Some people are lucky. They are born with the looks, the voice, or some athletic talent, and they become overnight sensations. But what about the rest of us?
How might we stack the odds in our favour to become successful? What must we bring to the table to get our piece of the pie?
Lucky for you, I have seven things for you to consider to make your life more awesome and successful.
Value time: Be the person who knows life is not a rehearsal. You only get to live this one life. Do smell the roses, but get busy living and doing. You can't expect things to happen or be easy. You must have a sense of urgency in everything you do and are after.
Put in the effort: Can you expect results without toil? Nothing comes easily in life; if it does, it is seldom appreciated. That's why a bit of hard times will make a person stronger. But you, and I do mean you, must take life seriously and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals.
Maintain a positive attitude: Get around positive people. Read positive books. Think like a winner. Be joyful. Avoid all the opposites you just read. Life will be topsy-turvy, but with a positive outlook, you give yourself a chance at success.
Choose a mentor wisely: If you want to bake a very tasty cake, you would do well to find an award-winning baker or your mother to show you the recipe. People try to reinvent the wheel and end up with too little in the way of good results. Find someone to show you the recipe they used to get what you want!
Immerse yourself: You have to live, breathe, eat, and dream about your goal every day. Go deep into the thing you are after. Look at the life of your favourite athlete. They were not casual about their practice routine, fundamental skill training, or anything in between. You must become obsessed if you want to reach the heights you should achieve. If others can do it, why not you?
Spend time in deeper thought: We are all too distracted. It's not just the phone in your hand but everything you must do or do in a day. There are so many demands on us, so little time and too many excuses. Carve out a few minutes before sleeping to ask yourself if you had a good day that showed you cared enough to do what you needed to move the needle towards your goals. Do the same when you wake up.
Don't waste mental energy: Too many people think about their past or future when they should focus on the present. Whoever said the past and the future don't exist is 100% right. You damage only yourself by dwelling on past events or the future when you could be enjoying the time you are in right now. What you think, you feel. Your emotions come from your thinking. So, make yourself a person who thinks well.
The least we can do is the most we should do. What on this list makes sense for you to adopt right away? Let's look it over and commit to doing whatever it takes to reach our goals and live the life we know we should live. We only have this one life, and how much of it is left?
