Paving Your Way To Success

We all want to be successful, and we are all potential winners. Yes, right? But why are successful people in the minority pool? That's because most of us don't have clarity to guide us towards personal success.

You want success, but do you understand why and how you want it? What does success mean in your eyes? How will success, as you define it, benefit you and those around you? Only when you get into the details, will the path towards success become clearer.

Success is the end result, the one big goal, but before we can reach it, we need to break that one big goal down into smaller, closer and realistic milestones and plans that will help us achieve those goals. What are manageable tasks you can do each day that will bring you closer to your success? Write up a daily checklist. Checking off your to-do list gives you a sense of achievement and keeps you motivated and driven. Don't be downtrodden if you fail to achieve a goal. As someone once said, "It's not a tragedy not to achieve a goal; it's a tragedy not to have that goal to achieve in the first place."

Before you can realize your success goal, you need to have the belief and manifest it that you deserve to have what you are going for! Whether it's monetary or otherwise - you manifest to have it. And understand the reasons for those goals; knowing why your goals exist makes you want them even more, you'll need this desire.

Next you need execute your plan of action. Detail exactly how your objectives will be met. And reward yourself when you achieve a certain goal. This will motivate you towards your next goal. If star footballers weren't paid obscene amounts of money for the goals they score, they'd find it that much challenging to perform in the next match.

Keep re-assessing and re-evaluating your goals. Just because your objective is valid presently doesn't equate it will remain relevant tomorrow. Assess your circumstances and adjust accordingly. You may even add new goals. Think of this as planting more seeds for greater chances of success.

And don't make the mistake of thinking that you should achieve success all by yourself. There are many resources you could use to keep yourself on the right track - you can read more self-improvement books, attend seminars, collaborate with a partner, or even get yourself a coach or a mentor. Whatever way you take, it is up to you. DO remember that as long you keep learning you will keep achieving. And even if your final goal isn't reached, the process of learning and achieving itself is a definition of success.
