How Can I Get Success in Life?

By Sharon S. Fast


First things first. What is YOUR definition of "success"? What determines whether or not someone is successful in your eyes? For some people it is having a lot of money, for others it may be having the time freedom to play golf once a week, and for others it may be raising their children to be "good people" or having a large group of close friends. For every one of us, there is a different definition of what success is for others, and what success is for ourselves in our own lives. The more important of the two is how we measure success for ourselves, not for others. In order to have success in our own lives we must first define, within ourselves, what it IS to be successful and then set our hearts and minds on achieving it. The basic foundation to attaining success is setting goals and when you achieve those goals, you have success.

How Can I Get Success in Life? To begin the journey toward achieving a life filled with success, consider the following strategies: Adopt a Positive Mindset - Too many of our daily thoughts are negative and self-defeating. While you can never truly remove all negative thoughts from your mindset, you can begin to consciously focus on positive thoughts versus negative. Work to become aware of your thoughts and when you come across a negative one, shift your thinking to something positive. In time, this conscious behavior will result in positive subconscious changes.Assume Responsibility - Avoid placing blame on others or circumstances for your position in life. Accept responsibility for your actions. What we attract into our lives is a direct result of our mindset, our thoughts and our beliefs. Choose to think positive thoughts versus negative ones; shift your mindset to one of abundance and opportunity rather than failure and lack of opportunity and begin believing that you deserve as much success as the next person.

There is no substitute for diligence. You can attend multitudes of conferences and listen to all the subject matter experts you want to, but if you persist to be lazy, you don't have what it takes to become a success in life (sorry about being so brutally honest). You may be a person of faith and you can pray to God for success all night long, but if you have lazy hands, you are destined for failure.

If you want to succeed in life you definitely have to get rid of that shilly-shally. What you can do today, do not leave it for tomorrow. You will find a lot of obstacles that you would come across while you search for true success, but once you get a hold of it, you definitely would not let go of it.Here are some key points for you to look into when looking forward to succeed in life.Leave the past behind and be ready with the near future. You have nothing to lose when you do this, some are really afraid of leaving their past experiences, to succeed, you need to forget the past and live for the future. Unless you do that, you cannot proceed to the other steps.Set your goals on what you want to get accomplished. It's not that easy to pull yourself up when you feel that everything has gone bad in your life. However, you can start all over by creating new goals, and make it to the point that these goals can be achievable by you.

Follow your dreams and build your foundations. You have dreams and these dreams are significant of what you want to accomplish in the near future. If you already have set up your goals, then you can definitely picture what your future is, now you need to build foundations, and these foundations should be strong enough to keep you going with no hesitations.Get out from your comfort zone. Those who aim to achieve the best of what they can be, should get out from their comfort zone. Whereas, to succeed in life you need to improve and grow, you would not be able to do this while you are in that crib. Get my point?

Some people are amazingly nave about life. They seem to think that success in life is happenstance. But this is an extremely competitive world in which we live. Even finding your so-called dream job these days is much harder than it used to be. Regardless of your aspirations, however, you can become a success in life. It's called being diligent: doing what's required to gain the competitive edge; never giving up; refusing to accept defeat; living a life of integrity.
