Recently I watched a video on Youtube entitled "The Key To Success". The man in the video answered the key to success is simple. "Try Harder." I would agree with him 100% on that concept. But I also believe there are other things that are required for success. One of those things ladies and gentlemen are "Goals". Little ones and huge ones, they both play a major puzzle piece in your key to success. Think of success like this: You have an undone puzzle with the pieces all over the floor. Not only that but, those pieces are mixed in with puzzle pieces from 10 different puzzles. It is major hard work to find what pieces go where. That hard work goes into the "Try Harder" or "Never Give Up" analogy. Then the correct puzzle pieces can be known as your goals in life. Once you get them all together into a beautiful picture of a sunset, you have truly reached success. Boom, I just blew your mind, didn't I?
I will help you a little with organizing your goals. I like to keep my goals in something called a "Bucketlist". Perhaps you've seen the movie. A Bucket-list is basically an imaginary bucket full of the goals you want to achieve in life. Because humans naturally have so many goals it takes a bucket to fit them in. There is a website I will list at the end of this post, where you can start your own online bucketlist, and I highly encourage it. Perhaps you would like someones else's goal, so make it your goal. Or set your own goals. I will also link my very own bucketlist. Keep in mind there are goals I've already accomplished that I didn't find the need to put in my bucketlist. I would say the same thing to my followers, only put your future goals in the bucket; the other ones have already left the bucket. However, there is a feature where you can mark an item from your bucketlist and detail how you accomplished the goal that which is optional. If it motivates you, feel free to do it.
The final tip I can give all my readers is "Do what makes you happy". I give this tip to my mother as she has always instilled this life value to me. Life is one big game. Play what makes you feel happy. Don't think of life as a job or a burden, or life will soon pass you by. I love water and the military. Therefore it only makes sense I have a job in one or the other. Perhaps both. These goals and passions make each and every one of us different. That's once again where the bucketlist comes in handy. Maybe one day you want to follow your passion in cooking, so attend a cooking school. Perhaps you are just interested in cooking, don't let that interest fade, take a college class on cooking. Maybe, it's a passion in disguise.
For my Christian Readers I feel God is also a huge factor in success. If you put him first he will always put you first. Don't forget he's there to help you. The one who allows you to fail is yourself and the devil. Remember the quote from the bible Proverbs 3:6 "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This quote is especially important if you believe in god. As it gives you trust and motivation, that if you put god first he will surely give you success in return.
My quotes for the day are
- “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” - This quote is said by Confucius an ancient Chinese Philosopher. Once again it goes into the "Try Harder" analogy. Remember kids, the goals that are worth it, are usually harder to get too.
- "If life were a string, without goals it would be a yarn ball." - This quote is from myself. Hopefully noone will plagiarize, as it is very valuable to me. And I shared it with everyone in hopes it will help someone. In short it means that without goals, your life is unguided and often can result in failure and feeling lost.
