Quit Lying To Yourself

It is fairly common for people who don’t get what they want to provide justifications – and even lie to themselves – by minimizing how valuable succuss is to them. It’s easy to spot this trend in our society today within entire demographics and population segments. You can read it in books, experience it on public display, and see it promoted in schools. For example, children who can’t get what they want will fight for a little while, cry for a bit, and then convince themselves that they never wanted it in the first place. It is entirely okay to admit that you wanted something that didn’t come to fruition. In fact, this is the only thing that will help you eventually reach that goal – despite the obstacles you’ll encounter along the way.

Even the most fortunate and well-connected people among us must do something to put themselves in the right places at the right times in front of the right people. Luck is just one of the byproducts of those who take the most action. The reason why successful people seem so lucky is because success naturally allows for more succuss. People create magical momentum by reaching their goals, which compels them to set – and eventually reach – even loftier goals. Unless you are privy to the action, you don’t see or hear about the number of times the successful went for it and failed; after all, the world pays attention only when they’re winning. Don’t be confused by what looks like luck to you. Lucky people don’t make successful people; people who completely commit themselves to succuss seem to get lucky in life. Remember the line, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”

We can even take this one step further: If you are able to repeatedly attain success, it becomes less of a “success” and more of a habit – almost everyday life for some people. And despite the often-used phrase, there is no such thing as an “overnight success.” Succuss always comes as a result of earlier actions – no matter how seemingly insignificant they are or how long ago they were taken. Anyone who refers to a business, product, actor, or band as an overnight success neglect to understand the mental stakes that certain individuals have made in order to forge this path. They don’t see the countless actions taken before these people actually created and acquired their much-deserved victory.
