There is immense pressure on us to be successful. Be it that it comes from society, family, friends, or from our own selves. We all want to be successful, we want to reach this distant success. Yet, what is success exactly? Did you ever stop to think what success means to you, because, apparently, it means different things to different people. So make sure you know where it is you are going, just so you get to the right place.
Personal responsibility and personal accountability is a very frightening concept to many individuals. However, if you want to have a life of greatness (however, you may define that for yourself) you will have to create it through taking personal responsibility and personal accountability for your life. There is no other way.Many individuals go through their entire lives by living only a "half-life." What I am meaning by this is that they are afraid to grow the ideas they have in their heads about who and what they perceive and interpret themselves to be. To be very clear here, growing one's ideas of one's self and the world around them will indeed result in life changes. It is your choice. You can create the changes you then choose to respond to, or you will be forced to deal with the changes life imposes upon you. It all depends upon your "life focus."In a manner of speaking, there are two types of individuals on the planet at this time. There are those who accept average and ordinary lives, and then there are those who create lives of greatness. Each type of individual will be absolutely convinced of the reality of their life's expression. To say it another way, in all areas of their life, they will know that what they have, and what they can have is what they are realistically capable of. Therefore, the real question becomes what does "realistically capable of" mean?
Long term goals when added up, together, get you where you believe is your idea of success. Short term = long term= success. One builds off the other. Your long term goals can be looked at as a gathering or grouping of successful short term goals. For example, if I feel successful by getting married (which I don't), my long term goal would be to meet a woman. How do I do that? Through short term goals. My short term goals would be: work on myself, work on my interactions with women, maybe talk to 5 women a day, go out more often, go on dates, and so on. If I do that time after time, hopefully, I would reach my long term goal and get a girlfriend. Now when that Long term goal is completed, it's time to make another long goal which would be to get past the first year mark. So now you write down small daily goals that get you there. You keep doing this process over and over until you reach what you believe is successful. It's honestly a fail-proof formula if you stick with it.
Lifestyle If you want to be successful, you have to live the lifestyle of success. What do I mean by that? Well, to be a writer, I would live the life of a writer. I would read, write, write, write, read, go to conferences, talk to other writers, attend classes, write, and read. You get the picture. Every aspect of your life should be around your goals. A writer once told me "I work full time to support my writing." I respected her for saying that. She made good money but her life and passion was to write. So she literally just worked so she could live day to day writing.You want to surround yourself with people that have the same goals as you. It's good for a competitive drive, inside information, inspiration, and positivity. For me, I feel like I already met my goals when I have the people around me that have the same goals. I feel like a team. As a writer, surrounding yourself with other writers makes you feel accomplished and accepted as if I was a writer all along.Success is a mental game. You have to mentally endure the journey ahead and realize it's never easy obtaining greatness. You have to have that "no excuse" attitude and make things happen. Stop wishing and start doing. You should be positive. Success is more than having materials. A good mindset and some gratitude is a common trait among successful people. You will be amazed on what it can do for you.
This article here is not the place for me to elaborate deeply on the fact that our world is changing in profound ways. You are changing in profound ways. You only need to open your eyes and look around with the open-mindedness of a non-judgmental child to see the truth of this. All over the world, people are seeking out those who would "lead the way" by the very example of living their own life to the fullest expression possible. It really is that simple. The greatest thing you can do to help our world (I trust this is important to you) is for you to "face your fears" and grow your ideas of what you believe is possible for you.I do not know how to convince you that the life you are presently living is not all that you came here to be. What is it about you that is of interest to you right now in your life? What is it about your life right now that you would like to change? Pretend for a moment that you had the power to do anything you wanted to with your life, what would that be? The answer to that question is what you need to start on today by taking a first step (or continuing) in the direction of that picture.
Of course, there are more techniques and tools you can use to make your journey simpler, techniques that pertain to the mind. If you lack focus, have trouble with procrastination, lack motivation or get bored easily, there are solutions for such issues.
