There is immense pressure on us to be successful. Be it that it comes from society, family, friends, or from our own selves. We all want to be successful, we want to reach this distant success. Yet, what is success exactly? Did you ever stop to think what success means to you, because, apparently, it means different things to different people. So make sure you know where it is you are going, just so you get to the right place.
Define your idea of success Everyone has a different idea on the definition of success. You need to have your ideologies straightened out to plan your goals. Your idea of success is not a goal let's be clear. Your idea of success is your visualization of what it is that makes someone successful. For example, my idea of success is self growth and experience. I believe with these things, I can become the best person possible over time. With that said, I now plan out my goal.Obviously, there are two types of goals: Long and short term. Goals are a must. I think of them as checkpoints and once you complete them, they are behind you. You just keep looking forward.I believe this one to be the more important of the two for one reason: confidence/reassurance. The correct way to have a short term goal is to make it for a short time. I would say daily. I would write down a list of what you need to do that relates towards your long term goal. As the days, weeks, months go by, you will look back on that list and see day after day that items are crossed off your list. Nothing is stronger than visually seeing forward process by looking at your to do list being completed day after day.
Remember, it is really good for you to know what success is for you so you can begin to make it a reality for you right away, if you are going the wrong way, you may change direction, or you may just need to make some minor adjustment, or if you've already figured it out then you're already on your way. Being on the way to success is successful in itself.
Let me say this another way. No matter what the results you may find yourself experiencing of your attempted creations, know that it is all good. Why? Because it will teach you something about yourself and life that you will need when you get where it is you are attempting to go. Therefore, do not wait. Right now today, take a developmental step forward in a new direction in your life. From the outside, it may appear that you are doing the same things, but from within, something is different now. You are serving notice to your inner self that you are working on developing your life forward in the direction of the life of greatness you came here to have.If you care about yourself, and if you care about any loved ones in your life, then rise up to the challenge of what you came here to do. You did not come here to have a life that is average and ordinary. You came here to challenge yourself to grow beyond the ideas of yourself and the world around you to create a life of greatness (so that we all may benefit from that.)
This article here is not the place for me to elaborate deeply on the fact that our world is changing in profound ways. You are changing in profound ways. You only need to open your eyes and look around with the open-mindedness of a non-judgmental child to see the truth of this. All over the world, people are seeking out those who would "lead the way" by the very example of living their own life to the fullest expression possible. It really is that simple. The greatest thing you can do to help our world (I trust this is important to you) is for you to "face your fears" and grow your ideas of what you believe is possible for you.I do not know how to convince you that the life you are presently living is not all that you came here to be. What is it about you that is of interest to you right now in your life? What is it about your life right now that you would like to change? Pretend for a moment that you had the power to do anything you wanted to with your life, what would that be? The answer to that question is what you need to start on today by taking a first step (or continuing) in the direction of that picture.
If you are not sure how to get started or continue, I am sure you know how not to get started or continue. Use this if need be as a "tuning fork" as you move forward. No matter who you are, or what you choose to do, if it is from a space within you attempting to create your life of greatness, by way of growing yourself forward in this respect, know there is no greater life work with which to be involved.Trust yourself. Trust your creativity. Trust in your own direction. Trust that all you need will come to you, in one way or another. No one ever said adulthood was supposed to be easy and free of any challenges or difficulties. By the same token, no one ever said once you become an adult that you are finished "growing."If you wish to have a life of greatness, the choice is yours. If you will accept a life that is or will become average and ordinary, the choice is also yours. The world needs the greatness you have within you. En masse the world over, this is how we save the future of our world for our children, grandchildren, and beyond. Ask yourself, if this is too difficult for you to attempt in your life, what are you teaching the loved ones who surround you in your life?Do you teach them by the example of your life, how to create a life of greatness by always growing the best version of yourself possible? Or, on the other hand, do you teach them how to create a life that is average and ordinary because you live your life on "auto-pilot?"
