yourself. Success in life defined by individual. Your vision of success is different from others. It’s also important to take care that you don’t let someone else dictate what a successful life for you looks like. You only have so much time in life, so make sure you create a holistic picture for yourself.
Now you know what success really is and it is different for everyone. But surprisingly its magic or secret is same for everyone. Let's just see some of them :
1. MAKE A PLAN
To succeed means to accomplish a goal. In simple words, You will never gonna succeed if you never make a plan or set a goal or aim for your future.
2. BE READY TO FACE FAILURE
Many of the best plan can be destroyed by single mistakes. So always be prepared to fail, as a result, you can never gets demotivated and you won't face problems restarting.
3. GIVE TIME TO YOUR GOAL
As you create your systems and put your good habits into practice, you’ll probably find there isn’t enough time in each day to work towards every goal. Manage your time wisely, so that the right activities take priority.
4. TURN YOUR GOAL INTO ACTION
Repeated action in a right direction become helpful habit. It will help your system to stay on the track.
Work towards your goal one by one and start shaping your thoughts into actions with every single and small step.
5. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
Yes it's certain that you gonna make so many mistakes and fails many times. That doesn't means you not gonna be successful. Failure is a very important part of process of becoming successful only if you make it your teacher. Learning from your failures and correcting it makes very useful.
“I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed."
- Michael Jordan
6. TRY ANOTHER WAY
The road to success isn't straight. It has so many turns, stops and bumps. Anyway, there's more than one way of doing everything. So do success is. You can find your own road of success. The only way to find it is to keep changing and keep trying until you find one that works.
I hope that will be your measuring stick as well. To achieve success, you’ve got to have a strong vision, and the perseverance and determination to overcome the obstacles that will come your way, permeated with integrity. Adding to that, give back to your community, make a difference and you’ll be successful indeed!. I believe true success includes making a difference in the world. The most powerful difference you can make is the difference you make in the life of others. Otherwise, all your success dies with you. As Roy T Bennett put it:
“Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world."
SUCCESS IS NO ACCIDENT. IT IS HARD WORK, PERSEVERANCE, LEARNING, STUDYING, SACRIFICE, AND MOST OF ALL, LOVE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR LEARNING TO DO.
