Reaching the Success You Deserve

LIVE YOUR DREAMS is a motivational bestseller you will read that will provoke you to start pursuing your dream immediately. Of course, this is what a motivational bestselling book should do.

Written by Les brown, world’s leading motivational speaker, author  and trainer, Live Your  Dream doesn’t  only  assure you that you can make your dreams come true, it also instructs you on what you should do to make your dreams come true.

There are lots of success principles deliberated upon; and out of these principles, let me share with you just six out of the principles:

1.     Develop a Do-or-die Attitude

Success is a function of attitude. Master Motivator, Zig Ziglar said: “Your attitude determines your altitude.” The manner we go about pursuing our dream lives much to be desired. This accounts for the little achievement we record in life.

But Brown is saying, for us to make our dream come true, we must Develop a do-or-die attitude. “Burn your ship if you have to,” he said.

Buttressing his point, he narrated the story of a general who led his troop across the sea to invade a nation which troops outnumbered his. When the General observed that his troop were frightened and reluctant to face the enemy’s troops, he gave an order that they should burn their ships that conveyed them to the territory.

Thereafter, he commanded, “We win or we die!” with no way of retreating, they were motivated to fight. They fought and they won in spite of the fact that they were outnumbered!

The lesson brown is teaching is that if we develop a “do-or-die attitude” in the pursuit of our dream, nothing can defeat us; we will make our dreams come true.

2.   Do More than You are Paid

Our attitude to work is of paramount importance to our success in life. Our input determines our output. And our wages depends on our output. Whether we are self-employed or employees, the fact is, those who get promoted or who get ahead are those who put in more effort than they are earning.

You may think no one is noticing how you go about your job, business, or professional practice, but the fact is, there’s someone out there taking notice of your contribution. This behoves you to “Do more than you are paid for.” By so doing, you not only acquire more experience, you attract to yourself higher pay, promotion or higher paying jobs.

When an establishment is downsizing, the only sacred cows that will not lose their jobs are those that are contributing more than they are paid.

3.   Set Standards for Yourself

One of the qualities truly successful persons have in common is that they set standards for themselves. A man that does not set a standard for himself will always settle for anything. People who settle for anything will never go beyond the level of mediocrity.

Never settle for anything, never settle for average. Set standard of excellence for yourself. This is the standard all successful people set for themselves. They want the best in anything. When your standard is very high, your quality of life will equally be high.

Brown’s advice is: “Develop the habit of setting standards that others will measure themselves by.”

4.   Go Where there is No Part

Come up with a novel idea today and experts will tell you it is unrealistic since no such idea has ever been implemented. The fact that an idea is new and has never been implemented before does not mean it is unrealistic.

People normally take the path that leads to somewhere but rarely go to where there is no path. The reason is because they believe it is easier to go to a place where there is a path to follow.

But on the journey to success, it is not necessary that you go where the path may lead. You can take off any day, anywhere, anytime, and leave a trail. 

Where there are paths today, there were times there was no paths there. Some persons took it upon themselves to create the paths which others are following today. Get up, roll up your sleeves and start charting a course for yourself, leaving a trail for others to follow.

As brown advises, “Make this your   motto: Do not go where the path may lead, but go where there is no path and leave a trail.”

5.   Nothing is Too Much When  Much is at Stake

A famous sports coach once said that most athletes do not give their best and that they always reserve their best within them even in crucial tournaments. And this accounts for the dismal performance of such athletes in tournaments. Super successful athletes do not gamble with the idea of putting in little effort in any tournament. They go all out.

They know that much is at stake and if they must achieve much, they must go all out and put in their best.  So, the lesson to grab here is: IF MUCH IS AT STAKE AND YOU REALLY WANT IT, THEN, YOU MUST GO ALL OUT AND PUT IN YOUR BEST. Only the best is good enough.

6.   Embrace the Morning

“People bound for greatness,” says Brown, “jump out of bed and embrace the morning.”

Dear reader, what is your passion? What is it you want to achieve? If you are serious about life, there must be something that will inspire you to get out of bed early to pursue it.

If nothing inspires you to jump out of your bed to strive for greatness, then, it could be that you are not yet ready to become the best that God wants you to be.

As Brown puts it, “You don’t tell truly HUNGRY people to do their homework or to set high standards or to go at it massively. They realize those are essential steps in reaching their goals.”

The   keyword here is: HUNGRY. To achieve greatness, we must desire it passionately. It is only then that we can have the motivation to jump out of bed early and embrace the great day that the Lord has made.

Until I come your way soon, go and live victoriously!

Recommendation

The journey to success   is never smooth. Whether   we like it or not, we will always encounter adversity, difficulty, opposition, and obstacles that may weaken our morale and make us turn back. As such a time, what you need to get back on track and continue your journey is MOTIVATION. Without motivation, success may be a   mirage.

Grab a copy of Les Brown’s bestselling book, LIVE YOUR DREAMS. LIVE YOUR DREAMS will not only help you find your passion, it will get you agitated, restless and provoke you to achieve greatness in life.
