We all have different definitions of success in life and different ideas of what it is to be successful. Some of us want to be successful in work, to make a good career, and achieve professional recognition. Some want to find love, make a stable family, have many and healthy kids. Others want to be entrepreneurs, to create a startup, make a fortune, to be influencers, to receive an award. Whatever our ambitions in life are, at the end we want to feel satisfied, secure, and loved.
So, how to achieve that? How could you be successful as the person you are right now at this very moment?
Don’t worry. There is a way and in this book, I will share with you some simple steps (8 to be exact). They could help you to achieve everything you want in life by discovering and using your own magic superpowers.
What you need to do is to find your Passion, prepare a Plan, be Patient, Perseverant, and Proactive!
And buy yourself a notebook and a pen, because they will be your best friends on your journey.
To work for your success is pretty much the same as to prepare for a journey to an exotic country. You feel that you want to go and you make a decision. After that, you set up a plan where you want to go according to your dreams and abilities. You make some preparations – save money; clear your schedule; book a ticket and accommodation; upgrade your knowledge. While you are counting the days, you are imagining how wonderful it will be when you go there and this mental picture keeps your everyday motivation.
But let’s see what some of the already successful people think about success:
Sir Richard Branson, entrepreneur, says: "My definition of success? The more you're actively and practically engaged, the more successful you will feel."1
Elon Musk, entrepreneur: “Constantly think about how you could be doing things better and keep questioning yourself.”2
Deepak Chopra, spiritual teacher, says: "Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals."3
Thomas Edison, inventor, says: "Success is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration."4
Stephen Covey, writer, says: "If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience, you will find your definition of success."5
