10
Strategies to Make It in Life.
Mwangi Amos
To
be successful in life you need to stop worrying about what might not work and
let the emotion and consciousness of your mind go for what you believe in.
Success in life does it mean a good job or great wealth. A good relationship,
well-managed time, and mental and physical health contribute a lot to human
happiness, happiness is one of the greatest achievements any human being may
get. However, do not confuse happiness and success. You may be quite happy
living in a single room or having only two pairs of shoes but you feel you have not
gained your goals in life. Success is when one has been able to attain their
vision in life. Now that we understand what success in life means, how do we
get there? It is worth noting that despite how one may define success, there
are always common strategies for this as we shall see in this article.
1.
Embrace
a Good Character
Character
defines a person, you will attract a type of life your character dictates.
Success needs a clear set of disciplines for one to achieve it. Character
develops into a habit, if you have a character of being reckless with what you
do, this will turn into a habit and you may not be able to stop it. Hence
success will become a mountain for you. You cannot succeed alone, you need
mentors and financial supporters among others. If you have a bad character, you
will keep off great associates who may help you achieve your vision and goals
in life.
2.
Plan
for Your Life
Based
on what success is for you, have a clear vision of where you want to be, and
set realistic goals. Once you have your plan in place, stick to it and gather
all the necessary materials for you to discover your vision. Be careful not to
listen to the voice of other people. It's your vision and goals, not theirs.
Give it all your energy and focus. If it calls for your development just do it.
3.
Apply
Various Methods
The path to success is not smooth, anyone who
may tell you that they found that one way to success, will doom you. The path
has crest and booms along. Do not stick to one way towards your goals, apply
various strategies that may prove worth to your vision. Benchmark from your
mentors and borrow their idea of how they did it to succeed. Do a lot of
research on how these people carry out their business? Be aggressive towards
meeting your goals.
4.
Don't
Always Say Yes!
Though it may sound awful, it's very ok to
say no. This implies that you understand yourself and you will know what is
worth your time, investment, and energy. If you keep saying yes to every
opportunity that comes your way, you will end up taking the wrong choice that
may waste your resources and at the end of the day, you won't achieve your
vision. You have heard of people turning down great opportunities that came
their way. This doesn't imply that they are fools! No, it rather means they
understand what they want in life.
5.
Turn
Your Mistakes Into a Lesson
Success
comes as a game of try and error, the road to success is marked by a lot of
failures. Turning the mistake into a lesson is the key to success that most
people who have made it useful. You probably have
Heard
the say, we learn from our own mistakes.
If you fail, just don't stop. Make sure you don't repeat the same mistake on
the journey.
6.
Have
Great Relationships
You
need people to challenge you, correct you and as well support you on your
journey to success. Creating a great network of relationships is of much value
as long as being successful is concerned. Have competitors if you want to be
successful. Network with those great people you aspire to be like, learn from their
journey, and implement what they aspire you to do.
7.
Let
Your Goals Come First
You
have the vision to go for, don't let other issues of life divert you. How will
you do this and yet other obligations are as well part of you? You need to be a
very good time manager and have a numerical ranking system that will help you
manage your tasks so that you can concentrate on your set goals.
8.
Evaluate
Your Risks
Do
a proper analysis of the risk involved. You are probably venturing into a new
project, there are a lot of worries that come along with this. It's for this
reason that you have to evaluate the risk involved and see whether they are
worth going for, and the loss that may accrue.
9.
Be
Mentally Prepared for the Unexpected Outcomes.
Things
are not going to turn out the way we plan always, it is very important to have
this at the back in your mind as you take the road to success. So how do you
prepare for the opposite outcomes? Jot down some of the things that may not
work out. Then have their remedies in place. This way it will not surprise you
if something doesn't work since you will be prepared for the majority of it.
10. Acquire More from the Oracle.
Do
a lot of research on what successful people do, and what are their tricks. How
do they manage their time? How do they balance their life? Have someone who
inspires you to be your best. Do you want to be a writer? Look up to people
like Walter Akolo, see their style of writing, and what motivates him among
other areas you want to venture into.
In
conclusion, success has no clear road, the path to success is paved with a lot
of obstacles. It takes a lot of zeal, hand-work, and discipline to make it. Set
your goals, prioritize those goals, and have a plan in place. Mitigate the risk
involved as your move towards your success and evaluate whether they are worth
going for. Remain focused and go for your vision.
