Close your eyes and allow yourself to dream
Imagine success, picture it, envision it!
Ask yourself the following:
How will it seem when finally you have accomplished success? How will your investors, parents, society and guardians feel?
How will you feel?
How will you take it?
How will they take it? - Your Success!
For all these answers and feelings write them down on a piece of paper and keep it! I mean keep that paper.
Success and it's feelings are more than imaginary they are deserving, they are fulfilling but most importantly they are what you do on that righteous and rough journey.
How do you get there? A major question asked by a hungry many people!
A people that want to be more in life and live lavishly, people that want to break away from the formalities of their daily lives and be extraordinary, people who want to bring change and see the change, not only in them but in those surrounding them.
So then again I ask myself like anybody else what is success?
Looks like I'm going to give you the answers right?
With how I am asking these questions you'd think I have it figured out! But no I don't have it figured out - It's the patterns that have been there and will stand time that you need to pay attention to, that I simply will just help you to understand by merely stating them!
Have you ever wondered what success is? What it means? What it could possibly be? Is it considered to be about the materialistic things? Is it happiness? Is it tangible, intangible, does it have wings, legs? a body!?
Urgh you actually begin to question your own sanity I tell you on this quest for success!
& the question believe it or not still remains 'What is it?
Another exercise I task you to do:
Write down what success means to you, how you define it, how it makes you feel, and for every answer on paper once again - write, and keep the paper!
Success means quite a number of things to a wide scope of people and if you don't surely know what success means to you and what it is to you, then you might possibly just be following the wind and others hence the above exercise becomes not only about defining success but looking at success from an individual perspective.
Therefore I urge you to rediscover what success is, most especially to you as an individual before indulging into the hunger for it - before the journey of success itself.
One of my favorite author/motivational speaker of all time says "Its all in the small things " and just to be exact the words of Brian Tracy! He goes on to illustrate how a tiny habit can turn into a character trait and how mostly these character traits influence who a person is going to become or rather who he or she is. The bible even goes on to illustrate how a matchstick can lit up the whole forest and destroy it, how a little sleep and slumber can make someone a poor person, how the tongue is powerful and dangerous enough to cause strife and wars, and really how much any action plays a significant role in everything that we do.
Why so much impact on the little things you may begin to wonder.
Let's clarify it simply by using the obvious that just as how a baby sits, crawls and takes tiny steps until they can walk is the very same way how anything in life especially success operates, you have to begin from somewhere and at most it's from nothing, pain, challenges, hardships that you become - a success - in whatever it maybe!
It is from nothing/pain/hardships that you gain little and little confidence, little and little persistence, strength, courage and wisdom among other qualities, it is among these things that you grow into an individual different from any other being!
An individual with a purpose, that is empowered and it is mostly through being consistent with your dreams, with your values with your principles that you often so many times reach where you want to go.
Therefore!
Consistency is key just as discipline is fundamental, without the need to be there's no point in being therefore we must always keep in mind that we have purposes to fulfill while we are alive.
In many ways is the term success defined, and truth is, it has become one of the best pushing and motivating factors particularly in this millennium century where it is all about the trends in social media - the success of others. And it saddens my spirit to see most people taking shortcuts unimaginable to be successful forgetting that it is a process just like growing up is.
Stay in your lane, finish the race and move on to the next race and always remember step by step you will get there and get up whenever you fall!
Remind yourself each day when you begin to feel the pressure, when you feel like giving up, when the storm hits you were it hurts by merely reflecting on yourself and looking at where you have come from and where you want to go.
Take a look at those pieces of paper that you wrote down on what success means to you and how it will feel once attained and I assure you - you will soldier on.
Always push yourself to the limit but remember at most to be consistent, hardworking and disciplined, remind yourself each day that you have a purpose to fulfill and do nothing but fight your fight in making this world a better place, it all begins with you.
