Success is defined differently by different people, no doubt, but one thing that is common about success, is the achievement of a goal, and the feeling of fulfilment which comes with it.
It sounds simple for people to say they know what they want in order to become successful, but how come so many people moan and wind, crying for success?
This is because a lot of people do not understand the concept of success or are not clear about what they actually want when they crave success.
Success comes in phases, and even though you may have achieved a handful of successful feats in some aspects of your life, the fact that you are yet to achieve success in other areas of your life will continually make you crave more success, which is a predominant human characteristic.
As a Business and Leadership coach, I work with my clients to achieve the success they desire, in their work and other personal endeavours. This is because if a part of us is not adequately tended to, other parts of us will be adversely affected, as a result.
To ensure that my clients achieve their goals, we ensure that all areas of their development and growth is taken care of, and a clear understanding of all their underlying needs are pointed out.
To wholly achieve success, you need to be clear on what success means to you and how this will impact your life. You also need to be aware of the tools and opportunities available to you to achieve success.
As you know, the term ‘Success’, is largely vague and for this reason, you have to clarify Your terms and set your goals to go with what you want to achieve . For example if success to you is getting up the ladder just one more step in your workplace, or having a blissful relationship with someone you love or admire, or even more financial freedom, all you need do, is mark the strokes on how you think you can achieve this. What this means is that you analyse your desire, explore the options you have in achieving this goals, be clear on why you want this goal, the benefits or impacts on your life and think back on why you have not achieved it.
Analysing your goal in this context, will create a clearer picture on what needs to happen for you to achieve this goal that will eventually add to your list of successes.
When you become clearer about the success you crave and how to achieve it, you will be able to develop mental images that will boost and motivate you into taking daily, concrete steps which will eventually land you your goals.
To simplify the process of achieving success through transformational clarity, follow these steps:
1. Understand the reason for your desire: Clarity helps you understand the reason you want to achieve a goal. You must have a compelling reason why you should achieve a goal, because this will be your driving force even when you are at your lowest ebb. Being able to have a big ‘WHY’, attached to your desire, will give you the resilience to keep going and take necessary actions when you need to do so.
2. Be willing to grow: Sometimes, you know what you want but not how to get it, which makes you do other things to sabotage your desires. When you are clear about why you should achieve something, then you will be open to expanding your zone, by seeking knowledge, learning and engaging in acts that will open up ways of achieving the goal. Clarity creates a conviction that makes you go after your dreams, no matter what.
Always remember that there have been people who have worked this path before , so let go of all your fears, and be ready to learn from others, explore different avenues and opportunities open to you and you will reach your graceful destination in no time.
2. Grip the bars: To succeed in life, you must understand that there will be bars to pass through. Let’s start with the process of coming to life (Birth); - it was a mixed process of pain, joy, laughter and recovery. Life is a journey of difficulties and ease. How long each stage will last depends on individual circumstances. Actually, you will need to project the barriers that may be awaiting you in your efforts at achieving your goals and plan ahead for these stumbling blocks, so, they are unable to crush you down, when you face them. Alternatively, if it’s possible for you to uproot anything that will make achieving your goal become difficult, it may be better for you to do so before jumping in. For example, this could include things like achieving some level of education, training, changing lifestyle, taking up some investments, etc.
I believe that clarity enlightens the mind and enriches the soul, which is why I constantly work with my clients to seek what’s best for them by understanding the depth of their desires and where it could lead them.
