How to be successful?
Hey there!!! 👋
Welcome back to your favourite spot “Wisdom Unchained”
The amazing thing about the process I am going to talk about is that it can be applied to any field you want to be successful in, whether it is personal or professional, academic or relationship. It's just that you take care of these factors and guarantee a successful life for yourself. These steps or factors for guaranteed success are based on many observations, researches and experiments. I have gathered all those and synthesized them into these 4 simple to understand points.
Aim
We all want to be successful, right! But do we actually know what will make us feel successful?
Well, here is thus the first step to be successful. SET YOUR AIM.
You actually cannot reach a place until you know it. Similarly, to be successful you need to set a clear goal. You need to set an aim right at the beginning of your success journey. This will be the clear objective that you need to achieve. However, merely setting an aim or goal is not enough. You need to have clarity with regards to your goal because until and unless you see your destination clearly, you won't be able to reach there. So, whether it is a career goal of getting promoted within 2 years or an aim of reducing extra pounds of weight in the next 2 months or to get it all fixed up in your relationship with your partner or family, you firstly clearly need to identify what exactly you want. You need to have clarity with regards to where you want to be in the coming future and what time duration you have for it.
Know your Potential
Once you know what you have to achieve, you need to identify what are the required skills, capabilities, qualifications or talents that you should possess. Every task that has to be achieved requires some specific skills and only that person tastes victory or success who can utilize these skills better than others do.
So, before you begin to put in your efforts, you have to identify your capabilities, you have to know what your potential is. Obviously, you can not enter a battlefield without preparation and you can not prepare without knowing what you have actually got. Hence, you need to first identify the capabilities that are needed for achieving your set goal that will make you successful, and then you need to identify your present capabilities. However, be cautious at this stage because lack of capabilities may demotivate you if you misunderstand them as limitations but they are actually your opportunities for improvement. This will serve as a base for your self improvement.
Build up
By this time you are in a position that you know what you have to achieve to be successful along with the set of capabilities that are needed and how much you need to gain. So, the next step is to build up yourself to get on the edge.
There is a very popular saying “Survival of the fittest” which means that in this competitive and challenging environment you have to be the best to beat the rest. Similarly, to achieve your goal and be successful you have to gain all those capabilities which you lack in. You have to build yourself in a way that nobody can stop you from reaching your goal and tasting the fruit of success. You need to clearly list those capabilities, skills, talent or may be certifications which you will need to achieve your targets. These will act like your weapons to conquer the war to be successful. Just like you can not think of jumping to the battleground without properly equipped weapons, you cannot start your success journey without proper acquisition of capabilities needed to accomplish the tasks.
Motive/Drive
Finally the component that binds all other components at place with each other as well as with you too. You need motivation or say inner drive towards your goal to synchronize your capabilities and produce desired outcomes. There should be a particular motivation behind your aim which will continuously keep pushing you to work harder with consistency. It is a very common phenomenon which we can observe in our daily life also. When we perform any activity without motivation, we do not put in our actual efforts. However, a motivated person is believed to put in extended efforts that gives guaranteed success. So, you need to base your aims or goals or targets on some motivation that will keep you going towards the destination. Well, these factors combinely can be applied by any person at any stage of life for getting success in any domain.
So, I hope you will be in a better position now to be successful in life.
Have a great day!!!
