In the journey of our life, we work for success. All this time whether young or old we are passionate about having success and reaching our goals. But it is not as smooth and easy as it looks. During our struggle toward our dreams, we face different obstacles and challenges. During that period we are working for the unknown. We don't know if we will win, we do not know if we will fail. Still, some people keep on going, facing every hurdle and achieve what they desire. What is the key point that makes a person successful? It is one's determination. The only thing that pushes a person to keep on doing is his/her will. They are determined to achieve what they truly desire no less than that. Their dreams are clear, the future is bright and success is sure.
“A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.” - Colin Powel
a. We should Always Be Willing to Pay the Price:
Dreaming is only a basic step. People think that if they dream they will soon achieve. While that is not the case. Achieving takes a sacrifice. You might have to sacrifice the most important of your aspects. But let’s be clear if your dream is not the most important thing then it is a waste. You should be willing to sacrifice for what you desire the most. Sacrifice just does not mean investing all your money well it depends it can take your savings as well. It may mean that you have to work 24/7, you might have to leave your friends behind, studying at nights while others sleep and whatever it takes.
“Success awaits those who steadfastly commit to any requisite sacrifice.” - Ken Poirot
Some people want to achieve their dreams but are unwilling to sacrifice. So that’s not how it is going to work. But there is another thing that you must remember. You should know the price that you aim desires as well as the price you can pay. If you don't know how much your dream desires than look up to others. There are probably many people having a similar dream than yours. Look what they have paid till success decides to keep in mind the price you can pay.
Some of them are going to be higher sacrifices then yours so what look up to those similar to your own capacity. But once you know never stop working for your goal. Always remember the three main roads that lead to success, dreaming, determination, and willingness to pay a price.it is your will that is going to make you survive through hurdles and hard rocks, it is your will that is going to make you keep on going when you give in, it is your will that is going to make you a successful person. Remember willingness is like a magic bean.
“Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.” - J.M. Barrie
b. Adversity and Discouragement Are Inevitable:
During your journey to success, you have to face failures and disappointments. The best tip is to learn from them. Failure is a great teacher. It teaches us what not to do. Even after failures keep on pursuing your dreams.
As Confucius wrote more than 4,000 years ago in China, “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”The book, Go and See, rightly claims that there is always uncertainty in our lives when it comes to our future. You will fear that what might happen and what might not. But always remember the lane where you give up is the closest to success.
