How To Be Successful In Life: Creating A Life Of Greatness

By William R. Givens


All of us as human beings have been taught "from the cradle on" about how the real world operates, and we are "told" that this reality exists independent from our own ideas of it. Would it surprise you if you learned that after your own death one day this was not true? What if there was "more to the story?" Would it change things for you if you learned that the life you had, was the one you created for yourself out of the ideas in your head? Would you continue to accept your version of reality as being unchangeable because of the ideas handed down or given to you, and for the remainder of your life? If you knew this to be true, would it make any difference in how you would choose to create and live the life you call your own?

So, if I were you, I'd take the opportunity right now to begin to list the things that would make me a successful person. This will give you a concrete idea of what success is like. The most common areas of ones life to include are finances (be sure to be very specific, saying I want to have a lot of money is not good, a lot of money is very subjective, determine exactly how much money you'd like to have in your bank account or as an income), you could also mention where you want to be living and the kind of house you'd like to own. Your relationship status and familiar goals. What about your health, how would you like your health and lifestyle to be like?

Long term goals when added up, together, get you where you believe is your idea of success. Short term = long term= success. One builds off the other. Your long term goals can be looked at as a gathering or grouping of successful short term goals. For example, if I feel successful by getting married (which I don't), my long term goal would be to meet a woman. How do I do that? Through short term goals. My short term goals would be: work on myself, work on my interactions with women, maybe talk to 5 women a day, go out more often, go on dates, and so on. If I do that time after time, hopefully, I would reach my long term goal and get a girlfriend. Now when that Long term goal is completed, it's time to make another long goal which would be to get past the first year mark. So now you write down small daily goals that get you there. You keep doing this process over and over until you reach what you believe is successful. It's honestly a fail-proof formula if you stick with it.

Now, if you are just starting your way towards success, remember, it is not just about what you have written and it will magically happen, you do need to put in the work and effort to help make your dream a reality. For financial gain, you need to figure out what you intend to give in order to acquire that sum. If you are single, and looking for a relationship, you need to figure out exactly what type of significant other you would like to have. Then go out there and attract that special someone. For health, well, depending on your lifestyle, you adjust your diet accordingly. The diet of a body builder will no doubt be different than the diet of an athlete or a person who's optimizing their 9-5 work.

This article here is not the place for me to elaborate deeply on the fact that our world is changing in profound ways. You are changing in profound ways. You only need to open your eyes and look around with the open-mindedness of a non-judgmental child to see the truth of this. All over the world, people are seeking out those who would "lead the way" by the very example of living their own life to the fullest expression possible. It really is that simple. The greatest thing you can do to help our world (I trust this is important to you) is for you to "face your fears" and grow your ideas of what you believe is possible for you.I do not know how to convince you that the life you are presently living is not all that you came here to be. What is it about you that is of interest to you right now in your life? What is it about your life right now that you would like to change? Pretend for a moment that you had the power to do anything you wanted to with your life, what would that be? The answer to that question is what you need to start on today by taking a first step (or continuing) in the direction of that picture.

Don't give up This is the most important on the list. This list will not work unless you are consistent. You have to keep moving ahead. It's easy to give up. Be different and take on a challenge. Stop complaining if you had to take a step back, start over, or not getting the results you want. Go back to setting your short term goals and start over. Time flies and you'll be amazed on how much you can accomplish in a short period of time if you are consistent day to day with your task.I promise if you follow these 8 things, you will be successful. The most important things to remember are the journey and the commitment. You have to stay on it. If you do so, you will only move forward. Good luck.
