Everyone has their own definition of success. For some it is a high salary, for some others the opportunity to spend holidays with family in exotic locations, career advancement or sporting performance. Whatever your personal definition of success, there are always certain principles and universally valid truths about how it can be achieved. Here are four of them.
In their quest for success many people seek motivation. They constantly want to be energised, motivated, and goal-oriented. The truth is that no form of motivation lasts forever. Instead, you need to maintain discipline, keep going even when motivation is lacking, and be consistent in your efforts to achieve success.
According to Addicted2Success.com, a surprising number of people make the mistake of not defining their goal at all. As a result, they have no way of developing a realistic plan to achieve their goal, nor can they know whether or not they have actually achieved it. Thus, their efforts inevitably always come to nothing.
Even the best plan cannot be cast in stone. Circumstances change and even though your plan may be very elaborate and realistic, it often takes only minor changes, which you may not even necessarily be able to influence, to render the plan unrealistic. Therefore, you must accept you will have to change your plan as you go along. Do not be a total purist and do not despair if you have to adjust your strategy.
From time to time everyone doubts themselves. Should this not be the case, it is a sign of sociopathy or some other abnormal state of mind. If you are working hard to achieve your defined success, you are usually venturing into uncharted waters and beyond your comfort zone. So it is completely normal to feel doubt, which just shows you are really trying to get the best out of yourself. Embrace these doubts, don't let them get you down, but see them as a necessary part of the journey to success.
