Is Life just like a game for you? Do you think there will be winners and losers? If so, then who is your greatest enemy?
All of us compete with ourselves. Striving for the best results enables us to constantly learn, believe, change, and grow. But the reality is, obstacles and problems are part of everyone’s success.
You may fail several times, but here’s what you can do to keep going.
Envision A Successful Life
Have a clear vision of what kind of life you’re going to have.
Define your goals, from smaller to bigger ones. Knowing what you really need and what you really want in life will help you be a very goal-oriented individual.
But you already have that longing goal before, you might ask, ‘What’s the next step?’
Here’s when you need to create your own unique formula for success – a strong strategy and specific tactics.
Strategists are known for their skills in making an effective strategic plan. Planning plays a vital role in creating your own effective strategy, while tactics are the specific actions you need to start to achieve your goal.
It’s crucial to execute precise and specific tactics. That’s why strategy and tactics are complementary to one another.
But you may also want to ask yourself: “What are the problems I may face in the future? What are the possible solutions I may create to continue?” Considering these questions beforehand will prepare you for the worst-case scenarios.
Always put in mind the “tunnel vision” when you persevere on reaching your goal. Indeed, walking on a dark tunnel might be a scary thing. But every dark tunnel has a bright ending, just like you want in your life.
Just keep going, and find that light of success. Remember, only the determined and courageous individuals can pass through that dark tunnel.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
Deciding to have a successful life takes many risks. Many things can hold you back from achieving success. You have to find out what exactly is holding you back.
Others don’t really know what they want in life. But here you are. You take the courage to believe in yourself that you can do it and achieve it. You might be scared to step out of your comfort zone, but the moment you step out of it, you can start to experience a life full of risks and uncertainties.
And so what?
It might be uncomfortable for now, but remember the quote from Neale Donald Walsh, “Life begins outside of your comfort zone.”
This life you have is given at once. Grabbing opportunities that may come in your life is the best
thing to do. It’s a matter of having an objective mindset, courage, and determination.
You can learn from the experience of Thomas Alva Edison, an American inventor. He failed for almost 1,000 times just to have a successful invention of the light bulb we’re using today.
Like the rest of us, he did fail at first, but that doesn’t stop him from doing the part that allows him to meet his goals. We’re not playing to lose, we’re playing to win in this game. Your determination is key to your own success.
If you have drawn a picture of your own success already, then let’s put some colors in it. A colorful picture of your own success is a fantastic sight to see.
In the end, the decision is in your hands. Take small steps at a time and be consistent.
It’s never wrong to make mistakes and end up failing. What’s more important is you learn, you grow, and you change for the better. Don’t stop! Never ever give up until you can finally say, “I made it!”.
Hard work, determination, and passion don’t betray. May you have an incredible and colorful journey towards your success.
