Success in life can come in many different packages, as we all look at success from a different point of view. Maybe wealth is success for you, or it could be a promotion at work, having a family, creating a business, getting into shape or any numerous of things.
Therefore, “reaching that pinnacle of success is something we all strive for in this world, and for some it seems to be a dream that is impossible to achieve”!
~Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome~
Booker T. Washington
So how does one become more successful in life? Is there a magic solution, a choice between the red or blue pill perhaps? I for one have found over the years, after numerous setbacks or failures, that there is no magic solution or having good luck.
Success is less a result of skill or knowledge or being in the right place at the right time, than simply being a product of positive attitude and taking action when and where necessary.
When people first join the military, they do a lot of screaming and pushing you to the limit of your physical and mental capabilities. But, once they started to break you down, they also build you back up. The purpose was make you look at yourself in a different way, to instill in you a sense of pride and positive attitude, “so that you will believe that you can accomplish anything”!
Most people are not only too critical of others, but we are also to critical of ourselves. We need to develop a sense worth, develop an aurora of positive thinking. “If you have the right attitude and feel deep inside that you are capable of anything you put your mind to it and then you will find that accomplishing your goals in life are not simply a dream but become your reality!
My challenge for you this New Year is to achieve a positive mental attitude; be less critical of yourself and others. Look at life and the challenges you encounter in a different way, as unique opportunities to make or do something better. Success always starts from within yourself and spreads outward like a ripple, affecting everything in your path. Create that positive ripple, and create your new, positive life.
