Why are Some People Successful and others are Not

August 10, 2016

Why are some people successful while others are not? I believe that education plays a significant role in securing a good job, but it is not the sole compoI have spent most of my life studying this subject, reading as many books and listening to as many CDs and cassettes as I could get my hands on with it.

I did discover a crucial component that most successful individuals possessed, and that was the ability to believe in oneself. As Earl Nightingale said, "What the mind perceives, it will achieve." We can gradually progress towards achieving a higher quality of life, a higher-paying job, increased satisfaction, and a deep passion and purpose for living an unrestricted life if we envision our ideal self.

You need to develop a passion for your work and your life's purpose. If you have a passion, all the other factors will fall into place, one at a time. However, if you lack a passion, you may find yourself lost and searching for your true identity and life's purpose. We have equal chances to achieve our goals. No one is born with this quality; you develop it as you understand what your purpose and passion are all about and who you want to become with your mission.

Let's talk about what your purpose in life is and what it should mean to you. The easiest way to understand if you're living a life of purpose is when you wake up, are excited, filled with energy about your day, and have a passion for what is in store for today. If your feelings are entirely different, then it's time to shift your mindset to a new level.

You can achieve your state of consciousness by using various programs, such as meditation. I utilize a program named InfiniSync; tapping for success is a preferred method for cultivating an active, conscious mind. Using these programs will provide you with the benefits of a relaxed mind, enabling you to become more active in your journey and purpose. There are many good programs out there; what works for you is what you should use.

Most of us have been living a life without any purpose or passion for the last 10, 20, or even 30 years. When you finally discover this feeling, your soul will become alive, filled with energy, and ready to take on the world of the mysteries and adventures that will come our way. You will only know that feeling when you experience it for the first time.

How do we find out what our passion is in life? That is a question that only you can answer: What makes you happy? What do you enjoy doing each and every day? What changes could you make that will improve your overall happiness? You will need to answer some of these questions to understand what your passion is and how you can adapt to it. This is a great place to start, providing much more detail on how you can truly discover your passion. The Personal Excellence Blog has a 7-part series for you to understand what your passion is. I highly recommend it; I use all the material I suggested in this article on a daily basis.

I hope this article has provided a starting point for your journey with your passion and purpose in your life. If you have enjoyed it, please leave me your thoughts.
