Success: How Big or Small to Be Called a Success?

Success is an achievement of a goal, small or large. It doesn't have to be big or extraordinary that the whole world have to know as a breaking news on TV! But it still can be an achievement that will make one proud.

In general, I am assuming, most of us are procrastinators. We like to put off our tasks and activities on hold due to laziness or whatever reason! These actions lead to incomplete work and activities! As a result, our work keeps on piling up, and our motivation and desire dwindles further!

So you see where am I going with this issue? Does it sound familiar? For example, we all have dealt with an untidy, cluttered Desk, Whether it be at home or the office. We keep telling ourselves that it needs cleaning. But we don't do it! The reason, We don't have a motivation to clean it though our desire to do so is intense. The inertia have settled in our mind looking at the piles of incomplete tasks!

Here what we need is a push or a strong desire to start the job and in no time the desk will be clean and tidy, and we will feel great!

Now, what did we achieve by completing this simple task? A huge success! Tremendous satisfaction and a sense of relief.

The desk is looking great after the cleaning. It was an easy task, but the procrastination held us back from cleaning it. Here this inertia was hindering the success. If we can garner this of passion in our life and take up the challenge, don't our desk and our life could become uncluttered for good!

So, a small achievement of success can make us so happy and satisfied, why can't we build on this habit and make it a permanent habit or a second nature of ours. But what takes is a self-discipline, passion, the self-motivation to appreciate these small successes. The rewards are unbelievable.

Anybody, whether it be a child, men or women, the positive attitude leading to achievements and successes will change their life for good. If we put our mind to any task, small or big like cleaning a child's toy room, or completing homework, cleaning a garage, mowing the yard or cleaning a pantry. These tasks aren't difficult or hard but tedious and uninteresting. But passion, developing a habit to complete these tasks with enthusiasm and appreciating small successes will give a sense of achievements.

If we become passionate about all our jobs or activities, small or large, stay motivated, learn the discipline to complete them promptly and learn lifelong work ethics, the rewards will be unbelievable!! Our children can learn at a young age the same characters and qualities by our actions alone. Doesn't this make you happy and proud of your extraordinary achievements and reward filled successes, small but significant!

These successes may sound small to one who enjoys great successes in life. But most of us, who complete small tasks and achieving small successes, these lessons are priceless. They help break the mold of inertia. Achieving small successes will generate confidence and courage to take up big challenges in life.

So the lesson we learn here is to win over procrastination, create a passion and the motivation for any task or chores. Learn the habit to complete the task at hand with enthusiasm. The rewards will be satisfying and successes will be exhilarating.

"Sweet Success is contagious and addictive, but this addiction is worth having it!!"

Don't you all are with me on this? I believed so!

Respectfully,

Deepak Mehta

All of us enjoy a success in all our endeavors, but I believe that the achievement does not have to be enormous. Even gaining victory over a bad habit of procrastination is a big deal. Because, the practice of putting off any task, big or small for no particular reason but sheer laziness that robs many of us achieving tremendous successes in our future endeavors. So it is a huge deal to gain victory over it.

AMBITION ►MOTIVATIONAL VIDEO 2015 (feat Les Brown,Eric Thomas,Will Smith)

Any ambition is achievable if you have the motivation and belief to persist in working towards your dream. It's POSSIBLE.......

5 Ways To Redefine Success

We often mistake success in life for material wealth, which gives fleeting satisfaction. This article shares things that truly make us feel successful, like doing your passion and becoming the best version of yourself.

Ahhhhhh... that elusive thing called success that everyone is chasing.

We know the word "success", but what is its real meaning?

In today's society, success is usually measured in monetary value - such as one's ability to buy more things and appear successful materially by having 'stuff.' Do you agree that this is how success is generally measured in society? Sounds shallow when you word it out. Now, I am not judging, because guess what, I chased this kind of success in life too for many years.

But one day I got there, I reached that pinnacle of what I thought success was - which at that time for me, was to make lots of money and achieve a lot in business. Still, I felt hollow inside. I thought to myself, "I thought getting here would feel different." This version of success we are conditioned to is backwards and is never going to give us the feeling we want, simply because we've equated the pursuit of success to chasing after a "feeling." We buy stuff and pursue accomplishments to experience a feeling that we think these things are going to give us. Actually, we would feel good, but only temporarily; it will not last because none of these pleasures fulfill your soul's true longing.

We have been conditioned to believe that having these "things" determines our success. The truth is, success is different for every person and no version of success is better than another. It is time to redefine this word to get back to what your true self considers success.

HERE ARE SOME MEASUREMENT STICKS TO CONSIDER WHEN DEFINING YOUR VERSION OF SUCCESS:

1. Do What You Love

Self-satisfaction and fulfillment are yours at the end of the day. Work doesn't seem like work because you are doing what you're passionate about. Ever heard this quote, "Make a living doing what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"?

