THE TRUTH ABOUT SUCCESS.

Success can range from daily achievements to great inspiring achievements. Success has no absolute or concrete definition, and its definition varies according to the perception an individual has. It can be an aim towards a purpose or the excitement a person gets after achieving something.

Success is what you make it

The truth is that success depends on your definition. It is your own making and desire to achieve something. Therefore, success is a choice. You must decide for yourself what kind of success you want. You must believe that who you are and what you can do is enough to achieve what you want.

Plan for Success

You must be specific and precise and this will be the driving force towards achieving your success. Success is a result of planning. For without planning you are heading nowhere.

Planning means putting down a well drawn sketch of what you want to do and accomplish. When something is well planned then a setback is faced, coming up with a next action plan is pretty easy.

Input for Success

Someone once said that, "Success is when preparation meets opportunity." A plan lightens the workload and keeps us focused. Then a good evaluation  follows to gauge the current status of achievement so that the necessary adjustments can be made.

Success is not easy and it is not difficult, it depends on what we are willing to give. As it is said, for anyone to receive something valuable, they have to give out something of equal value. What we sacrifice is our input.

We sacrifice money, apply our knowledge, use our energy and resources. The more we are willing to give,  the higher the intensity of rewards from our success.

Setbacks influence Success

Setbacks are major ingredients of success. They are the difficulties we encounter along the path to our success. Setbacks will always be there and the rewards from them depend on our attitude and reactions.

Negative perceptions cause us to be brought down by setbacks and they create barriers that hinder our achievements.  A positive perception towards setbacks changes the challenges into opportunities for growth and expansion. The setbacks look like stepping blocks to the next level.

Success is a personal choice

Anyone can achieve success. Success is not for the chosen few, but a few choose success.

Set a vision that is in line with your talents and abilities. Work towards the vision and with time you will be getting closer to your success.

Opportunities will always present themselves, we must learn how to recognize and take advantage of them. Henry ford said, "Some people miss out on opportunities because they are dressed in overalls." Prepare enough to keep up with the game and you will realize that things start to fall into place.

INSPIRATION, MOTIVATION, LEADERSHIP AND RELATIONSHIPS.

Jim Rohn once said that, "Motivation is like taking a bath, you can't do without a bath, and yesterday's bath is not sufficient for today so you have to take another bath."

What he was trying to bring across is that motivation that was powerful yesterday may not be powerful today. It is essential to be motivated daily and stay motivated every day.

Inspiration and Motivation.

Inspiration is the key to unlocking the immense potential that is in us. It helps us discover our uniqueness and the importance of our destiny. Everyone has something that they can do best.

Motivation gives us the power to keep moving and focus on our goals. It gives us the strength not to give up during hard times and to focus on the rewards that come after.

Inspiration and motivation will keep us focused, they can be a foundation of knowledge which we can hold on to as we succeed in life.

Leadership.         

Leadership is all about influence, it is the ability to obtain followers and help them realize their potential to achieve a certain goal. Leadership is a quality that is developed; it is being the person that others will gladly follow.

Leading has to do with casting a vision and motivating people. Being a leader is not about position, but about disposition, which will influence the way the follower thinks and feels. Leaders lead people with their hearts and not their minds.

Relationships.

Love is not just an act or a feeling, it is a commitment. Love grows with time, we actually choose to fall in love, it is never an accident. It is always based on a genuine relationship that focuses on respect for each other.

Whenever a person truly loves the other person, they grow self-less and think more of the other person. They give gladly and expect nothing in return. True love always focuses on deepening the relationship and acknowledges the importance of being patient with the other person.

Many powerful stories are told about influential people. These stories cover the full history of leadership, showing different character traits expressed by the people and the kind of influence they had on a mass of people.

Leadership Stories.

In the narrations we see the people giving service to the society and the benefits the people of that society receive. The stories really bring out leadership in the frame of our minds and with such stories the essesnce of leadership is best captured.

Leadership is a very human activity. Leadership has to do with some human activity applied on a particular task or organisation. Being a manager or having a high position in an organisation does not necessarily make you a leader. The things that someone does like inspiring others to accomplish a certain task is the accomplishment of a leader.
