How to Achieve Personal Success


You’ve probably heard of people seemingly possessing the Midas touch? Don’t you love to touch things and have them turn to gold? There are people who touch a raffle ticket and they’d win a car. There are people who have the knack to turn up somewhere and they’d land a job. Have you heard of people who suddenly had the urge to invest some of their money in some stocks and the stocks soared suddenly high. These people may just be lucky, but they can also be very good at achieving personal success. If Lady Luck rarely smiles at you, what can you do?

Work for Your Success

You choose to be successful. It does not happen overnight. It takes a commitment. It requires a wholehearted dedication from you. You should have a definite goal and a plan on how to achieve that goal. You could have the most incredibly viable idea in the planet but if you procrastinate and find reasons why you ought not to pursue your idea – you cannot possibly expect to achieve success.

How to Achieve Personal Success

Trying to achieve personal success takes time. However, if you know how to go about working for it, you can achieve it. Here are some tips on how to achieve success:

Have a viable plan and do not hesitate taking the initial steps toward the completion of your goals. Do not dissuade yourself by procrastinating or giving yourself excuses why you shouldn’t pursue your plans.

Learn to recognize opportunities and never let go of them.

Teach yourself how to move fast. Do not let opportunities slip by being slow. Do not be too hasty, however, that you end up committing mistakes.

Take care of your health. Make sure that you are emotionally, physically, mentally and even spiritually healthy. You can’t expect to perform well if your body is weak. Give yourself time to recuperate and rest if your body needs to rest.

Avoid people who hold you back with negativity.

If you could look for ways to be able to get things done more quickly, do so and adopt these measures.

Never forget to communicate with people who could help you achieve your objectives.

Motivate yourself constantly by reminding yourself of your goals.

Create deadlines for tasks so you’d give directions to your plans.

Constantly challenge yourself to go above your capabilities and your limits.

I envy you Sher. I'm pretty good with thinking things (like writing that article for instance) but I'm horrible with execution.
I just don't seem to have the drive. :(

Hey writing motivational or inspirational articles is a gift too. A lot of people sell books on that subject. Need to find your strength and develop it. Everyone's different and unique. So what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. :) But look you have a beautiful child. How many people out there are scared to make the commitment? Let alone take up the responsibilities of a parent? It's the greatest strength on earth!

You're pretty good at INSPIRATIONAL comments yourself. :)
You're monopolizing all the talents in the world. You're a good writer too aside from being a good cook.
Hmm... I might just start the Sher Fans Club. :)