When you love what you do, it is easy to put your best foot forward, no motivation is required. The basic ingredient is love for the work you want to do. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the outcome of something that you love to do. Work stops being something you 'have' to do; instead it becomes something you 'get' to do.

2. Serving More People

What if we began to measure success by how many people we are able to serve?

How do you feel when you truly fulfill the needs of another person and provide valuable service to that person?

There is something very fulfilling about it knowing that we are making a difference. Even if we think it's a small thing, it could be the biggest thing to a person, it may even be life changing. Success is touching people's lives and making a difference one life at a time.

3. Becoming A Better Version Of Yourself

This is the true purpose of life when we get down to it. To simply become the best version of ourselves. How does it feel when you grow as a person? When you become more proficient in something? Or when you handle a situation in a more effective way? What if we stopped competing against everyone else and instead just competed with ourselves to be better than the day before and the month before and the year before? How would that kind success feel - looking back at a year passed knowing that you have grown every day and every week even if in small and simple ways?

4. Achieving Your Goals

Congratulations for hitting the target! Regardless of how small or big your goals are, you have accomplished them well. This is a measurement of success. Growth is something everyone wants to achieve, personally and professionally. You have gotten out of the shell, acquired new skills and competencies, and learned new things to improve yourself, and did more and better than the last time. You set constant goals you know you can achieve and kept knocking them out.

How successful do you think you would feel if you were constantly achieving what you set out to do?

5. How Much You Look Forward To Tomorrow

Life couldn't be any better when you are filled with hope of what tomorrow brings - new challenges, opportunities and unlimited possibilities. You always see the brighter side everyday, and if today wasn't good enough, tomorrow is going to be another chance for you to make it better. If you make success about reaching a material goal, it may feel good the moment you achieve it, but then you are left having to constantly strive for the next thing to get that feeling again, and are left always chasing.

Make success about who you are now and who you are becoming, about how you live your life and how you serve, about making personal progress a constant part of your journey, and about cultivating the life where every tomorrow is a gift you are grateful to experience

What makes You HAPPY? 

LES BROWN- Everything you need to know about PURE MOTIVATION ( Part 1)

The Great motivational speaker Les Brown shares insights on Motivation!

How do you motivate yourself?

Monday Motivation

Monday motivation is difficult to find, but why is that? 

Monday is the first day of the working week, so we should be motivated, enthusiastic and ready for the week ahead, anxious to do all the joyous activities, be they work, rest or play for the upcoming week. 

The only reason many are not motivated and enthusiastic on a Monday is that we simply don't enjoy what we're doing, especially in terms of work. 

Those of us in this predicament need to reassess our situation, our jobs and pinpoint what we are unhappy with, decide what we do want to do and formulate a plan with set goals, which should be detailed and specific. Only then will we know what to focus on to attain our objectives.

When this happens, we can turn our Mondays into a day to celebrate. After all, all time is precious and every day as valid as the all others. 

Time waits for no man, so let's appreciate each  and every moment!!

What Whatsapp's Co-Founder Can Teach Us About Perseverance

Facebook acquiring Whatsapp is probably old news now, but the story behind this deal can teach a lot about perseverance. Not many people outside the tech circle knew Whatsapp's co-founder Brian Acton before his story became famous.

In 2009, Brian had applied for a job in Facebook, prior to developing his popular messaging app. His tweet after being turned down read 'Facebook turned me down.. looking forward to life's next adventure'. And as we know, Whatsapp was sold for $19 billion to Facebook.

He didn't let such a big rejection get to him. And his work life did a full circle when this deal was sealed.

What is Perseverance?

Perseverance basically means to keep going even when you're hit with an obstacle. But, that's easier said than done. Whether we are trying to lose weight or make it big as a start-up, setbacks can mar our self-confidence.

To persevere despite rejection is not a common trait, but one trait common in all successful people. Be it Brian Acton, Warren Buffett or the legendary Steve Jobs, they have all made a massive comeback solely because of perseverance.

How Can You Practice Perseverance In Order To Be Successful?

Brace the Change- So you got turned down by your fourth client this week. That's okay, it really is not the end of the world. Instead of whining about why fate dealt you an unfavorable hand, try to figure out how can you better your situation.

Deliberating on what went wrong will not get you close to what needs to be made right. Just accept what has happened, dust the rejection dirt off your shoulder, and change your game plan.

In fact sometimes obstacles can give you another insight into your plan of action. It could be a learning experience that might prove to be for the best in the long run.

Remember Why You Started- Motivation wear out, but it doesn't run out. There's a sense of exhilaration when you first set a goal but that excitement fades off with time. This is the primary reason so many people forget about their New Year's resolution by the second week of January.

