Passion and Action For Success

In order to attain success or to be successful, one must have Passion. Passion is defined as “a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something or about doing something”

Many people tried to be successful but failed to do so because they lack passion. Yes, they do the “things” which they think will bring them success or fortune, but the bottom-line is, they are not passionate about it. And this will bring down.

Action, on the other hand, is defined as “the accomplishment of a thing usually over a period of time, in stages, or with the possibility of repetition”

Even if you are passionate about something, if you don’t plan anything and take actions, it will be useless.

There’s a truth in the saying:

“Love what you do and you’ll never work in your life again”

When you love what you do, when you are passionate about it, when you are excited to do again and again, that’s the sign that you are on your way to success!

Again, passion without action is useless, but passion with action is success!

Tiny Steps For Success

"There is no one giant step that does it. It's a lot of little steps." ~ Peter A. Cohen

       Above is one of the many inspirational quotes around. When you want something, it will not happen just by taking one "giant step". You must take a step, a little step. From there take on more steps. But there is something, somehow, missing from it. It is not just about taking those tiny steps, but it is also about the direction to which your are going. Be sure that you are moving forward, towards what you want.

       When talking about success, many of us, and I mean it, MANY OF US, wants to be successful immediately. We want to take that one giant step to success. We want to get what we want as soon as possible. One reason may be because, we "see" that other people have succeeded already. What we fail to see, or realize, are the things they took to achieve the things they have. Many of them have had sleepless nights, early meetings, taken risks and failures, etc. We then see their final result and many of us wants to "jump" at it.

       But let me tell you. There are no shortcuts. There is such things as an "overnight success". There is no one giant step towards success. As Robert Collier says it, "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out."

       Here are some "tiny steps" which you can do achieve success:

• Read Daily
Start to read a book, preferably non-fiction. Read books about self-development, business, successful people. Here are three books I can refer for you to read: Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and The Meta Secret by Dr. Mel Gill
• Discuss Ideas
Find like-minded people. Discuss your ideas. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."
• Continuously Learn
Many people thought that when we graduate from school, we stop learning. But the truth is learning never stops. Life becomes our teacher. We will learn from things we do. We will learn from the people we encounter. We will learn from the failures.
• Goal-Oriented
Set yourself some goals. Also, make it SMARTER. Always go over the list of your goals to be motivated day-in and day-out. And, I also advice you to make a visual representation of your goals, make a dream board. Place it in a place where you can always see it.
• Embrace Change
The world is constantly changing. The places and people around you are changing. Those who can't embrace change are limiting themselves from growing.
"Change can be scary, but you know what's scarier? Allowing Fear to stop you from Growing, Evolving, and Progressing." ~ Mandy Hale
• Compliment
As much as possible, give someone a praise for what they have achieved. Complimenting others gives them more self-esteem. Knowing that they have done something good makes them continue to do what they are doing. Having these kind of people around you is a good environment for success.
• Forgive Others
Having a grudge on someone is not a good thing to have. Especially for your mind. Having this makes your mind unclear. Having an unclear mind prevents you to think properly. It will prevent you from getting successful. Forgive them and let your mind clear up.
• Accept Responsibility
You already have your goals, now you make definite plans and then execute them. If you have planned fails, take the responsibility for it. Don't blame other people. If your plan fails, move on. Re-plan and re-execute them until you achieve your goals.
• Sense Of Gratitude
Always be grateful for the things you have now. Be grateful for the people who are helping you achieve your goals. Be grateful for yourself because you made it here and now.
• Exercise & Diet
I always believe that if you are not healthy, you can't be successful. If you are unhealthy, you cannot plan well. If you cannot plan well, you will not execute anything to achieve your goals. And, whatever achievement or success you have, when your body is not healthy, it is worthless.
