5 Things You Can Do Right Now To Achieve Success: There is a lot of talk today about “the Secret” and this has led to a great discussion about success in general. Here are some success principles that I have found useful in my life. Hopefully they will be helpful to you too.
1) Never complain, or blame anything:
When you complain, you are making yourself into a victim. You are effectively saying that you are helpless and cannot do anything about the situation. You are also focusing on what is wrong with your life. Since “what you focus on expands”, you are actually attracting bad situations into your life because you are focusing on what you do not like. You are also convincing yourself that you are powerless to do anything about it. That is not a good situation to be in. When you blame someone or something for what has happened to you, you are again making yourself into a powerless victim. You give any control over your situation to the person or thing you are blaming. That is not a good place to be in either. You need to know that you can change your future and then take responsibility for your life.
2) Know who you are:
You probably think you already know who you are, but do you know what you really want to achieve in life. Most people do not know what they really want. I did not. Most people could not tell you all their strengths and weaknesses either. Life happens to people, and they are so busy coping with it that they never really sit down and ask themselves what they really want, and what personal resources they can utilize in order to get it. If you do not know what you want, it will be pretty difficult for you to achieve it. You must have a clear goal if you are to acheive anything. If you do not know where you are going, you probably will not arrive, and even if you do you will not know it.
3) Believe in yourself:
Fear is the single biggest thing that prevents people from being successful. People think that they will not be able to achieve success, or that if they do they will not be able to handle it. They give up before they even get started. We really are children of God, however, and we can achieve anything we want to. It is our fearful, doubting ego that gets in our way, and makes us see ourselves as “poor me”. It is our ego that reminds us of all the times in the past that we have failed, and exaggerates our failures it is our ego that forgets or trivializes all the times that we have succeeded. You need to start focusing on your strengths and all your past successes; and gain confidence from them. You need to talk back to your ego when it starts reminding you about how difficult success is and why you will fail.
4) Take action.
Many people decide on a goal, and then they research it and try to find out everything that could possibly happen if they start trying to achieve it. They spend so much time researching that by the time they are ready to do something the window of opportunity has already passed by. It is a much better plan to get as ready as you can in as short a time as possible, take action, and have faith that you can correct along the way when you need to. You need to just get started with whatever you’ve got from wherever you are.
5) Create successful relationships.
The first thing you want to do is to eliminate negative, complaining people from your life as much as possible. You want to spend your time around successful supportive people, so that you can learn from them, and also be motivated by them. Since you can not learn from someone you do not like, you need to practice admiring successful people instead of being jealous and resentful of them. You don’t want to bring them down to your level; instead you want to bring yourself up to their level. Try to create a way to get together with rich successful people and maybe become personal friends with them. As they say “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”.
If you take action to follow these five principles of success, you should be well on your way. Good luck.
