It is a stupid question to ask. Who doesn't want success in life, but the meaning of of success may be different for different people. So the first question we need to ask is "What is the true meaning of Success?"
What is the true meaning of success?
For different people success has different meaning. For some lots of money is success, for some power means success and some are greedy, they may want both i.e. power and money. Still success is not limited to money and power. There are different types of success in life. A scientist sees success differently, an army personnel sees it differently. For a lover holding hand of his lover is a success and for a student scoring good in exam is an ultimate success. So, success can not be defined in a set of limited words. But the key to assure success is more or less same. And a good thing is that both a failure or a successful person knows the key, but the successful person is the one who actually have used the key to unlock the door.
What is the key to success?
Like the keys we see to open the actual lock of any door, they of success also has few levers, and to unlock the door of success you have to align all the levers of the with the lock of door to success. Those leavers can we define as Hard work, determination, consistency, focus etc. There can we few more but these are most important. Because once you get these levers aligned, the first door opens and the keys for others will be behind the first door.
But the important thing is that, you have to make the first key by your own like a locksmith. Though all the levers are important, to begin with the journey of success you need to carve them in a series. So, which is the first one to start.
Which one to start with?
We have heard success quotes that there is no shortcut to hard word, consistency is the and several others. And yes! these all are very important. But the first thing to start with is the FOCUS. Why focus is so important. I have my personal experience that whenever we try to go after success the biggest enemy we have to face is "deviation of thoughts". We are willing to do hard work, we are willing to be consistent, but our mind will drag us from our work to dwell in the past or to worry about feature and sometime to see cozy dreams of future. And this make focus the most important thing to begin with.
How to build FOCUS?
First thing you need to do is that you have to calculate, honestly, what your aim or goal requires. Then you have to calculate your ability, that where do you stand. Then, for few days (not more than 3 to 4 days) you can start with your ability. Try to push a little every day. After 3 to 4 days you have to increase your efforts upto the level required, and after 15 days you have to increase your efforts till 70% of your required time or efforts.
You will not achieve expected output or results.
Because your mind will not stay at one place. It will drag you from your work. It will give you artificial reasons to leave your work. It will remind you that one day some person told you something and that did hurt you. Sometimes it will show you beautiful dreams of future, but you have to avoid indulging in every such trap. And this falling in to the trap and untangling will take a lot of time. But you keep doing your job, you stay at your work. Spent required amount of time on your goal. Keep disregarding the lollypops given by your mind. and one day (that will be very soon if you keep doing this) you will find that you are focused at your goal. Another strange thing you will observe that you are consistently working hard on your goal.
This wont be easy.
Definitely! this will not be an easy thing to do in the beginning. But remember, that SUCCESS always resides out of your comfort zone. You have to step out of your comfort zone. Read the quote bellow which I wrote on a writing app Your Quotes..๐
