Success: Seven Steps to Achieving More

By Allec Borseci


There's lots of guides around that are informing you that there is this marvelous "secret" to success. There isn't. This "secret" they are making reference to is only a sham to get you intrigued enough to purchase their product or service. Success is not a secret... it's actually quite easy really.

I figure there are 7 distinct factors to finding success in your own life. They are:

1. Have Faith and Be Positive

The most crucial thing that can be done in your quest for success, is build a positive mind-set and have faith that you will get to where you wish to go. Very often, people are not able to envision an event or circumstance turning out the way they desire it to. They only see a harmful end-result. You can't think in this way. Not if you'd like to have great results. At times, regardless if it seems like an issue can't come out good, you have to find ways in which it can. That's faith. That's possessing a good mentality. Use your imagination if you have to!

Some youngsters are discouraged from a early age caused by inadequate direction. Once others grow older, they are introduced to this world that lets us know that we are unable to accomplish this, or we're not suitable for that and, in return, our ability to be artistic and expect to have good things vanishes. However it can be brought back! All you've got to do is have strong faith and use your imagination!

2. Be Enthusiastic

In the past, I have found that no matter what work I have had, I've always been able to find something I didn't like about it. A part of this problem was my lack of passion towards the work I did. Thankfully, I've discovered the effectiveness of enthusiastic habits.

You HAVE to be enthusiastic if you wish to find success. Those that have enthusiasm are always prepared to offer more and work harder. Why? Well, it's simple... they do not focus on those minor negative issues that many individuals see in their employment.

Those negatives are super easy to find should you look for them and they can easily consume you to the point of failure, if you focus enough on them. Similarly, enthusiastic people see the positive things and therefore are pleased to be so lucky to perform such rewarding work. This is exactly opposite of finding the negatives in a job. Any time you find the good and concentrate on it, good things will happen. It is the law of the Universe. What you look for, and everything you make it a staple to target, you can expect to receive.

3. Have Courage To Take Chances

When you see what you have been looking for, get it! When a creative idea comes to you, examine it! That's how you get your creative thinking back. You've got to take risks.

Most people do not even recognize that they have an imagination or creative ability, because when those creative thoughts or ingenious ideas pop in their head, they scold themselves because of it. "They are certainly not realistic," they may say. However, those are the most authentic ideas you can possibly have and by not exploring them, you neglect your golden opportunity.

4. Go Above & Beyond

You have got to think big. You have to dream big. You have got to do more and be more.

Go the extra mile. Climb a little higher. Work just a little harder. Laugh just a little louder. Don't just put in an attempt. Give it everything you have.

5. Work To Serve Others

This does not mean go out and wait hand and foot on someone. It means, that whatever you do, do it with the aim of assisting others. You could possibly develop an item that advances the lives of others. You could start an enterprise that gives a good quality service at an economical price. Whatever you decide to do, don't work for the money. Work to improve the lives of those around you.

Whether you're a farmer, a business person, a school teacher, a coach, a politician, a truck driver, a lumberjack, or whatever you are, when you look to serve others in your work, you will find more success. Quite simply, do not work for your income. Work to make a difference.

6. Persist

In order to find success, you have to do something that most people never do. You have to persist until the end. No quitting, no backing down. You're in it to win it, or you are not in it at all. That's the perspective you have to take with you.

Sure, you are going to get knocked down and yes, obstacles are going to obstruct your path. Many people will also tell you that your path is unachievable. That's fine... because you're going to get back up, you're going to ignore what they say and you are going to go up that mountain anyways. That is how you persevere, and that is how you find success.

7. Be Thankful

There is not a creature on this world who has best control over their life. Our life is our gift and we must be grateful that we have it. So, give thanks for every good thing in your life. Your family, your home, your job, your friends... give thanks to God for them. If you can't help but find negatives, thank God for the lessons they have provided you with and thank God for the ability to overcome them.
