Anybody can be successful, you just need to apply yourself

Summary

Success is a personal journey that can be achieved by setting realistic goals, maintaining strong relationships, and celebrating small victories.

Abstract

The concept of success is subjective and can be defined by each individual according to their own values and aspirations. It is about setting personal goals and working towards them with determination and self-compassion. Success is not just about grand achievements but also about the satisfaction derived from daily accomplishments, such as overcoming challenges or simply enjoying an extra hour in bed without notice. It involves embracing a positive mindset, focusing on achievable objectives, and recognizing one's own progress and achievements. By doing so, anyone can cultivate a sense of success in their lives.

Anybody can be successful, you just need to apply yourself

The great thing about success is it is all relative. You can define what you think success should look like and work to achieve it. There may be things that seam to be unachievable or not available to you but by mastering the art of being successful you can set yourself up to become something more than you are. With a little faith in yourself of course..

So what is success?

As I write this article if you google “what is success” this is what you get at the top of the page:

Success is something that you have to define for yourself, and no one can do it for you. Success could mean a sense of giving back to the world and making a difference. It could mean a sense of accomplishment and career progression. It could mean being able to do the things you love. 24 Jul 2019

Personally I read that and I glaze over.. I think what does that mean? Put simply it means anything you want it to mean.. Do you wake up in the morning and put both feet on the ground and jump up and think “Awesome! Its a new day lest get started..” or do you like me pull the cover up over your chin and roll over and think “Can i have another 10 mins sleep before i have to face another days work?”

In reality Success is what ever you want it to be.. Its something your proud of completing or having not done. Its the blocked drain you fixed, or the bill you no longer have to pay. You can make your goals and you can break them. either way its what you make it.. For me success most of the time is getting away with another hour in bed and no one notices..

Seriously I’ve seen people obsess over becoming successful in reality they already are..

So a few things you should do to be successful:

Don’t be too hard on yourself, cut your self some slack and be realistic.

Set your self a few simple goals that you know you can achieve.

Build a strong relationship with your friends.

Worry about what you can do, rather than what you can’t and plan to do it.

Do one thing each day to work towards your plan.

When you complete something, tell yourself you are successful

Take each day as it comes and be kind to yourself.
