Everyone wants to succeed in life.
If it is a
commodity, it will be the bestselling product ever! Oh yeah? In fact, it is
this urge within all of us to succeed that propels us to move ahead in life. It
is a life pushing force.
When success seems to come easy to some people, it is a
lifelong struggle for some people. There
may be many factors into play. However, many successes in life come from having
a definite life’s purpose; having the knowledge of one’s profession and; a
never-die attitude. For example, a successful businessman is because he knows his
calling and is good at it. A successful singer is because he loves to sing and
knows how to sing well. A successful salesman is because that is what he chose
to do and knows the art of selling. A successful speaker is someone whose
passion is speaking and has mastered the art of speaking etc.
Here are 3 steps
that can help you succeed in life:
1. Choose a
profession: The first step towards success in life is discovering and
choosing your calling in life. Decide what you want to be. Make it your
profession. You may have many talents. But in order to succeed and go far in
life, you must choose one. It’s like choosing a wife from among the many
beautiful girlfriends you have. You have to choose one, only then you can
marry. If you keep flirting, you will never get married and settle. It’s the
same thing with your career. Choose one and keep the rest as hobbies.
2. Set goals: Once
you decide what you want to be in life, you have to set goals. Goals are things
you want to accomplish in life. Life is a journey. Choosing your profession is
the beginning of the journey. Suppose you are going to another city. On the way
you cross milestones. Goals are like milestones. You have to reach and cross
these milestones in your journey of success. If you don’t cross the milestones,
you will never reach your destinations. It’s an indication that you are on the
move towards your objective. Hence, you have to set goals. Otherwise you will
be stagnant. In fact, if you don’t have any goals, you are not going anywhere. You
are doomed to fail.
3. Overcome
obstacles: Successful people are those who overcome obstacles. You know
life is not a bed of roses. There will be ups and downs. No one has promised you
that life will be a smooth path. There will be many setbacks. You have to be
prepared to face them. If you fail, you have to stand up and fight. You have
heard many times that ‘failure is the pillar of success.’ It is true. Keep going.
Victory belongs to those who never give up. You must persist till the end. There
is immense power in persistence. It breaks every barriers and walls. Just keep
knocking and pushing. Ultimately life will open up and you will be received to
the next level called ‘success.’
