So, let’s think together, what does it take to become successful.
Some people have a misconception of what success is, by only thinking success is a massive amount of money in the bank, nice cars or beautiful homes.
Of course, all these items are important, but they are only an indication of what you have achieved in life, however, it is not by any mean is the means for success.
If we look at some figures of the highly influential people of all time who have not considered money as their major priority, but, they have achieved incredible successes.
Mohandas Gandhi’s, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Thresa, Nelson Mandela, and many other who haven’t considered money as something important but all of them have achieved some extraordinary successes of all our history.
If we analyze all these great successful figures we will find one thing in common. They all have a PURPOSE.
Sure we will not be able to repeat these great examples again, (or maybe one day someone will). We know that the truth is that we all need money so we can accomplish the things that we want from life. But the problem is that most of the people are looking at the wrong side of the spectrum, they are focusing on money and money only and this is why they seldom have it.
As Earl Nightingale once said, “It’s like someone sitting in front of the fireplace asking to give me heat and then I will give you firewood”. It definitely does not work that way.
Even in our modern days, Steve Jobs, Bill gates and many other successful people they had a vision, it took them years of dedication and hard work, but the vision was solid and certain. They’ve followed it with all the ups and downs, they’ve followed through until they achieve what they have started, sure it was not a smooth journey, but the only one thing has never changed, their vision and sense of purpose.
Money is basically a byproduct of great achievements and hard work creating something that serves others and make the world a better place, the more we create value, the more our rewards will be.
As the great Einstein once said: “Only a life lived in the service to others is worth living”.
Alright, let’s see how we can correct the situation so we can achieve whatever we want to achieve.
Simply we need to see how can we add value to others, but first, we must take a stocktake of our unique skills and abilities and how to apply it so we can create value to the world around us and fulfil a certain needs or solve an important problem.
By doing that we will realize what is our purpose in life, and how we will be able to fulfil this purpose. It does not come easy, it takes dedication, perseverance, imagination and most importantly believing in yourself, expectation and a positive mental attitude.
