What is success in life?

What is success to you?

What is success & happiness?

I want to give you the real meaning of success here.

These are the common questions people ask around. I want you to get all of the answers here. In addition to that, I wish to add some spiritual inspiration as you know spirituality & success go hand in hand. I want to emphasize the spiritual way to success. Actually, that is the best way to succeed & I want you to unfold all these secrets of success in life.

Success:

You need to keep your mind on what you want & not on what you don't want

Success is not an accident. It is the result of your attitude and your attitude is a choice. Hence success is a matter of choice and not a chance.

Most crackpots keep waiting for a Jackpot. But that strategy rarely brings success. The common man seeks security whereas the uncommon man seeks an opportunity.

Why does one person move forward with one success story after another while others are still getting ready?

Why does one man go through Life crossing one hurdle after another and accomplish his goals while another struggle and get nowhere?.

If the answer to these questions becomes part of the way you learn, it would revolutionize your life.

A lot of research has been done on the subject of success and failure. The Secret of Success can be learned from the life histories of successful people. Successful people have certain qualities in common. No matter which period of history they live in and no matter what their field of business.

Success leaves clues. If we identify and adopt the qualities of successful people we too shall be successful. Similarly, there are characteristics common to people who aren’t successful. If we avoid those characteristics, then we shall not be a failure. Success is no mystery. It is simply the result of consistently applying some basic principles. The reverse is just as true: failure is simply a result of making a few mistakes repeatedly. This might sound too simplistic but the fact is that most truths are very simple. I am not saying they are easy but they are simple.

How do we define success?:

What makes a person successful? How do we recognize success?

To some people, success might be mean wealth, to others, it is reorganization, good health, a good family, happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind. What this really tells us is that success is subjective. Success means different things to different people. The definition that I feel best summarizes this- “success” is the progressive realization of a worthy goal.

Some obstacles to success:

Ego
Fear of failure
lack of self-esteem
No plan
Lack of formalized goal
Life changes
Procrastination
Family responsibility
Financial security issues
Lack of focus, being muddled
Giving up a vision for promising money
Doing too much alone
Over-commitment
Lack of commitment
Lack of training
Lack of persistence
Lack of priority

The winning edge:

In order to get the winning edge, we need to strive for excellence, and not perfection. Striving for perfection is neurotic. Striving for Excellence is progress because there is nothing that can't be improved. All that we need is a little edge. The winning horse in the race may win with 5 to1 or 10 to1 odds. It doesn’t mean that he is 10times faster than the other horses. He may only be faster by a fraction. But the reward is 10 times greater. It is not fair but doesn't matter. Those are the rules of the game. The same is true in our life. Successful people are not 10 times smarter than the people who fail. They may be fractionally better but the rewards are much bigger. We don't need to improve 100% in any one area. But we need to improve 1% in hundred different areas and that is much easier.

Struggle:

History has demonstrated that the most notable winner usually encounter heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.

Apply this same principle to our life. Nothing worthwhile in life comes without a struggle.

Overcoming obstacles:

People who have overcome obstacles are more secure than those who have never faced them. Sometimes we feel discouraged due to problems. Everyone faces disappointment but winners don't get depressed. Most people give up just when they are about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game. Just a step away from a winning post.

How do we measure success?

True success is measured by the feeling of knowing we have done a job well and have achieved our objectives. Success is not measured by our position in life but by the obstacle we overcome to get there. Success in life is not determined by how we are doing compared with other’s work but by how we are doing compared with what we are capable of doing. Successful people compete against themselves. They improve their own record & keep improving constantly. Success is not measured by how high we go up in life but rather by how many times we bounce back when we fall down. It is this bounce-back ability that determines success.

Success is also a story of great failure:

Failure is the highway to success. It is said that if you want to succeed, double your failure rate. If we study history we will find that all stories of success are also stories of great failures. But people don't see the failure. They only see the end result and they think that person got lucky. They will think that he must have been at the right place at the right time.

Setbacks are inevitable. Setbacks can act as a driving force and can also teach us humility. In grief, you will find courage and faith to overcome the setback. Learn to become victors and not become victims. Fear and doubt short-circuit the mind.

Ask yourself after every setback what did I learn from this experience? Only then you will be able to turn a stumbling block into a stepping stone

The greatest gift:

Of all the creatures in the world, humans are physically the most un-equipped. Nature’s greatest gift to humans is the ability to think. A human can create their own environment but animals adapt to their environment. Sadly very few people use this greatest gift - The ability to think to his full potential. Failures are of two kinds. Those who did and never thought and those who thought and never did. Going through life without using your ability to think is like shooting without aiming.

Qualities that make a person successful:

Desire
Commitment
Responsibility
Hard work
Value
Character
Positive behavior & Positive believing
Give more than you get
The power of persistence
Pride of performance
Be willing to be a student - Get a mentor

Do you have what it takes to be successful?:

Do all of us have the qualities for success? Some people feel they don't. They stay average. and fail. But it doesn't have to be that way. All of us have ten qualities mentioned above. The quality may not be developed to the level that you want them to be. But they are there. We may not know that they are there. But when we find out, our performance will change.

This is like having a billion-dollar laid in your backyard and you are not knowing about it. You wouldn't be able to use it but the moment you find out about it your thinking and behavior will change. We all have hidden treasures. All we need to do is to bring them to the surface and use them.
