Succcess is about you, not about other people. If you want to be successful in your life, you must focus on what matters to you. Do what matters to you. Do what you are good at. Do not follow the crowd. Follow your own path. If there is no way forward, make way for yourself. To do that, you must be for yourself.

In the words of Hillel, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?” So to be successful in your life, you must be for yourself. You must be for your dreams. If you have the courage to be for yourself, no one can be against you. But do not forget other people. They are important. And do not forget that success is not going to happen if you do not concentrate on what you are doing. Concentration is important. Do not let anything take your attention away from your goal. Author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy says, “No success is possible without the ability to practice sustained concentration on a single goal or task, in a single direction.” If you want to be successful, you must focus on what you are doing right now.

This Is What Happens When “You Follow Others Instead Of Being Yourself”

Benjamin Creme said, “No one can lead you. You are born to be aware of yourself, to know the Master in yourself.” Why are you not comfortable with yourself? Why are you not happy with your life? The answer is simple: because you are not “aware of yourself.” And to be comfortable with yourself, you must know who you are. Do not try to be like another person.

You are not born to imitate other people. You are here on this earth to make your own statement. No matter how you look, to know who you are, you must be aware of yourself. Because no one knows you more than you know yourself. Do not get busy try to defeat another person. Instead, why not focus on making yourself better than you were yesterday? Do not imitate anybody. You have what it takes to do what you are put here to do. According to Benjamin Creme, “If you follow others instead of being yourself, you lose your sparkle and cannot reflect the light of individuality. Without that light, there is no progress in life.” So if you want to reinvent your life, you must follow yourself, not other people.
