Most of us want to be successful in life because that is what matters in western society. People look at someone and yardsticks are mentally brought out to mentally measure how high in the social ladder they have climbed. The higher on the ladder, the more we admire them for their achievements. Those of us who fail to get off the bottom rung are left looking up. Unhappy with our progress and discouraged from even trying because they believe that it is a race. Life is not a race, and we all meet the same end - even at the top. The question is do you want to see the view that those at the top have seen before you go? If the answer is 'yes' then you still have time to catch that view.
Health, wealth and social status.
Things that people often want in life always boil down to a few things. Health, wealth and social status. Health and wealth often go hand in hand. You need a certain level of wealth to stay healthy and likewise you need a certain level of health to achieve wealth. Social status, can be dependent to a certain extent on the previous 2 points, but it is also dependent on the kind of status that you want. Think of all 3 as feeding off one another, but which one should you feed to lead to the greatest symbiotic growth of all 3?
In my experience if you feed your health first, you can achieve the rest much more easily. If I ask you why this is, I'm sure you can figure out some good answers. The reason is health affects our ability to handle stress, how we view ourselves and how others view us. Impression and image is crucial to climbing the ladder. Once health is established, everything else is possible. What the mind wills, the body can respond easily, with little physical resistance.
Always remind yourself why you want to walk this path - else be led astray by the distractions of this world.
After health if we want to achieve wealth, we must have the right mindset. We all know money is needed in order to create money. How do we achieve more money if we don't have any to begin with? The answer is within the question. We all have money but it's the amount that we all seem to be concerned with. Even with a small amount, if you invest wisely, the power of compound growth will astound you. Think about what you should start investing in that will lead you to wealth. Depending on your goal you need to map out what is required and be willing to put slow consistent effort towards that goal. If you're not starting out with much, you should probably be investing in knowledge. Start reading on things that inspire you and lights the fire in you. Ask questions as you read and research more. Eventually you will reach a singularity and the path will appear before you. The rest is just a question of how much do you want that wealthy life style. Always remind yourself why you want to walk this path - else be led astray by the distractions of this world.
