Success compassAre you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong?

Success comes to those who wait, they say. As far as you understand, simple waiting is not enough to bring you luck, happiness and success. So, maybe it is high time to change your attitude to everything and everyone around, and stop doing those things that prevent you from becoming successful?

What are they actually?

How a Small, Consistent Effort Lets You Achieve Goals You Only Dreamed About

Journey of a thousand miles quote by Lao Tzu“The journey of a thousand miles begins and ends with one step.” – Lao Tzu

Have you ever given up on a goal because it seemed so far away?

Perhaps you’ve been on diet after diet – only to give up each time.

Maybe you’ve thought about studying part-time – but it’ll take you years to get the qualification you want.

Strive to Always Move Forward

Jim StovallIf you remember anything from your geometry class in school, it’s probably the fact that the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line.

Moving forward along that straight line always represents the most efficient, productive, and profitable course of action, assuming that you have picked your destination point wisely.

Recently, I heard about the artwork in the design on an Australian coat-of-arms. There are two animals indigenous to Australia that appear on that coat-of-arms. They are the kangaroo and the emu. These two animals aren’t too much alike, but they do share one unique characteristic.

Be Fascinated at Work by Cultivating Curiosity

Jody Urquhart - motivational speakerMake your job and the people around you more interesting by cultivating your curiosity.

Many people have had the experience of thriving in their work up until the point that it starts to become repetitive, routine and boring.

20 Tips on How To Use Lucid Dreaming and Become More Successful in Real Life

Lucid dreaming is the ability to make up your own dreams. You can create yourself in your dreams, and motivate yourself to achieve personal goals, find new solutions for your problems or simply fulfill your desires.

Imagine how it feels to have the money to do what you want, when you want to. In your dream, you will be rich, confident and successful. The next morning you will still feel the confidence and power you had while dreaming. Before you know it, opportunities will come your way that will enable you to become the successful person you dream about.

Seeking Greener Pastures – Making Decisions Before Crossing The Other Side

Greener pastures. These words draw into mind the promise of something better that lies ahead. This brings the possibility of changing lives and fulfilling something that we’ve always dreamed of. But come to think of it, is it always greener on the other side? Will getting over the other side of life make us happy and fulfilled?

But this should be done considering the situation and analyzing the consequences as well. In life, I’ve made rash decisions, in the hopes that things will turn out for the best. More often than not, these snap decisions led to consequences that I have to put up with.

5 Characteristics of Successful PeopleWe see them everywhere — starring in TV commercials, delivering TED Talks, and smiling on magazine racks.

Great leaders are often synonymous with tremendous wealth and prestige. Yet, remarkably enough, most weren’t born into affluence. Many faced seemingly insurmountable odds and earned their red carpet time and exclusive interviews through hard work, intelligence, and tenacity.
