What is success according to you? Don’t you think it is relative? The person named A who has salary of Rs. 100000 is more successful than the person named B with salary of Rs. 50000. On the other side, if the person B is happier than the person A is more successful.
So, Success does not have any fix definition. It varies from person to person.
But there are certain qualities which are sure shots to make people successful in living respectful and positive life.
Self-discipline:
“You must have heard people saying that “I want to be like Priyanka Chopra, I want to be like Shahrukh khan, I want to be like Mr. Narendra Modi, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar etc. I was wondering if they are that much passionate about being someone like successful, why can’t they make it. It drawn on me after thinking that 90% of people who say stuff like that are NOT willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true.” “The Marines have a saying: ‘Everybody wants to get to heaven. But nobody wants to die.’ And that’s just real.”There is only one thing at the center of bringing any dream into reality and that is Self-Discipline. Self-discipline is the key to success and it’s about your mind. It’s getting command of your mind to be able to choose actions that are in your own best interest.“Daily, we choose something that is not in our own best interest.So start training your mind and take actions which are in your best interest. “You cannot win the war against the world, if you can’t win the war against your own mind.”
Sacrifice
Keep one thing in your mind. You have to make choices and you have to sacrifices to achieve what you want. You cannot do everything. If you want to lose weight, you have to follow strict diet and workout. You cannot eat fast food and at the same time you lose weight. Lata mangeshkar, the legendary singer of bollywood has never tasted ice-cream. That is the sacrifice she has made to achieve.
Your comfort zone is your greatest single obstacle to improved performance.
Once you get into a comfort zone in any area, you will strive and struggle unconsciously to remain in that comfort zone, even though it may be vastly below what you are truly capable of achieving in that area.
The key to achieving your full potential is sacrifice and coming out of your comfort zone.
Gratitude
These people always consciously practice gratitude to achieve more, to be happy, and to make a difference.
How important it is to take those first 10 minutes and be thankful for life.
The only practice which makes the difference between success and failures Gratitude.
Whether we believe it or not, our lives are highly dependent on external forces. No matter how self-motivated and driven we may be, a mix of luck, friends, colleagues, relatives, family, a higher power, or even total strangers is constantly influencing our daily lives.
Gratitude is nothing but being thankful; readiness to appreciate and to return kindness. It stems from acknowledging what we have and the opportunity that lies ahead of us.
And when we are thankful for even the smallest moments, life tends to send more rewards our way. When we start counting our blessings, universe returns us blessing in abundance. Gratefulness rebounds in all sorts of directions and often opens new doors.
As somebody once said, “gratitude is the open door to abundance.”
By following these four qualities and by taking complete control of the development of your self through positive thinking, you create the foundation for the development that will enable you to accomplish more than the average person accomplishes in a lifetime.
