By How do you define success?
If we google the definition of success, we will find lots of information. There are thousands of videos, research papers, articles, motivational speeches on success. From waking up at 4 am every day to eating habits, everything leads to success. That’s what I found on the internet.
This article is a bit different. Here, I will explain how 4 simple ideas will lead to success. These 4 steps led me to be a published author. I believe they will help you achieve your definition of success too.
To start with, you need to have a dream. A dream where you see yourself. It doesn’t have to be the sole life’s purpose. It can be going on treking or writing a book or starting your own company.
Once you have it, big or small, stick with these 4Ds, and success is a step closer to you.
4Ds for success:
Destination:
You have a dream. But it certainly has an end or a stop. What’s the ultimate destination of your dream? Is it to climb Mt. Everest or is it to buy a new car?
Once you are sure about your destination, success comes closer to you. Because once you know where you want to reach, you will start looking the right way to the destination.
Discipline:
To make a dream a reality, you need discipline. Self-discipline is the key to success. This bound you on the right track. It will keep you focused on your goals and targets.
If your dream is to lose 5 kg weight, eating chocolates and junk food won’t work. You need to be in discipline and start avoiding food that keeps you away from your dream or success.
Self-control/discipline will help you in a long run. Push yourself to new heights, stick with the discipline and you are a step closer to your goal.
Devotion:
The path of devotion is a series of practices that help you cultivate courage, connection, and resilience during hard times. It’s the delegation towards your goal or success.
How much do you care about your goal? Do you love what you doing? Do you feel its importance in your life? How devoted are you to that? You have to be 100% devoted to what you are doing. Or you will end up nowhere.
Determination:
Determination is the intention to do something. It is willpower. Are you crazy enough for your success? To be determined is to be dedicated, disciplined, devoted, and destiny-oriented. You have to set small goals for every day. No excuse will work for your success.
Determination and perseverance will lead to success.
To be honest, there’s no shortcut to success. You need to have to follow these 4Ds strictly. Dare yourself to follow these 4 steps and see your dream turn into reality.
