Not Fantastic but Realistic Ingredients for Success

First of all, YOU! You are the reason for your success and failure, as a human, you have the luxury to make your decisions and freedom of choice. Even if your environment is toxic, you have the strength to work on yourself, for yourself, and with yourself.

However, if procrastination strikes then things could be difficult. But, let us not neglect the fact that some environment has nothing to do with us even with your efforts, such as your home. Apart from this, 95% of the success reasons belong to you, some of them are;

1. Your habits- You represent your habits in your regular activities and decision-making. From how you talk to the way you walk, everything is a combination of habits. Success requires productive habits and highly qualified discipline

2. Learning- In relation to the above reason, learning is what will contribute to your success. There are two sorts of people, judgers & seekers. And most people are always in judging mode, rather you should be in seeking mode, and there is more to it.

Not everything is good to learn, so filter out unnecessary information and only focus on beneficial learning.

3. Discipline- Not to become successful, but to start the journey. First, you need to discipline yourself. Discipline starts from planning your day to doing whatever it takes to achieve what you wrote down as your task list. It includes compromises, efforts productivity, and going on to your health consciousness.

Moreover, being disciplined tends to decrease indecent habits and unnecessary urges by itself. If you are doing what you like, that doesn’t count on discipline alone, but if you are giving up unnecessary things to do what you intended for, that is discipline.

4. Skill- As we talked about the importance of learning, it should be converted into a skill. But firstly, it is important to seek the right skill for the right purpose.

If you love swimming, there is no logic in learning how to draw a plan for a skyscraper. So, what you want to achieve will determine what essential skills you need.

5. UAC (Unique ability circle)- We don’t need to learn everything, if we do, we would kill our goals before they even come alive. By nature, every single person on earth has their unique ability circle, and that is quite apparent to everyone.

We only need to stick to those skills. There might be 2,3 or 4 unique skills you are born with, or you can lead with. Going out of the circle would create unpleasant results.

Elon Musk doesn’t build rockets, he has hired a team of professionals who have building skills in their UAC. But all of this doesn’t mean to live a dry day, be the master of your skills.

6. Positive mindset- A hard truth, early success is a scam! Success is not easy, and it won’t come easy even if you call it hundred times a day. Think of that famous girl in college that drives everyone’s attention and responds to very selective people.

If you go to her, beg her to be with you, it won’t work. But what if you build the right attitude, make mature approaches, and create values in yourself, she would like to interact with you.

Success is that famous girl! It only comes to those who are suitable and who can handle it with grace. (By the way, if you would have a strong ethical personality, you wouldn’t beg her in the first place)

7. Goals- Getting out of bed without goals is getting out of your grave in a world you don’t belong to. If you are an employee, be aware of the fact that you are working on someone else’s goals.

It is totally fine to be an employee, the job is an essential part of life, but simultaneously realizing your goals and attempting to work on them won’t hurt you.

Earlier in this journal we talked about ‘How do you define success. So, define your goals, and realize a significant part of 24hr day shall feed the journey to your goals.

8. No need to know it all- As similarly as we don’t need to learn everything, we also don’t need to know everything! Before getting on the path of your goals, an extent of knowledge particular to your desired field would be great.

However, spending too much time on micro details would not help you. Just follow what Nike says ‘Just do it, and you will learn everything you need along the journey.
