THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS LIES WITHIN YOU

THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS LIES WITHIN YOU
By Joe D
The word success means a lot of different things to different people. It's something that we dream about, but do we really know what it is? That is the first question you should ask yourself if you want to be successful. What does success mean to you? Most experts agree that visualizing what we want to accomplish is one of the best ways to prepare ourselves for the situations that we may encounter on our road to our dreams. If you don't even know what success looks like to you, then you can't really visualize it, can you?
The first key to achieving your dreams and being successful is defining what success means to you. To some people success means owning their own business. For others it's owning their own home. For some it's having a million dollars, and the list goes on. Once you're able to define what it means to you, success becomes easier to achieve. Now that you have that knowledge of what you want your destination to be, you can focus your efforts on getting there. A lot of times people complain about being unhappy, but don't even know what it would take to make them happy. Unless you spend the proper time analyzing what you really want, your chance of being truly happy is slim.
In our lives we face tough decisions, and a lot of times it means that we have to make difficult choices and compromise our wants for our needs. These challenges and obstacles are what build character in a person and keep them driven to succeed. If you look at the life stories of other successful people, you'll notice that all of them have faced (and eventually overcome) struggles. There's a reason they say nothing worth having ever comes easy. Otherwise everyone would be happy. One of the biggest reasons people get off track is because they give up too quickly. Rarely do our attempts at something new result in instant success. Those with the will and determination to push through are the ones that get rewarded in the end.
The key to achieving your success is to find a way to balance the necessities of your now with the excitement of your future and to keep your eyes on your dreams through the peaks and valleys of the journey. Few people are allowed the freedom to go after their dreams without having to worry about making ends meet in the meantime. So what does it mean for you? It means that more than likely you will have to work twice as hard to reach your vision of success. Balancing your "normal" life with trying to build your "dream" life is a challenge that a lot of people have a hard time handling. It can be rough on you and rough on your family. That's why having a strong support system of family and friends is crucial to your ability to succeed.
Finding success in your life lies within yourself. You are the one that defines success, and you are the one that must show the leadership, will, determination, and passion to see it through. While we lean on our family and friends for support, that support is only in support of our own strength. The great thing about following your dreams is that most of the time it shouldn't feel like work. Use the excitement to get you going, and the steady progress you see to keep you strong during tough times. In the end, you hold the key to your own success. There is a lot of opportunity out there to do just about anything, don't hold your life back from being everything it could be.
