You need a FOS |
Dear loving people,
I have observed the lives of successful people
for a long time now, is it about Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Bill
Clinton, Bill Gates, Barack OBAMA, and you name them. They all have a few
things in common. Reading through their stories, I kept wondering what makes
them so different from others; I have tried to observe some of the winning
habits that they have in common. Guess what, all of these four, are latent in
you and you only need to develop them:
1. They all have a goal at
the center of their existence
I
keep wondering how empty you can feel if you have no aim in life. In fact, you
are lost if you do not have a particular destination to move towards. All the successful
people I have observed have an objective, an end, a goal in mind. They know
what they want out of this life and they commit themselves beyond imagination to
achieve it. Guess what, they got it.
When you have a supreme goal in life, you have
something to focus on. If you do not have a goal, you will be missing the
target and lost in pathless woods. Having a definite objective to focus on, will
guide you towards your final destination.
But, having a goal is not all that it takes. The
journey towards your goal will be on a lengthy road paved with obstacles and so
you need self-motivation. Most people, who started such a journey, gave up half
way because they lacked self-motivation. Those who are highly motivated, have
higher chances to break through those obstacles each time with revitalized energy.
You
did basic mathematics not so? Here we go, always remember that Goal + Self-Motivation / Obstacles = SUCCESS.
This
means that when you add your goal to your self-motivation and it is strong
enough to overcome the obstacles you will certainly face, then you can be
assured of success. The likelihood of giving up is drastically higher if your
desire for success is not strong enough.
2. They have a Fulcrum Of
Success (FOS)
Your
FOS could be made up of your family, friends, mentors, colleagues, or anyone
who supports you and wants to see you succeed. It is easy to give up when you
are alone on this journey. Form a FOS to help you along the way. Napoleon Hill
calls it the Master Mind Group.
To form your FOS, select like-minded people who
want to achieve similar goals. You need to choose your members carefully.
Choose members who are positive, goal oriented and are pursuing similar goals
to yours.
3. Their time is everything
Time
is one of our most precious resources. You can waste your money and still
manage to earn it back but there isn’t any way for you to get back your time if
you waste it away.
You have to be aware of how you spent your time.
If you want to achieve your goals but you are spending 60% of your time
watching TV and hanging-out (I learned this word the hard way) with friends,
most likely you will miss-out on your goal.
Keep a time log. There are many mobile and
web-based applications that can help you track where you are spending your
time. I use Outlook to track my daily activities and how much time I spent on each
activity and make the necessary adjustments when it calls for. If you are
serious about changing your life and achieving your goal, spend more time on
the essential tasks.
4. They never give up
Except
your life has an inbuilt computer precision (I doubt that) otherwise, it’s hard
to hit the target with your first try. This is why successful people failed
many times over and never gave up until they made it. There are many things
that you don’t know how to do them and trial and error is one of the ways to
help you pick up new techniques.
You can learn faster by trying faster and
failing more times in a shorter period. You learn at a slower pace when you are
too slow to take action. When you take timely action, you will learn at a
faster rate and know what things work and what don’t. You can make the
necessary adjustments along the way to make things right and move closer to
your goal. If you are slow to take action, you jeopardize the whole process and
slow down your progress.
You may face many frustrations during your
learning process. However, Don’t Give Up. Keep on trying out new ideas that you
had picked up. Keep doing those that work and kick away ideas that don’t work.
Now, do you want to make your
dreams and goals come true in a simple, easier and faster way? Are you really
serious to live the kind of lifestyle you desire and do you want to be more
successful? With all these proven success steps that I provided, you will be
able to achieve anything you want in your life...without sweat!
