It is indeed common knowledge that everyone wants to be successful, live their dreams and mentain the growth but what remains the challenge is that they do not know what path to follow and are also faced with the challenge of wrong choices resulting from bad decisions. It is also a reality that we have desires and wants but not everyone gets what they aspire. An example is the Hollywood where a chunk of people visit every day to live and fulfill their dreams and offcourse not everyone can live in Hollywood because Hollywood won't contain all that yearn to go there, In order to succeed we have to therefore learn what others do differently that enabled them have that good life, the enabled them be viewed different, that enabled them succeed.
Mentors have the power:
In order to transform your life, it is important that you have a mentor, even more than one if you aspirations in some other field(s). There is nothing you can achieve in life without following the footsteps of others, you can only add value what things that already exist because you cannot create something new. So if you want to succeed you need to find the person that will help in getting what you want.
In order to design your life, you have to find a person who has achieved to a large extent that you have ever wanted. Picasso said, “Good artists copy but great artist steal”. Even your own life is as result of the grooming your parents gave you as child, their instructions and influence have much roots in your behavioural outcome today. Again as stated in the beginning of this paragraph remember that you will never find all the answers from one person especially when you have different dreams and goals of life. A handful of people will provide you the best guidance.
Getting the "Good life" , Reach that height:
Everyone wants a good life but they rarely know what it is. So here are the four practical aspects that you should achieve for a good life:
•Health, good health is the most important aspect of a good life, do everything possible to achieve good health because success without good health is living life in futility because to what end will your earning (s) be.
•Wealth is the second aspect. most people say money doesn’t bring you happiness but while you have the wealth you sure will feel worthwhile and happy too.
•Thirdly love. Without love, you cannot do much because it aids your receiving from others and vice-versa, in loving you are loved in return, it goes to wait for you and picks you up when sliding down the ladder. Loving is eternal saving that satisfies the inner soul.
•Contentment as the last aspect keeps you on the watch against anxiety, vicious lifestyle and keeps you focused especially when you need to reorganize yourself after a failed attempt because failure is part of success, there cannot be said to be real success without turbulent waters in all areas of human endeavour, contentment revives you and cautiously relaunch you to a whole new beginning devoid of much mistakes.
The practical steps to success:
To reach that level of success? Below are your practical guides!!!
1-The law of 33%:
Divide your life into 33% and spend through the following ways. Spend 33% of your life with people lower than you and mentor them and they will help you back by making you feel good about yourself(Giving and receiving love). Spend 33% with people on your level they will be your friends. spend the rest of 33% with people 10 to 20 years ahead of us, though they will make you feel uncomfortable but that is where you gather your strength out of their coaching as a result of consultation burned out innate desire to learn. Seek less knowledge from people of the Same margins as yourself, except listening to smartly learn from their mistakes because that would be like the accepting the lead of a fellow. Follow the 10X rule and find someone 10 times farther ahead of you. It is said "IF YOU ARE IN THE ROOM WHERE YOU ARE THE WISEST, THEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG ROOM". Success is a result of good knowledge.
2-Humility:
It is a fact that humble people are the most successful people. You have to be humble and open to learn the new things. Do not for any reason forget that point of strive and suffering and much more where you currently are and are heading to, these are two different points and stages of life, humility with delligence does the magic you think it is, suffice it to say magic has nothing to do with true success. Arrogance contrary to humility is the banana peals that slips you off those set-pieces that would have sprung you to better grounds and opportunities, the more keep to and indulge in it(Arrogance) the more you painfully fail. While you are humble be open to learning, be keen; observations and efforts to adding value to what you do on a daily basis spur help to find you whether as a grown or growing individual.
3-Persevere:
In order to succeed you have to persevere because success will never come the easy way. You have to remember that Luxury comes at a cost, yearning for luxury kills your dreams, your hopes and your ambitions. Perseverance is the most important distinction between the successful and unsuccessful people, Keep going and do not give in to easy things, for there is nothing like luck because luck is the outcome of your efforts and doesn't come with wishes.
4-Books:
Books are the best mentors, they serve you with practical experiences witnessed by "GENIOUS" from books you gain practical knowledge and wisdom shared by those who have achieved unprecedented heights, these narrations will greatly influence your choice of career/area of specialization, See books as hidden treasures. Books are great treasures and friends that you read(though not with you humanly speaking at the moment) but through text providing that bridge between your present point of life and your later desired feat. Read at least one book every week. Books have a huge role in shaping your personality and mindset. Develope strong passion for them, they expose you to hidden secrets and are antidotes to failure.
5-Stoic and epicurean people:
There are two types of people, the STOIC and EPICUREAN people. The Stoic can let go off the present pleasure for something good in the future, while Epicurean people live for the now. Between these two kind your guess is as good as mine regarding my advice.
Everyone wants the good life but not everyone is willing to follow the rules and pay the ultimate price for the prize. Give in to hard work and come up with something different, distinct from what is common, then and only can you be sure of success especially when what you offer is largely appreciated by man, much more because it is to the benefit of humanity; that is adding value to what already exist because nothing is virtually new, what you seek to do is been done before. HOW DIFFERENTLY ARE YOU DOING IT NOW?. "THAT IS SUCCESS"!!!.
