\u201cSuccess is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of\nenthusiasm. It is not defined by wealth but by contentment. Success depends on\nhard work, sustained toil, determination and perseverance. It is not a question\nof luck. Remember that success is not the key to happiness but happiness is the\nkey to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Our\nbest successes  are often accompanied\nby  our greatest disappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of us are not willing to try but want to enjoy the fruits of\nsuccess without any hard work, sacrifice or struggle. Life has its own\nstruggles. These struggles  motivate us\nto move forward. Adversity always presents opportunities for introspection. To\nsucceed in life and achieve results, you must master three mighty\nforces\u2014Desire, Belief and Expectation. Many a time, when we are confronted with\na problem, we analyse and get stuck up with it
\nrather than finding a solution to it. Sometimes from the remains or wreckage,\nwe find a hidden opportunity. Our response to our struggles decides how we move\nforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that can stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you.\nIt is our attitude to deal with adversities and circumstances that helps us to\nachieve success. The road that leads to success is not easy, we need to face\nhardships, disappointments, breakdowns, losses and physical and emotional\npains. India\u2019s struggle for independence was never easy. It was not in a day\nthat we gained independence. Many movements were launched and innumerable\npeople laid down their lives. It was not easy for them as well. We are often\nnot ready to come out of our comfort zone \nto achieve success. Our fears hold us back and often stand as a\nstumbling block when we try to move ahead. Having a courageous spirit is\nimportant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You alone are the captain of your soul and decider of your destiny.\nOthers may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you. Your decisions\ntoday will follow you tomorrow. You have to toil hard, lift the load and\nsweat  profusely to reach the goal. Try\nnot to compare yourself with others as individual goals vary. Our body has many\norgans, each one has different roles and we cannot say that eyes are more\nimportant than the ears. The vital organs like heart, brain or kidneys cannot\nbe seen yet they function continuously. We should not be discouraged as each of\nus is gifted with different talents. We need to discover them and search for a\ncreative solution. We need to have a sense of purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The certainty of life is that it is uncertain. Nick Vujicic was born\nwith no arms and legs, but that did not stop him from being successful. Today\nhe is a motivational speaker and continues to inspire and touch the lives of\nmany. It is the choices that we make that lead to success. When life gives\nlemons, make lemonade out of them. We need to access risks and laugh at life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is not an accident. The choices that we make determine our\nsuccess. We can either choose self-defeat and self-pity or self-motivation and\nself-encouragement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desire to succeed in life should motivate us to move forward. Many a\ntime it is because of our attitude that we are not able to come up in life. We\nsometimes lack our desire to come up and take life as it comes but until and\nunless we have a desire, we remain in our state of self-comfort. Life is not a\nbed of roses. We should have a desire that burns like a fire which helps us to\nmove forward. \u201cDespair is the conclusion of fools\u201d as said by Benjamin\nDisraeli. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can improve our attitude by self-coaching through affirmations.\nThese affirmations send a positive response to the subconscious mind. Joseph\nMurphy\u2019s Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em> is a wonderful book that\ndiscusses that subconscious obstacles often prevent us from achieving our\ngoals. His work demonstrates that we can overcome fears, phobias and bad\nhabits, to effect physical healing and promote overall well-being and\nhappiness.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failing is a part of life which teaches us many things. Without\nfailing, success is almost impossible. We need to learn how to bounce back from\nfailures. The work of J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter series was\nrejected by 12 publishers before going on to fame and fortune. You may stumble,\npeople will doubt you and you need to build yourselves from the stones thrown\nat you. We need to have a positive attitude. Achievement is not just about the\nhappy, shiny things\u2014it is also about withstanding tough times and challenging\nsituations. Resilience demonstrated under pressure is perhaps the darker side\nof achievement, but is in many ways just as important as the more obvious\nmarkers of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As motivational philosopher Jim Rohn so aptly puts it, \u201cYou can\u2019t\nhire someone else to do your push-ups for you.\u201d You must do them yourself if\nyou are to get any value out of them. If you want to be successful, you have to\ntake 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life. This\nincludes the level of your achievements, the results you produce, the quality\nof your relationships, the state of your health and physical fitness, your\nincome, your debts, your feelings\u2014everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nwill never become successful as long as you continue to blame someone or\nsomething else for your lack of success. If you are going to be a winner, you\nhave to acknowledge the truth\u2014it is you who took the actions, thought the\nthoughts, created the feelings, and made the choices that got you to where you\nnow are. It was you! The person with the negative attitude sees limitations.\nThe person with the positive attitude sees possibilities. \u201cSuccess is a state\nof mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success\u201d, says\nDr. Joyce Brothers.Success is the effect generated by right thinking and right\nactions. Success and failure are not accidents but consequences. If you want to\nknow what you sowed in the past, look around you and see what you are reaping\ntoday. You begin your climb towards your full potential as a human being the\nmoment you accept the truth that cause and consequence are inseparable. You are\nrich with choice, and your choices reveal who you really are. More than any\nother single factor, you are where you are today because of the choices you\nhave made. As Niccolo Machiavelli says: \u201cWhere the willingness is great, the\ndifficulties cannot be great\u201d.    <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
