How Do We Define Success And What Stops Us From Achieving It?
On asking what success means to you, all of you will give a wide range of different answers to the question.
This is because success means something different to each and all of us, but on average they come into a few select categories; love, money, happiness and health.
Some success ideas involve individual success, while others involves a group, a country or the world as a whole.
If we begin by looking at the dictionary definition of success we see that it defines success as:
1. The achievement of something desired, planned or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work.
2. The gaining of fame or prosperity: an artist spoiled by success.
3. The extent of such gain.
4. One that is successful: The plan was a success.
5. Obsolete: A result or an outcome

So taking from this as the point to start from we can see that success is gained by achieving a desired outcome, and to do this we must initially come up with a clearly defined roadmap and then take the steps required to reach the 'destination' set.
So no matter what main category your ideal of success may lie in, whether it is love, wealth, health or happiness, the recipe to achieving your goal depends on how well you plan and believe in that plan and yourself.
If we take for example someone who is about to take a test that they want to pass, either physical like a driving test or knowledgeable like an exam you need to plan how you are going to achieve the best results and become a success.
For either of these things sitting down and drawing up a plan of steps, aspects to study and areas that need practice or more information, is imperative. When you are happy with the schedule which includes a timeline to fit around other aspects of your life, hang it up where you can see it constantly.
This will allow you consciously and sub-consciously be motivated at all times. Many people through no fault of their own are not motivated enough to succeed and until they take charge of themselves and find a driving source such as a desire they will not succeed.
It is all too easy to think of failure as an option or a definite outcome. This sends a message to the brain "why bother then? You are only going to fail!" this in turn will then lead to you failing anyway as you have doused the flames of desire before they even happen.
This is down to low self esteem brought on by a difficult and troubled past which has leaked into your present and will affect your future.
Finding the fire and helping it to burn will improve self worth, faith in your desire and allow you to actually succeed. Once you succeed at one thing you will find that you are able to stack up success more easily next time and the time after that.
Having just that one visual aide works wonders...you should try it sometimes, and you might too realize the power it will equip you with on your way to your own success.
