Lesson 1: Building a Successful Career

Success does not come in isolation. It is entwined with failure, in fact, multiple failures. To achieve success in any thing, you need to sit down and reflect upon the failures. Doing so would show you your limitations. It is these limitations that you need to break. Breaking your own limits shows just how full of potential you are. Besides, exceeding your own expectations brings to you a new sense of achievement. The best day to start reflecting on your failures, and breaking your limits is today. Start today and go on till you have achieved what you desire to. By starting today, success may not be guaranteed but you can be certain that there will be results. Give yourself the time needed to achieve your dreams. 

As you start, you may find things to be extremely difficult; feel that the world is conspiring against your dreams. Remember, the world sees your problems in the same light as you. If you consider your problem to be magnanimous, so will the world. Certainly, you cannot choose your problems but you can choose how you respond to them. If you try to be happy despite having problems, the world will help you in getting happier. Perception plays a huge role in success. We may assume that others have it easier but what we do not see is the struggle that they have put in. Luck only happens to people who are courageous enough to take action and are persistent about it. Your commitments need to be backed by actions. Keep going even as things start to get difficult or boring. No efforts equal to no results. 

Your success must be self-defined. If you were to follow success as defined by the world, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment. World’s definition of success and failure are constantly changing, and never in your favor. If you find yourself unhappy in life, take it as a sign for needing change. Move out of where you are currently, and go out exploring for new opportunities. 

Another reason why you are not meeting success is your mind. Do not allow yourself to be discouraged by how you’re treated. That is no measure of your value. You cannot choose what the world thinks of you but you can certainly decide whom you are going to listen to. Even then the emotions you feel, believe it or not, are not permanent. It may seem like but it’s not. Instead try to win over your mind. Do not allow your ego to stop you from reaching out. Remember, asking and learning what you don’t