Tap into the motivation that got you started. Just close your eyes and imagine yourself achieving the goal; how would you feel, how would people around you react. Are you seriously going to give up on this vision just because of a bump in the road?

Cultivate a Positive Mindset- Like an envious person seldom has anything nice to say, a negative mindset will never make you concentrate on the silver lining. In fact, it will just make the clouds darker.

Thinking negative thoughts just take too much energy. And a negative attitude seldom leads to success. You will be too busy self-doubting, and eventually give up on your goals. A positive mindset however concentrates on the positive aspects- like the solution instead of the problem. If you are an optimist, it will be a lot easier for you to get right back up after a setback.

One way to change your mindset is to analyze your thoughts. Which of your thoughts are negative and how does it affect your emotions associated with it. For instance if you are thinking 'I can't do it' how do you feel physically? Mostly depressed, right? To change this, you have to replace the negative thoughts with positive ones. Instead of saying 'I can't do this' say 'Yes I can!'.

Giving Up is Not an Option- Convince yourself that you just cannot give up. If you second-guess your goals, chances are you'll find an excuse to give up, and you are going to want to give up post-rejections. Do not let that happen.

Make a promise to yourself that you are going to go through this, or make a commitment in front of your friends and family. Once people get to know about your goals, you'd be more committed because you don't want people to laugh at or belittle you.

And every time you want to give up, just tell yourself you are going to try one last time.

Use Affirmations- An imperative tool to creating a positive mindset is affirmations. For the uninitiated, affirmations are like mantras that you repeat to yourself till you start feeling it in your bones.

Affirmations like 'I'm better than this obstacle/failure', 'This obstacle doesn't change me', or 'I'm going to be successful no matter what', creates a feeling of positivity plus your subconscious mind absorbs these messages and react on it.

Mornings are best for using affirmations. Make it a part of your brushing schedule.

Associate with Progressive People- A man is known by the company he keeps. We are all in some ways influenced by people we spend most of our time with. Try to spend time with people, who are progressing towards success, they have a determined mindset. And it eventually rubs off on you.

Perseverance does not come to you in a stroke. It takes time to build this habit. But once you master the art of perseverance, nothing can stop you from achieving whatever you want.

How To Be Motivated - Get Up and Get Going!

How to be motivated. No Kidding!!! If you are like me, then know and starting and maintaining your plan of life has been a tough go. Struggling through life with no idea what you wanted or, if you did, how to sustain that momentum to always be moving towards your dreams. Motivation and inspiration are tough things to keep focused on, especially when those tough days come along or disappointment shows its ugly face.

Today I want to talk about moving forward and reaching whatever it is you desire. No matter what that THING is. The perfect career, the perfect relationship, the perfect health, the perfect whatever. Here are some tips to taking steps in the right direction.

1) The most important thing that you must sort out is what is your vision, your dream, your desire... Similar to the story about the lumberjack who took time to sharpen his axe versus the one who just keep chopping and chopping. The person who takes time to think, plan and take the steps laid out in the strategy has a significant higher percentage chance of succeeding than the one who goes on faith, hope and no strategy or direction. Take the time to establish what it is you are wanting. Desire your perfect scenario in your mind. You then must put thought to paper or processor. Something that you can refer back to, amend, rewrite or just remind yourself of.

2) In your plan, be sure to set measurable goals, not only outcomes but timelines also. You must lay out a schedule of what and when you will do and complete things. Important thing to remember is to not beat yourself up if you do not attain the schedule. Just reschedule it and keep going. The key here is that you have a plan that you can follow and that you can refer to if you ever find you are unsure of what your next step should be. You should break down your goals into weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly. You can even go further than that if you like, do a 3, 5 and 10 year plan also. If you choose to expand you plan to this level (which I recommend), start with the further period out and work backwards. For example, your 10 year plan will help you establish what your 5 year should look like to accomplish the 10 year. Envision the end result of whatever timeline you create and work backwards on the steps needed to accomplish this.Then use this to create your daily plan, look at your weekly goal that you have established from longer term goals and establish what each day looks like.

3) And Finally, GO GO GO. take the steps you have planned, do the tasks, move move move. As mentioned, even if you don't achieve what you laid out for yourself, DO NOT STOP!!! Chances are you are that much closer to your goal, plus you have a plan and vision of what you are working towards anyways. Do not get stuck in negativity or self-defeating thoughts or actions, stay focused. The main thing that most successful people have in common, is their energy, they don't stop. Even if something happens, some hiccup or detour in the plan, they keep get up, get ready and GO!

I hope this helps. It really is this simple, but it takes commitment, planning and an ability to revisit your goals and dreams, to remind you of why you must get through the bad days, the challenges, the refusals.

Good luck and, as always, I wish you Great Health & Great Wealth.
