Journey towards success

Updated: Mar 11, 2023


If we take a look around, we would find that every single person is in a constant state of struggle. It is not merely any ordinary scrap, but it is a journey toward ultimate success.


Some people take success as becoming a millionaire whereas many people find it as an attainment of definite peace. Thus, the question arises whatsoever the picture of success we have in our mind, what is the actual route to achieving it?


What is to be successful?



When we look into the history of extraordinary expeditions of extremely ordinary people, it becomes explicit that success is not contingent on materialistic elements prevalent in the world. It doesn’t depend on the family background or the socio-economic status of any individual. It is not even dependent on the lifestyle; the kind of clothes we wear or the food we eat.


Success simply is connected with the mind and heart.


When the mind and the heart are tied together with the will and determination of achieving one single aim then no single power in the world can stop an individual from achieving his dream.


Failure



Failure is one of the first things that everyone on this journey would encounter. Failure is that important phase that proves to be a life lesson in the long run. Whosoever manages to bear this failure with fortitude and stoicism would fly with bright colors.


The Stories of Famous People


Bringing into light famous people like Thomas Edition, the notion becomes significant that no matter how many times you fail, do not quit. When asked about the journey of Edison who was considered to be a dumb kid in childhood, he said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”.



Likewise, Michael Johnson is one of the great basketball players who was detained from the basketball team in high school.


In addition to Johnson, Abraham Lincoln is another name who was a complete failure throughout his life but now it is said that “If Lincoln had quit when the going got tough, the world might be a very different place”.


J.K. Rowling is one the biggest and most popular names whose life proved that success is not confined to one place, community, or idea but can come to anyone and at any time.


And above all of them, the most genius person in the entire world, Albert Einstein, was thought to be mentally handicapped throughout his life. His famous saying sums up all the confusion in a nutshell “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”.


Success, therefore, is not a piece of cake. Collin Powell said, “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.”


The key!


In this struggle the major things that success demands are patience and tolerance.


Unfortunately, the youth of the modern world lacks both of these significant traits. In a world where things have become so fast and dissolute, it is not easy to hold onto the rope of endurance.


To develop certain traits in personality, one has to start with self-discipline. This term means that to initiate this struggle, one has to make up one’s mind. The notion implies that setting personal goals and objectives to achieve a big aim is the first and foremost step. Once the aim will be clear, certain objectives are supposed to be set and achieved on daily basis. When the short-term goals will be achieved, one step towards the long-term goal will be taken. Now the query raises what exactly is that element that triggers to achieve daily goals? Here comes up the second pillar which is routine. When every second, and every minute of each day is properly planned then the work automatically turns smooth. For streamlining the routine, a mentor can be involved for better psychological and emotional support.


Final words


The elements discussed above are those which are significant in the initiation of this journey. Once a person steps into it then focus, concentration, self-belief and willpower hold his mind and heart together.


It is noteworthy to keep oneself away from distractions by sticking to a goal-oriented approach.


Once a person sticks to these little yet mighty instructions the product would be in a form of ultimate success.
