How to ACHIEVE GREATER things in LIFE! (magic formula for success)

If you want to have bigger achievements in life but you don’t know how, or would like to understand what successful people have in common, for sure this post is for you!

I won’t talk only about success today because, in the end of the day, each one of us have a different definition about what means to be successful. I will go a bit beyond and talk about people that managed to have bigger achievements in life!

Some of them we don’t even get to know about, especially when they work on a different field than ours, others become known internationally because their achievements change everybody’s lives, like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or even Walt Disney! If you have ever wondered if these people have something in common, I can tell you, they do! And it’s not just one thing, it’s a combination of them!

Only IQ is not enough, besides intelligence , they have personality traits and a mindset that help them to deal well with failure, they are driven by passion and purpose, and they have huge dreams and visions!

They are passionate about what they do and they do it well, and not only that, they focus on improving their strengths and align their skills with their goals! They are eternal apprentices, they never stop studying because knowledge is never enough for them!

Passion

If you want to have bigger achievements in life, you need to know yourself very well, your weaknesses, your strengths and what you do well. You also need to enjoy learning new things and, above all, you must know what’s your passion!

If you cannot figure out what is it, don’t worry, you are not alone! We all have a natural talent but unfortunately, because of the educational system that we have, it’s normal to forget and lose it during our formation!

To retrieve it after you are an adult, you need to follow your natural inclinations! Anything that you feel interested at any given time in your life, just go ahead and learn! It’s like assembling a puzzle, after sometime and a lot of learned skills, you will be able to have a broader vision and find out your passion!

When it becomes clear, you will understand how you can use it, which in turn, will give you a purpose!

Purpose

Let me tell you something about purpose, it cannot be related only to a piece of paper like money, certificate or even diploma! It has to be more than that!

There is a huge difference between people that study something because they are passionate about it, and others that just want the certificate! I’m sure you can see the difference between these 2 types of professionals, the ones that love what they do and the ones that work because of the title or for money!

You need to find your why, the reasons behind your actions! A way you can use your natural skills to have a greater level of satisfaction in life, and only papers cannot give you that!

Your purpose has to be something that you really care, especially the way you can impact other people! When you find out, money will be just a consequence!

If you want to understand better how to find your why, I will recommend a guy called Simon Sinek, have a look at his Ted Talk where he teaches that!

Intuition

Another factor that you can observe in successful people, usually they don’t have a very conventional life story because they listen and follow their intuition!

Jay Shetty is a good example of that! When he graduated, he had a clear career path to follow, but he decided to drop everything and become a monk! After 3 years, he returned to the western world and nowadays he is one of the most influential people on the planet, with his purpose to make wisdom go viral!

When you find your passion and your why, you align yourself with your true purpose, and that means that you will be tuned into the highest vibrations in the universe! And they will guide your through your intuition, if you know how to listen to it and take the necessary steps that are required from you, literally magic doors will appear on the way!

Dreams and Visions

People that had big achievements were visionaries, their dreams had no limits! So if you want to have a bigger achievement, you need to allow yourself to dream big because what you mind can conceive, certainly you can create!

I’m always talking about this on my videos, the biggest part of your limitations are in your mind! You need to break through them if you want to achieve anything in your life!

To create a vision and believe that you can make it become reality, is a determining factor to be successful because every journey has its challenges and difficulties, so when you come across them, you can use your vision to put yourself back on track and continue!

Successful people understand that failure is not something definitive, they don’t waste time crying or blaming others, they learn from their mistakes, change the strategy and continue to work in order to achieve what they want! And they do that keeping their visions in mind and committing themselves to make them become reality, with resilience, persistence and perseverance, doesn’t matter how long will take!

Angela Duckworth conducted a study to know what makes people to achieve success, and what she calls “grit”, is the result of a combination of factors, many of which I have mentioned today: passion, purpose, vision and perseverance!

I will leave the link for her Ted Talk below because of course she can explain better her own studies!
