In this post, we will think over the seven secrets of success. In an interesting book: Destination success, the author (Dwight Bain) bring out seven secrets of success as follows:
Secret 1: Define what success means to us?
If you think wealth = success, please rethink!
For many people, success may mean spending more time with family or success may mean freedom or success may mean reduced weight or any other thing. Hence, we need to define what success means to us.
Secret 2: Success can be found any where
Second secret of success is to remember: Success can be found any where, every where – even in our every day lives. Success is a mental resolve to keep going through any and all types of circumstances. Success does not mean ‘out there’. Success may mean ‘inside myself’.
Secret 3: Break the self imposed barriers
It is said that ‘Impossible’ stands for: ‘I m possible!’
One must avoid self destructive behavior in daily lives like negative thinking, materialism, thinking short about one self etc. To be successful, limiting behavior needs to be identified, watched and cured!
Secret 4: Developing a personal discipline to find destiny
Read books, listen to successful people, find mentors, attend courses and be disciplined – this is recipe to be successful. All successful people take full responsibility of their lives. It is said that if we keep on doing what we are doing, we will keep on getting the results we are getting! To be successful, new skills must be learnt and applied.
Secret 5: Belief is hidden source of inner strength
- There are three steps which we can follow to turn our believes into our inner strength:
1. Awareness: We need to be aware of what we tend to believe e.g. I can’t pass this, its too difficult
2. Honest assessment: Step out of yourself and assess the belief: Is it correct?
3. Take action: We need to take aggressive action to change the believe and achieve our goal.
Secret 6: Opportunity
Successful people have discovered how to find opportunity regardless of the circumstances. Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
Secret 7: Excellence
Whatever we do, we need to achieve professional excellence in the field. If we are doing job in finance, we need to be the best accountant. If we are studying, we need to be the best student.
