The secret to success is a combination of a few elements.
First, it’s your own level of expectations. You have to learn to be
happy with certain things you have achieved so far. It’s almost impossible to
accomplish all the things you aimed in life; so you have to learn to be happy
with what you have achieved, even if it’s half of what you had in your mind at
first.
“Life happens to you, when you are
busy making some other plans”. You always expect certain things, and
something else along the ways comes by and you have to alter your path
accordingly again.
If you can learn to live along with that, if you can be practical like
that, success is easy, maybe! It’s good to have a plan and you are working very
hard and you are walking up against the door and you can’t go through that
door, you just have to find a backdoor or find a way around it!
That’s how life is; you won’t get exactly what you had in the back of
your mind. It’s important to have a good work ethic; no one gets anywhere
without hard work. You have to learn to deal with setbacks, failures, get yourself
together, because quitting is never an option.
Life is a roller-coaster ride, you will have ups and down, but you will remember
only the ups. The fact of the matter is you have to have passion. You must really,
really, really and badly want something in life and you must be 100% devoted
and dedicated towards it. That way, you will accomplish anything, I mean
anything!
To do so, you have to be a bit crazy. You need to be possessive about
it. If you commit your entire life to your dream, 2 things will happen:- either
you will achieve it or you will die trying.
Dreams, goals, ambitions are important as they drive our life.
"I am in this phase, and I am sure many too are
feeling the same. I wrote this post because it’s a reminder to myself that it’s
ok – If things don’t go as per the plan. What matters the most is how you
fought and how you live."
