What does it take to be successful?
Ask around and you will find different answers to the formula of success. The truth is success leaves clues, and you can achieve the success in the area you desire by observing the common qualities and principles. They are simple and considered to be common sense, but most people simply do not follow them.
Let me share with you one of my favorite quotes:
"Patience, Persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success."
Napolean Hill
As stated in that quote, there are a few key factors to achieve massive success in your life:
Patience
You don’t have to wait for everything to be perfect. Start with the first step and keep moving. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Prepare, keep working, and the results are the seeds we planted through the process. Set your sight to the destination that you want to achieve, then work and prepare for the moments of success. With patience we can step back and see that "means and ends must cohere because the end is preexistent in the means". You must be ready to receive the success you desire.
2. Persistent Hard Work
Success needs hard work. Again, it does not happen overnight. Have you ever heard the saying that "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"? You need to build your character and work hard on yourself or your business to achieve your greatness. By consistently working hard on developing your skills the more you become the person you'd like to become. Work hard and work smart. Do the right things and do them in the right way. Don’t procrastinate. Take bold actions. Work passionately and craft your legacy.
3. Learning from failure
Successful people do not see failures as failures. They see them as important learning lessons. Goals might not always be met when we hope they will, but in that time, it is a great opportunity to grow. Successful individuals take the mistakes and transform them into learning experiences. Lessons that are capable of giving insights to prevent such mistakes from happening again. By adopting this mindset of turning each failure into a learning lesson or opportunity, you can never fail until you yourself quit.
Now, these are all important to have on the journey to become successful in whatever it is you want to become successful in. We might even be able to list some other important qualities we need to have in order to become successful. But the number one quality we need is the power of the mind. The ability to have personal power. To have an idea and create it into a reality. Whether it is to become a better person, a better son, daughter, mother, father, worker... whatever it is you want to be successful in comes from the power within yourself. This is our own ability to follow through in the thought process and creating it into actions.
And...
The most important thing is that we all have it, but it comes from deciding.
Measure your own successes and have support within yourself. It is what we gain personally that can make us successful. Find a recipe that works for you but remember that the major key to your own success is you. And only you have the power to unlock it.
