How To Achieve Success

They're are a lot of widely acceptable definitions of success and each one outrightly reflects how the author feels. Different people see success differently and most times each view is right in one way or the other.

Some people might see success as financial stability, that is being able to be financially buoyant. I think society mostly classifies the rich as successful. It isn't wrong to think that, because money is the other of the day in this world.

Others see success as being extremely good at something, way more than others. You can see the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as very successful in the path of footballing. They're rich no doubt, but this time it isn't about their riches, it is about the level they've attained doing what they love to do.

How do you define success?

For me I'll say the word success is a magical word and it has been able to shape many people. Success can be seen from my own point of view as being able to set goals and achieve them way beyond your imagination or anybody's imagination. It is being presented with opportunities and taking them firsthand without thinking twice.

Sometimes, you might not even be the one setting this goals for yourself, most times society sets this goals for you like in the part of educational pursuit. There is a set down standard, to become successful you have to attain the "A" or "B" grade and each time you attain them you're considered successful.

I also see success as going beyond the normal, reaching a certain level that isn't considered normal by others. People tend to see what they don't understand as irrelevant at first but then when it becomes widely accepted, the tag "success" gets given to it. Look at the Bitcoin for example, a lot of people tagged it as irrelevant and a crazy idea, but now that it has become widely acceptable and life-changing, it is now tagged a big success and a great addition to mankind.

Success, comes easy for some people and sometimes way too hard for others. It all depends on you, you define your success. Your mind is a very powerful tool when it comes to achieving success. All the most successful people today would tell you that they never gave up no matter the challenges they faced.

Some of them were thrown with a lot of challenges, and they still decided to hold on to the end. Feeding your mind can never be overemphasized on the road to success. Some of the most successful people today craved knowledge and chased after it. There's no end to learning, it is an everyday thing.

What you do with the tools you have available also defines how successful you'll be. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born with the necessary tools to succeed, they fight for it and when they finally get this tools they make the most use of it.

I cannot talk about success without mentioning financial breakthrough. I can remember my parents always telling me to work towards being successful in life no matter what. I'm sure they were looking towards the financial area because they thought that they would have done a lot better if they were well to do and financially okay.

Do I Feel Successful In My Life?

I'll say yes and no. So far so good they're a lot of things I hope to achieve that I haven't yet.
They're others I didn't hope to achieve but I ended up doing rather early. Even if a lot of people wouldn't consider them successes, for me I'll tag them that.

But do I really feel successful? Not entirely. I still have a long way to go in reaching my peak, I know I have a lot of potential, way more than I have utilized and certainly way more than a lot of people know. I'm on a journey of self discovery and enlightenment, and one thing I know about myself is that I enjoy acquiring knowledge. I'm currently working towards acquiring as many as I can from people that have climbed up the ladder a lot earlier.

I'm glad I made it to hive, because it has created a pathway for my financial breakthrough. I am now diving into the world of cryptocurrency and I'm aiming towards the part of wealth creation even if I discovered it a little late I feel that there's actually a time for everything. No time is too late, and the fact that a lot of people are already succeeding should be a driving force for me to work harder and get more inspired.

Still, it'll take a while for me to consider my Successful. That state of financial stability and wealth creation needs to be attained. One thing about setting goals is that achieving them paves the way for higher ones, so I'm hoping to achieve the already set ones so I'll climb up the step towards my bigger dreams. I hope to get there someday by God's grace.

What should people do to be successful?

I think I've mentioned already some of the things that we need to take into notice in order to become successful in our endeavors. But I'll say everyone has their own way in getting things down.

For me, I think before anyone can be successful, he/she has to embark on a journey of self discovery. This is very important because you have to know yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses. How do you expect to become successful if you've not discovered what you're good at or if you don't know yourself. This for me comes first before embarking on your success journey.

Then, chase after knowledge!!. Anyone who craves after acquiring knew knowledge would thrive in every way. Read books that talk about your interested fields, find mentors and learn from them, listen to others with rapt attention, take notes when necessary and try to implement what you have learnt. Our mind is a powerful tool and it follows the "garbage in" "garbage out" procedure. Whatever you put in, comes out in ways you'll never expect. So it's adviceable to feed your mind and also be very positive about anything we do. Whenever you believe that you can achieve something your body and mind then becomes hyped and they both strive towards achieving that thing. Like @kawsar8035 said in his post here

If we keep a positive attitude in any of our work as well as think in our minds as we can and this work can be done by us. Then it is possible for us to snatch success in that work. Nothing is impossible. Because we fail at that. That is why someone else is succeeding. Just because of our mental weakness we lose a lot of time before we work. We all know how powerful a positive idea is in a job or how strong this idea is! Either way it is the most important thing to snatch our success.

I think I cannot over emphasize this point, create good relationships. This is one of the best ways to climb up the ladder. There's no way one person can reach wherever he wants to reach on his own. He gets there with the help of other people. Relationships are social ladders that lift you up in ways you'll never expect. They provide recommendations, support, strengths that help you in your journey to success. If you've been going about your life looking to achieve success and you've not tried to create good productive relationships with other people then you're going to find it a lot harder to succeed.

Lastly, always ensure to make proper use of the opportunities you get. It takes a lot of discipline and drive to be successful and also making sure no opportunity passes you by. Every chance you get at achieving your goal should be implemented as efficiently as possible, there's no room for being lazy or comparing yourself to others. Do your own thing, be original, be goal driven and always try to have fun. You'll see how fast you'll climb up the ladder.
