15 well-known motivational leaders were interviewed some years ago. After talking to them, 8 secrets to success came to light. I am going to share them with you.
• RESPONSIBILITY:
As human beings we have a tendency to blame something or someone for our failures. The ones who don’t fall in this trap are the ones who succeed. Therefore, taking complete responsibility for your life is the first principle of success. By doing so, we are in complete control of out life. Our energies also do not get drained in playing the blame game. By taking responsibility we shift from being a victim to being the master and creator of our own lives.
• PURPOSE: What is your purpose in life? We are all on this planet for a purpose. The sooner we realize that the better. Find a cause you believe in and do your job right. Be self-motivated. Knowing your purpose helps you to focus your attention on it. It helps you to understand when to take a stand and take right decisions. Living life without a purpose is like just wasting another day of our life. An entrepreneur, who lives life on purpose, brings passion to his work.
• What is the price you are willing to pay for your dreams?
Dare to dream and if you have a dream then be ready to pay the price. Wishful thinking cannot guarantee success. If you really want to change your dreams into reality then be courageous and do not back out when faced with challenges.
• FOCUS ON YOUR GOAL:
Everyone is hard-pressed for time these days. Everyday people are loaded with hundred of tasks, phone calls, meetings etc. It is important to remain focused among all these activities. One should have the wisdom to give up something today and invest that time in something that you will yield greater results in the long run.
• STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE:
Always be ready to improve at what you do. Successful people take their work seriously and always aim for the best. Never compromise on your work. Keep track of what the ‘BEST’ in your profession are doing and implement that in your life. Your work should make you proud rather than embarrassed.
• SUCCESSFUL & UNSUCCESSFUL:
The difference between successful and unsuccessful is that successful people always write down their goals on paper. What separates a wish or a fantasy from a goal is that, the letter is written down on paper. Reaching out for goals without an action plan is like traveling in unknown area without a map and worse still, not knowing the destination!
• PERSEVERANCE:
The power of perseverance is immense. Be determined to reach your goal. Never ever doubt yourself. The thought of giving up should not be entertained even for a fraction of a second. Remain committed to your mission and keep marching ahead and very soon you’re there. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
• DON’T PROCRASTINATE:
Time is precious. Don’t wait for the right moment because the right moment is NOW. No one knows how long they are going to be here. Even Gandhiji has said that ‘Live as if you were to die tomorrow’. You must live each day with the same energy and passion. People who believe life is too short, do not delay and make full use of the time they have NOW.
