How Can I Get Success In Life?

By Nikki C. Hodge


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.

Take Proactive Action - What do you hope to achieve and accomplish personally and professionally? Rather than continuing to think about it, begin to take action. Devise a plan of action that will result in achieving success in the chosen areas of your life. Focus on taking small, implementable steps rather than making large, dramatic changes. Track your progress and make adjustments as needed. In time, you will see positive changes in the areas of your life that you have chosen to place emphasis on. Once you achieve success in one area, choose another and repeat the process.Success in life doesn't just happen; it requires dedication and focus. If you have ever wondered, "How can I get success in life," implement the tips outlined above to begin to see and experience positive changes within your life.Everybody wants to succeed in life and get a load of all the things that makes life worthy to live. To succeed in life you need more than just determination, you would need as much motivation that you can get from either the people around you or the things that you usually do.

Be it far from me to suggest that prayer does not work. But remember, the verse I quoted is from the Word of God. He is the one who says that lazy hands make a man or woman poor. All the praying in the world won't compensate for laziness.

I know the answer already, but let me ask the question anyway: Do you want to realize success in life? Who in his or her right mind is going to say he wants to be a failure, right. On the other hand, some people who answer yes in words say no by their actions. "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth," the Bible says (Proverbs 10:4).Talk is cheap. Realizing success in life requires that we conscientiously do the things that enable us to avoid failure. And according to the verse above, lazy hands make one poor. Note that the verse is not job-specific. Lazy hands make one poor, no matter what the person's goal in life is. Similarly, "Diligent hands bring wealth," no matter what you aspire to do.

Exert more effort in what you are doing and make it better. In aiming to succeed you have to give everything your best. If your past has aggravating experiences, this time around you should have accomplishments, triumph and victory, and that is all because you did your best and you did everything that you could do to make it to the top.Believe in what you can do. Nobody else would start believing you but yourself. If you don't believe that you can do more that you can right now, who would? It is essential that you know yourself and up to what extent can you give, this way you will be able to evaluate your competencies in whatever task that will be given to you.Now that you know this, all you have to do is to keep these steps in mind and perform them accordingly. You may find some other principles that you can add in to make sure that you hit your target. But as soon as you are up there, do not forget to humble yourself, because that is what made successful people who they are right now, and you better remember all of these from now on.
