Is this how people think when they want to be successful?

Question

Hi,
I keep asking myself how is it than some people are able to achieve so much over their entire course of their lives? Is it the way they think day by day? Is it that they don't care about obstacles? Don't they get frustrated and depressed about the infinite world or personal and economic problems? Look at famous singers and actresses that lack talent but some how they made it up there or even people that you never knew were going to succeed make it big. Some come from nothing and endup getting a lot. It is incredible how do they think?

How would you describe their way of daily thinking? Do they work full time on their goals. Do they daydream? Do they reconnect with their goal mentally on a daily basis?

I know I have been fighting for mine for quite some time but no matter what I do it seems so far away, so distant that I think I can't keep at it. Could there be a formula for a good result?

Take care

Any experiances from anyone?

Answer 1

You are on a great journey. Fortunately, many have gone before you and some have taken the trouble of answering the very questions you are asking. So there are lots of great books you can read. Here are a few:
"The Richest Man in Babylon" -- George Clason
"Think and Grow Rich" -- Napoleon Hill
"The Alchemist"-- Paulo Coelho
"The Millionaire Next Door" -- Thomas J. Stanley

I hope that helps, and happy reading!

Answer 2

yeah, ok, I know the answer to that

read autobiographies of people who did things in life and you will see that most of them started poor and overcame huge obstacles to get to whatever great things they did.

don't let problems get you down or stop you. Instead of fussing, dust yourself off, say how can I NOT have that same problem happen again, then what can I actually do now that might help? Then accumulate money and accomplishments. Its like learning or investing, a few hours learning or a few dollars invested every day, then it adds up. Guilty of not doing that enough myself though. Keep a goal in mind and lean toward it.

Think more about what you DO have and what you CAN do than about what you don't have and can't do.

Work with what you have, its all you can do.

Read more autobiographies for inspiration if you need to.

Answer 3

You have to keep trying.

You have to focus on what you can control, which is yourself. If you are depending on someone else, it simply isn't as important to the other person as yourself.

You have to be focused on what you want to achieve.

I've wanted to be financially successful. I want to have enough money so that I have some choices about where I live, what I eat, and how I will relax.

When I was younger, I knew that I had to finish college. I bummed around jobs and realized that I was not getting paid as well as I'd like. So, I investigated what fair value was for my work and found a new job that paid better.

Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been smooth sailing. I had a great job, but the company went bankrupt. It took some months to locate a new one. The new job was hardly optimal, and I searched off and on for quite some time to get my current job.

Figure out where you want to be. Find out how the people who have whatever that was got there. Follow their path. Focus on achieving the next step in your path.
