5 Steps to Achieving Success in Life

1. Set Goals: “Would you tell me, please,
which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you
want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t
much care where,” said Alice. “Then it
doesn’t matter which way you go,” said
the Cat. - dialogue between Alice and the
Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll’s book,
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
2. Don’t Fear Failure: “I failed my way to
success.” - Thomas Edison
So often we are taught in our lives that
failing is a bad thing. Failure is almost
always placed at odds with success. Yet
without failure few would know the way
to success. No one ever did it right all the
time. But most that have experienced
some success have failed at some point.
3. Take Risks: “Life is either a daring
adventure or nothing at all.” - Helen
Keller
Life is more fun and exciting when we
take risks. At the end of the day there is
truth to the statement, “nothing
ventured, nothing gained.” But be
calculated - risk should not be taken for
risk’s sake. Opportunity may knock, but
it may not stand around very long. Be
ready to go on an adventure at the knock
of a door. A successful life includes not
having regrets for not having taken
enough risks.
4. Don’t Stop Learning : “Live as if you
were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you
were to live forever.” - Mahatma Gandhi
The more you know, the more you
realize you do not know. Formal
education just scratches the surface and
is a drop of our capacity to learn.
Knowledge, no matter how insignificant
it may appear to be, gives us a reason to
get out of bed every morning. Make it a
habit to learn something new each day.
Treat knowledge like a new friend. Life
is so much more satisfying when we
make a new friend every day.
5. Do Not Settle: “If you haven’t found it
yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve
Jobs
Success is a process – not an event. Some
goals may happen overnight. Others
require more time, energy, and
alignment of some planets. Do not get
discouraged. Keep plotting forward with
your plan. Evaluate your progress and
make course corrections. Keep your goal
top of mind and keep your feet moving.
Michael Jordan once said, “If you're
trying to achieve, there will be
roadblocks. I've had them; everybody
has had them. But obstacles don't have
to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't
turn around and give up. Figure out how
to climb it, go through it, or work around
it.”
