Being successful in your goals and dreams is always not an easy task. I have came to realize it on my way pursuing what I wanted in the long term. You need to have the following feelings:
Faith
Perseverance
Belief
Never Give Up Spirit
Patience
It not easy to have all the above mentioned. There are too many things in life where it will beat you to the ground permanently, if you let it. One thing I want to let you know is, the bigger the obstacles, the greater the sense of achievement. Imagine you are just a seed planted in the soil. You try your very best to grow and break through the soil, you kept trying and trying and just about when you are about to break through, you give up and in that instant, everything is over. Once you give up, everything is over, there isn’t a need to say anything at all.
If you are trying your best in doing something and you fail, change your strategy and try again. A matter of fact, many people tried something and failed and keep using the same strategy. You can’t expect a different result using the same strategy over and over again, something needs to be changed. Being successful or not, only depends on the 6 inches in between your ears, that’s all it is. We all have the same mind, same body, same soul but the difference is the software running in the mind that makes the difference.
In your road to success, you need to humble and keep learning. A cup that is already full, no more water can be pour into it, you need to empty it before new knowledge can flow in, always remember that. Lastly, I would like to share with you a small paragraph of what Steve Jobs had shared in 2005 at Standford Commencement Address.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
To date, I am not sure how many friends came to me and complaint to me about their working life at their work place, about their bosses, about their colleges, about their life how bad it is right now. Immediately, I asked them just one question :”So what are you going to do to fix that problem at your work?” About half of them continue to complaint to me further without providing any solutions, the other half have simply no idea how to fix or break the vicious cycle. Many time over, most of the people on planet earth wanted a lot of things that they wanted but to get there, they need to put in more hard work and effort, most of the them either didn’t ever start or give up half way.
It is because of that, I realised that being successful is not easy, it’s really not an easy task. Working adults like us for sure knows how tired are we after our work and went home, have a good shower and dinner, spend time with our family and went to sleep. The very next day, things repeat itself. In order to be successful, one have to work harder than that, planning and taking actions creating a side income for themselves instead of just rumbling, complaining about life. Some of the more motivated ones, will tell me, ok they will not give up, they will do this and that, they are fired up and ready to work harder but the moment they go back to their work, things fall back into where it is just like nothing had changed at all. This is life and to be frank, it is the fact of life to be exact. Now then I realised that successful and rich people deserved where they are right now, what they had achieved, what is the lifestyle they are having now just because of the fact that they had already put in the effort many and most of the people can’t do or do not have the will power to keep going. Right here, right now, you really need to ask yourself one question, just one :”How determined you are to want to achieve successful in your life.?”
“Do what the most can’t do now and you will achieve and enjoy what most can’t have later”
