How to set yourself straight and hard on the path of success!

This is something very serious for me. I have been studying the reasons for success for a while already. You know, all the success books and such. But, most importantly, I have been observing my own life, close up and personal as it can get.

This is a very, very favourite subject of mine really. I hope you can relate to some extent and/or benefit from this article as well. ( I don't do this for myself only, I care about you guys, too)


One of the most important concepts to grasp here probably would be that success:

1. Builds on previous successes, it's like going on a certain path, but also having some kind of map in either your head or in your hands.

2. Is relative. The point you are right now is relative to all the other locations and/or states in the universe.

3. Is a process. You know the feeling when you are pumped, when you KNOW THAT YOU ARE ACHIEVING. And it is the best when you do and achieve on your own, your own terms, unrivaled, uninfluenced, unswayed by others, especially those who get knowhere with their lives and then get jealous when others are bright achievers.

4. Should not ever end. Continuing the previous point. This is a process, a fluid state you should be in, like a train that does not stop or an eternal engine even (I love physics). Nothing should really set you back, you might adjust your course a little bit, that's about it. (think a horse with blinders on if you cannot otherwise).


So yes, I have enjoyed some forms of success in my life. Previous successes give you confidence, grounds (or platoes, metaphorically speaking) to fall back on, confidence in your abilities and personal power as well as faith and discipline needed for future successes.

Let's talk a little about distractions!

They are everywhere. You see them, you hear them, you feel them. If your vision is not strong enough, you will not succeed past average.

If you do want to be great (above average at least), you will have to choose to sacrifice, not to fall into the many temptations that will inevitably arise as you walk your way. Call it carrying the cross of your choice or something like that.

So, choose your destiny wisely!
