Success Is Not Random Or By Luck

There may be countless definitions to what "Success" is according to each person but it is clear enough that success can't be random and by luck. You may disagree to say "There are people who are made for life because of their luck of being born into a successful family or was selected randomly to become wealthy". While that may seem like a truth, we must not lose focus of what being successful really entails.

Your family is successful doesn't make you a successful person You are the most wealthiest person on earth doesn't make you successful (this could be right to some people's definition though)

Being successful isn't random or by luck... It is by preparation and taking opportunities as they comes.

Preparing your mind to become successful isn't an easy task and that is why we have less successful people compared to the unsuccessful ones. The unsuccessful may be doing well still but the successful ones have it come in easier for them. When can one say he or she is successful? No time! You are successful when you feel you are and that is totally up to your own preference and definition of what you call "Success".

But preparing oneself to become successful requires a lot of habits and even the successful ones still exhibit these habits as some habits die hard. If you're successful or not, these habits are good preparation to becoming or staying successful.

Do the hard thinking... Don't think within your tiny box

If there's one thing that a lot of people tend not to do is thinking much on some things. They just want to do and not think about what comes after... While it may be cool in some cases, it isn't the habit of a successful person as being successful come from thorough and hard thinking to becoming better at your game.

Explore new ideas by thinking outside your box always, stay positive while you think and welcome the idea of your life taking a good turn with every step you take towards that hard thoughts.

Be a good starter and finisher of your goals

It's no news that a lot of people set goals and along the line fail to accomplish it because of lack of determination or procrastination. Successful people could be said to have obsession towards their goals, they achieve it no matter what and that is because their minds are "success oriented".

Don't just set goals and let them work on their own, you've got to finish what you started and be an accomplished goal setter. Imagine having all your goals achieved, it is another definition of being successful.

Be a learner and your friends cycle should be in line with your determination

No successful person became one without the learning habit, no one is an island of knowledge no matter how far in life they've gone. To be successful or as a successful person, be a good learner of any knowledge you can find... No knowledge is a waste, you need all you can learn to grow and be better.

Your friends have a lot of influence in you being successful, choose them wisely. One can't be success minded and mingle with friends who thinks they can just accept life as it comes. I'm not saying you'll become enemy to people who don't work towards being successful, I'm saying you occupy your time with your success goals more.
