How to be successful

Like everyone else I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about why some people are so successful in life, and what factors in success are under more personal control than the others? Successful people might be intelligent, or they may have good social upbringings, or they may be naturally energetic, open, and positive. Some good examples of well known success stories of people that I have come up with while reading and watching documentaries throughout the years would be Michael Jordan, Thomas Edison, Eleanor Roosevelt, and last but not least Henry Ford. Some factors of success are making decisions and taking action, doing things even when they do not feel like it, doing one thing at a time, having found a purpose for life, and do not get distracted.

Firstly, making decisions and taking action, successful people make a decision whether it was right or wrong because it is always better to make a decision and taking action then not doing anything at all. As Franklin Roosevelt said:” It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”

Secondly, doing things even when they do not feel like it, a lot of us back down when we do not want to do something, even if it might bring a wonderful experience or a goal, to be successful does not mean you do something if you like it and if not you do not, they do not always like doing some of these things but they have to do them anyways.

Thirdly, they do one thing at a time, they set out many goals but only focus on one until they reach it then and they do the next thing until it is done. By doing so they focus a hundred percent on a single task at a time, which helps them to get it done quicker and better.

‪Fourthly, they have a purpose in life, it is always about the bigger picture, they set out a huge goal in life which keeps them going on and being motivated while others may get tired or just go on doing something other then what they set for themselves. Successful people love what they do, and when they are on the right track they seem to be more motivated and push harder through life.

‪Lastly, do not get distracted, when other people get too caught up in their everyday life, and have fun by doing unnecessary things successful people do not, they really focus on actually doing what is important and what needs to be done.

Conclusion, making decisions and taking action, doing things even when they do not feel like it, doing one thing at a time, having found a purpose for life, and do not get distracted, are a couple of steps on how to be a successful person. Some good examples of well known success stories of people that I have come up with while reading and watching documentaries throughout the years would be Michael Jordan, Thomas Edison, Eleanor Roosevelt, and last but not least Henry Ford. Like everyone else I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about why some people are so successful in life, those were the few steps that I have came out with.
