Success is not about what other people are doing. It is not about what other people have. It is not about how other people live their lives. Success is about you. It is about how you see yourself, how you treat yourself, and how you take care of your life.
If you want to be successful, don't compare yourself to others. Because that is what we always do. And we will never stop doing it.
Don't compare yourself to others. There are many opportunites out there. Instead of comparing yourself to others, why not go out there and create your own success?
Here are four simple ways you can do that: Before we start, remember that success is personal.Accept who you are. It sounds simple, but it is difficult for most people to do. According to Mike Iamele, 'When we accept who we are, our whole selves, our complete selves, we learn how to tap into our inherent strengths.'' Real success starts with self-discovery. If you do not know yourself, you won't be able to help yourself. Yes, it is hard. But no matter what, if you want to be successful, you must accept yourself.
Face your fears. Fear is real. But do not give in to it. Do not let it prevent you from living your life, your true life. Whatever it is that you have been postponing, now is the right time to go do it. Do not move away from your dreams. If you want to create a lasting success for yourself, you must move past your fear. To do that, according to Mike, 'is to see where they came from...'' And if you do not deal with it, if you do not cultivate the courage to manage it, you are not going to achieve your success. To quote Mike Iamele, 'If you do not face your fears, you'll never know what you can actually do.'' To achieve success, you must move past your fears.Find what you are good at and do it. We do well at different things. Whatever you are good at, that is where your strengths are. And if you want to create your own success, you must follow your own path. You must do what you are good at, meaning what you can do really well- effortlessly. According to Payal Kadakia, 'Everyone must come to their own realization in their own way and follow their own path. We can't follow someone else's blueprint. Our answer lies within us.'' If you want to be successful, you must follow your own path.
Do what makes you happy. Happiness lies within us. So how do we reconnect with it? In the words of Jenna Kutcher, 'If you need a place to start weaving a little more joy into your life, pay attention to your curiosities: the things you Google, the forums you could read for hours, the thoughts that nag you, the YouTube videos you watch, the vision you hold for a someday version of you. The things you are curious about or are aching to do are not random, they just might signal an area where you can try, play, experiment, and expand.''
To be authentic, you need to be able to stand up for yourself, for your life, for your relationships,
and for your future. If you are not for yourself, then you are against yourself.
If you want to be yourself, your real self, then practice the following strategies every day.
Always tell yourself the truth. In his book Authentic: How to be Yourself And Why it Matters,
Stephen Joseph writes, 'To be authentic, we need to be able to face up to the truth
about ourselves, no matter how unpleasant we might find it.'' If you respect yourself, others will
respect you. If you are not true to yourself, if you are not being honest with yourself,
you are not deceiving other people; you are deceiving yourself. And it is not good for your
growth and development. Because you can't help yourself. So if you want to move forward
in your life, be an authentic person, no matter what.
Always take responsibility for your life. It is your life. You can do whatever you want with it.
That includes taking responsibility for your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions. When it comes to you,
you are responsible for everything in your life. In the words of Stephen Joseph, 'Authentic people
take resposibility for for their choices in life.'' If you want to be successful, you must be the boss
of your life. If not, you will find it difficult to express your real self.
Do not follow the crowd. If you want to be different, you must do things differently. If you want
a different result, you must think differently. To do that, you must be able to stand on your own.
You must be able to live with yourself. Do not try to fit in. Instead of trying to fit in, why not try to fit out?
To quote Stephen, 'Authenticity requires you to be able to overcome our desires to fit in and be
part of the crowd.'' If you want to grow, don't work to be like other people, work to be like yourself.
Because you can never be like another person. So trying to do it is a total waste of your time.
Always pay attention to how you feel about yourself. In her book Now Go Out There and get curious, Mary Karr writes, 'Don't make the mistake of comparing your twisted-up insides to people's blow-dried outsides.'' That is what you should always do. Do not worry about what others are posting on
their social media accounts. Focus on your own life. Focus on how you want to achieve your dreams.
That is more important than comparing yourself to other people. Accodring to Stephen, 'Authenticity
requires that we are aware of what's going on in our bodies; that we are not only attentive to our
feelings and mindful of our thinking but to all that is happening within us.'' Do not ignore your internal self,
no matter what.
