A few years ago, as I was at a crossroads in my life, I decided that I was going to become massively successful and not live a mediocre life. I was working as a training executive for a private computer training company in India. I made up my mind, determined to be the best computer programmer, and decided that I wanted to work for a foreign company in a foreign country. None of my family members was in a foreign country. Most of my associates were not massively successful. Yet I determined with all my heart and soul that I would become one. That was the BEST decision I made regarding my career. The following are the steps I took to fulfill my desire. You can take these same steps to accomplish anything you have a heart-felt deep burning desire. Imagine, when you are pushed into a lake and you dont know swimming and how you would struggle to get out of water to breathe and be alive. That kind of desire you should have. Then, when you follow these steps, you are bound to succeed, no matter what.
Step 1
Analyze your current situation. Do you think it is okay? Are you happy? Go to step 2
Step 2
Why are you not happy? What can you do about that? What are your desires? Are they truly yours or some one else? Take time to find a quiet place and find your heart-felt deep desires. Then, write down on paper or in your mind why you want to accomplish them? Do you feel you can do it? This is the second stage of introspection. Then, proceed to step 3.
Step 3
Set your realistic goals based on your deep desires from step 2. Then go to step 4.
Step 4
Knowledge is power. Get educated. Take an inventory of your positive and negatives. Acquire skills necessary to fulfill your goals. Remember all skills are acquired. Proceed to step 5.
Step 5
Model experts in your field. Study them; analyze them. My preference to choose models who have passed on. You can have mentors who are living, but to emulate someone and choose them as your model, I prefer who have passed on, for I believe we never know how we finish our lives, but still can learn from their good and positives. Find a mentor. If possible, talk to them; ask them to teach you what you lack. This is very important step. Go to step 6.
Step 6
Now is the time to act. (Previous steps also you took action). This step is to put your goals into actionable little tasks you can do every day and monitor their progress. You can submit all your problems to your creative mind at night and it will work for you all through the night and give answers in the morning, probably. Go to step 7.
Step 7
Be patient. Constantly improve yourself and help others improve themselves. Be detached of the results. Have faith and eventually at the right time your desires will be fulfilled or you will get better than what you thought.
