The road to success is not smooth. Making
something out of yourself in our high
rising society can be intimidating. With all
of the stress that the world puts on
becoming successful, we can often get
discouraged. Keeping a positive mind will
set you down the right track to obtain the
goals you aspire to achieve. Keeping these
10 thoughts in your mind daily will
simultaneously intertwine subtle excitement
for the future into your daily life and add
confidence into to your future.
10. Greatness does not happen overnight
As a society that has grown well-
acquainted to the demand for quick access,
we often forget that a career is not
something that we can receive at a drive-
thru. Of course it is frustrating to desire
something so badly and feel as if it will take
years to obtain it. But, that long wait
provides a perfect amount of time for us to
exercise our love for what we are looking to
achieve. If you continue to strive for the
same goal, no matter how long it takes,
then you are truly dedicated to what it is
that you want. Many give up due to the
strenuous working process day after day,
but if you keep that light at the end of the
tunnel in your vision, you will feel even
more satisfied when you reach it.
“Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to
accomplish something stand in the way of
your doing it. The time will pass anyway;
we might just as well put that passing time
to the best possible use.”
-Earl Nightingale
9. Rejection is inevitable, but it can not
stop you from what you want
Human beings fall victim to the fear of
rejection. Every day, millions of people
hesitantly step into the world of business,
fashion, medicine, etc. These hopefuls
ironically fear what can go wrong rather
than what can go right. While the
emptiness that rejection leaves us with is
like a gash to the heart, it is also a wake-up
call. Being turned down from one company
does not mean you are not suitable for the
job. Being turned away from your top
choice of college does not mean you do
not have potential or brains. It is up to YOU
to take that rejection, toss it to the side,
pick yourself up, and go out and try again.
Look at it as a bump in the road rather
than a dead end.
Let rejection build you up, not negatively
dictate your future. Afterall, Walt Disney
was fired from a newspaper for “lacking
creativity.”
8. You have far more to offer the world
than you think
We are all on this earth for a reason.
Sometimes it takes a few ups and downs to
find out that reason. It takes trial and error
to realize what you can accomplish. Every
one of us has the potential to change the
world. We all have something within us that
was set there at a young age and is waiting
to be released. Whether it be a component
of our personality that can turn the world
into a kinder place, a simple thought that
can create extraordinary products, or the
drive for success that can form a multi-
million dollar company, we all possess a
skill. Remind yourself that you have a
purpose in life and the world is waiting for
you to share it.
7. Opportunists set the grounds for
society
Those who go out there and make the best
of what life has to offer are the happiest.
You may get the feeling that there will be
no more job openings or internships in
your field by the time you are eligible for
them. Right? Wrong. We live in a
prosperous world that grows with every
passing minute. There will always be new
opportunities out there. If you mold
yourself into one of these kind of people,
you will eventually and surely receive what
it is you are looking for. Opportunities are
everywhere. Seek and you shall find.
6. Risks aren’t always bad
Taking your confidence and turning it I to
risk taking is an excellent attribute. Risks
are scary to most, for it takes one out of
their comfort zone. This being said,
stepping out of your comfort zone is a step
in the right direction. Life begins when you
remove yourself from what you’re used to.
Tell yourself that it’s okay to enter new
territories! Travel. Take chances. Do
something that you’re scared of. Set up a
job interview with a prestigious company.
Put yourself out there without fear.
5. Pick one present you want to reward
yourself with when you reach a
milestone
The road to your future doesn’t have to be
strictly stiff business. Giving yourself leeway
for pleasure will help you stay on track. Set
smaller goals on the road to your large
goal. When you land an internship, treat
yourself to a nice pair of shoes. When you
get a raise, reward yourself with that watch
you’ve always wanted. Praising yourself for
your accomplishments will help you stay
focused to keep working as hard as you
can. Remember that you are a human and
humans need self-fulfillment to progress.
4. Support System
If you’re lucky enough to have a single
person that believes in all that you are,
you’re lucky enough. Not every successful
person was fortunate enough to have a
handful of people that supported them
along every failure and triumph. If you
have a close knit group of people you can
rely on to boost you up when you’ve
reached your lowest, you should thank
them often. You may feel alone along the
road to success, but remember those that
are rooting for you. You can find this
support in parents, relatives, friends,
teachers, etc. Don’t take them for granted.
They are the ones who will be by your side
when you start from the bottom and when
you reach the top.
3. You are already halfway to your goal
just by dreaming of it- now get out and
do it!
There are millions of people that lack any
ambition. Those that do not strive for any
sort of success are the ones who will not
make it nearly as far in life as you will. By
experiencing failures and rejection, you are
steps ahead of those who don’t even try.
Remind yourself that you are already closer
to reaching your dreams and goals just by
having the courage to dream at all!
2. Remove “can’t” from your vocabulary.
Permanently.
It is one of the most cliché sayings but
holds much truth. When you restrict
yourself from something because you think
that you “can’t” do it, you are only
withholding great potential from the
matter. You CAN do it. We all are capable of
greatness. Recite “I CAN do this” to yourself
5 times when in doubt.
1. You are capable of anything and
everything
When you get up in the morning, don’t
rush to get a cup of coffee. Rather look in
the mirror and remind yourself that today
is another day to set forth towards your
goals. You have the ability and resources
you need. Release any negative thoughts
and remember that you are a strong
person who can satisfy your innermost
desires as soon as you make the first step
to do so. You have strength, courage,
wisdom, and individually thrust upon you.
Make it count.
