What
Is Success?
Success
is about getting all that you wanted to have. It's finding that you have
achieved your goals or fulfilled your plans and it's waking up in the morning
feeling victorious rather than feeling defeated.
The
feelings success brings will make you walk proudly in the streets with your
head up high while being happy and satisfied.
How
to Be Successful in Life
Contrary
to common beliefs, there are no successful or unsuccessful people but instead
there are people who have the potential to succeed and who do things that helps
them realize this potential and there are people with the same potential who
don’t do those things.
The
only thing you need to do to succeed is to do exactly what successful people
did. When you go through all of the information below you will acquire the
mentality of a successful person and this will help you reach success.
What
Makes Me Unsuccessful?
If
you really want to be successful then you should have a solid understanding of
certain concepts that can limit your potential and that can make you
unsuccessful.
Successful
people avoid these harmful concepts and so should you:
- False Beliefs:
False beliefs are incorrect ideas you hold about something or about
yourself. An example of a false belief could be “I can never find a job in
such a country” . False beliefs act as limiters to your true potential and
so to your success. Getting rid of false beliefs and knowing more about
them is the most important task that you should do if you are serious
about success. False beliefs can not only limit your success potential but
they can even ruin your life. Some people stay broken for years after a
breakup just because they have some false beliefs about love that they
acquired from the media. In a book how to get over anyone in a few days we
get to know how getting rid of false beliefs such as "the one"
and "the soul mate" can help you recover in few days. This
happens because the mind refuses to recover if it believed that it will
never find a replacement for the person you broke up with.
- External Locus of Control: This is the way of thinking that makes a person
assume that everything that happens to him is the result of external
factors. For example: saying that an exam was too hard when you don't do
well or claiming that high unemployment rate is the reason you can't find
a job are examples of external locus of control. The flip side to that way
of thinking is Internal Locus of Control which is the way of thinking that
makes you believe that you are in charge and in control of everything that
happens to you. None of the successful people have an external locus of
control so if you are serious about success you should learn how to change
your way of thinking from being based on external locus of control to
being based on internal locus of control.
- Lack of Persistence:
What is good about having many qualities and skills if you lost hope in
succeeding after failing once or twice? The only people who succeed in
life are the persistent ones. Those who continue working right to the end
until they get what they want even if everything was against them and even
if they failed many times. If you want to be successful then read the guide
to persistence to learn how to stand up again even if you failed hundreds
of times.
- Lack of Flexibility:
Flexibility is the ability to adapt to external conditions. It's the
ability to try something else or another method when your current method
fails. The more flexible you are, the more you will adapt to changes and
the higher your chances of success will be. Read (this guide) to learn how
to be flexible and how to change your methods when they don't work.
- Lack of Planning:
If you don’t have goals or plans then you are going to be a part of other
people's plans. If you don’t plan to be the team leader at your work then
someone else in your team will do so and if you don't plan to get that
high paying job then someone else who planned and worked for it will take
it from you. If you don’t plan you will get swept away by the people who
do. They will fill the positions, make the money and get the fame while
you'll just be a spectator. Planning is an essential item in the success
toolkit. Read this (guide) to learn everything about planning and goal
setting.
- Lack of Self-confidence: If you don't have a high self-confidence then most
probably you will be too shy of presenting your ideas and you may give up
your dreams as soon as someone tells you that they are not possible. You
may fear taking any risks and so ignore many opportunities
that could have made you successful. If you want to increase your chances
of being a successful person, then you must build your self-confidence.
You can build it from scratch using the ultimate guide for building self confidence.
- Thinking that you lack resources: In the book how
I did it we get to know how this guy managed to make a website that
generates thousands of dollars/month in less than 2 years with an initial
investment that is less than 50 dollars!! Don't fool yourself by thinking
that you lack resources because if you are serious about success you will
do it without having any resources. This website is one of the examples of
successful businesses that required no resources at the start up.
- Success related Fears: The types of fears that can affect your ability to
succeed are the fear of failure and the fear of success. While they both
seem to be complete opposites still they can have the same effect on you
which is preventing you from trying and so leading you to failure.
The
Road to Success
If
you have already been through the previous guides and have prepared your
toolkit then it's time to know how the road to success looks like so that you don't find unexpected surprises.
The
road to success will probably be full of rejection, pain, hard work, disappointment as well as many other
discouraging things but when you reach its end you will feel really happy and
victorious.
You
will feel proud of yourself for overcoming all of these obstacles and for
reaching your goals in spite of the many things that stood in your way. You
will be tremendously happy and satisfied and you will experience the feelings
described at the beginning of this article. In short, you will receive the
reward of being successful.
