measure your goals

Who do you think is responsible for your successes, or the ability to achieve them? One word: You. Who else has the power, the will, the ability to make things happen, if not you yourself? What is this saying? Success and failure depends entirely on your own individual effort, and has nothing or very little to do with the world around you. Everything else is an excuse or a distraction and you should learn to faze them out, give yourself focus and rely on yourself to bring you head and shoulders past everyone in the all too familiar rat race in the world today.

This is a guide on ‘how to achieve success in life‘ but it also recognizes that every individual is different. So this is more of a general formula on how most of you out there can change the way things get done around you and translate your efforts into real success. I think a very important thing is to know what you want and when you want it. Most of us are just wandering through life, uncertain of what we want and have no specific goals.

The fact is, most of us are like restless spirits, ghouls that wander aimlessly through life, with no purpose other than to simply ‘exist’. This should not be the way. Success is sometimes all about specifics and you have to be exact when you measure your goals. Ask yourself, in a specific manner, what you want, when you want to achieve it, how you’re going to get there. But most importantly, ask yourself if you are capable of realizing those dreams being the way that you are now.

Do you have to make any changes in your life? Be specific! Know what you want. Stop being fickle and keep changing your mind every 2 seconds. There is not enough time in a lifetime to keep hoping for a better alternative. Sometimes you have to take what you can get and make the best out of it for yourself. Grab any opportunity to come your way and make it work for you. Another thing is to wash away all the fear you ever had. It’s not easy, but it should be something you should work towards. Fear drives us and rules us and routes us from our successes.

Never be fooled into thinking that you don’t have what it takes, that the risks are too great, that you would be foolish to even try. Don’t be like the millions of uninspired people out there who settle for second best. Most have done that, settling for mediocrity and an average life. The rest embraced their fear and took what courage they had to bring them forward. They are those who succeed and the rest - live in a life of convention and monotony - wondering each and every day ‘what if?’

So you see, your destiny is in your own hands. Successes, failures, every circumstance in life can be determined by your own actions. If you wait for the tide to turn to lead you to safety, then you will be lost at sea - not knowing what to do, only with the fear of drowning as your closest companion and worst enemy.
