Many life coaches & self appointed gurus has caused destruction of entire forest and mercilessly blackening of millions of pages by writing so many books on how to be successful in life, at the end of the day the only secret revealed is that there is no secret, there is no perfect plan which works for everyone.
There may be no precise formula for success though, there are many ways to ward off the dreaded evil called failure, since most of the people in the world has tasted failure once or many times & got around it anyone can tell u how u can try to avoid it..
- Set realistic goals – everyone don’t have the potential to be a astronaut I saw this line on a calendar, I wish I saw it few years earlier it may have saved me from many troubles which arisen when I set a unrealistic goal and toiled to achieve it, u should very thoroughly evaluate yourself before setting your goal for anything major which may cause u many troubles, use your previous history for example if you are not good at studies don’t set your goal which will require lots of studies, it seems common sense but its very rare in real world, if u are emotionally overwhelmed or can’t decide, take help of a friend who is known for honesty and calls spade a spade. A realistic goal is something that even your hardened enemy believes you can achieve.
- Round up resources - when a realistic goal is set its not difficult to obtain the necessary resources to achieve it, it may be money to pay the bills or the will to get up early in the morning but u must be absolutely sure that u have it even before taking the first step, you won’t reach anywhere unless you know the address (your goal) & necessary transportation (resource).
- Get advise - found someone who has successfully achieved the goal which you want to achieve for yourself do whatever it takes to get some second hand experience of whatever they have gone through, the experience won`t be entirely different for u.
- Make a plan - now the goal is set & the resources by our side we can make a plan of events like a grocery list, this list is by no means final its just a small outline of what to expect, don`t leave anything to chance or fate but things rarely go as planned therefore there will be many mistakes and setbacks, you have to make amends for them beforehand, being prepared will reduce the amount of stress in tough times.
- Trouble-worthiness – it’s the worth of a goal for which you want to go through all the troubles, like leaving the comfort of your house to go to a college for a degree or repairing a roof leak, since if its not worth the trouble u will abandon the task in middle of everything, so ask yourself honestly the importance and worth of the goal.
- Start working - now u have prepared yourself the best u might, get down to work with all your energy & efforts , try to give it your 100% as they say do it right the first time and do not give any excuses to avoid the work once u have started it.
If you fail even after giving your hundred percent to the task, then its time of reassessment of the goal and resources, since there is no sure formula for success only few steps to avoid failure.
