CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS, A RUNG PER TIME



 
If you have ever felt climbing the ladder of success is as hard as breaking a rock with hammer, I am here to show you that it does not work that way. It is better to work smarter than to work harder. So take time out to read this out.

1.Know what you want

Many years of research has proven that the average person on the street does not know what he or she wants. The first step to living the life of your dreams is to decide the kind of life you want to live. We all have about six lives. You have to decide what you want to achieve in each of these. You have your family life, personal life, professional life, health life, relationship life, and spiritual life.

After you have decided the kind of life you want to live, then you have to pass that message across to your brain, by visualizing your dreams.

2.Picture your future

Our mind thinks in pictures. Visualize where you will be five years from today. I wake up every morning with the picture of my goals. I watch my dreams come true with my mind’s eye. Five years ago, I was totally a ‘nobody’.  By deciding on what I want to achieve in life and visualizing my dreams, I have taken my career to the next level.

Visualizing your goals helps you to design your future. It is better to live the life you designed for yourself than to live your life by default. Living your life by default means taking whatever comes your way
. To live your life by your own design, you have to create the circumstance you want.

3.Make effective decisions

Your decisions affect your destination. Life provides us the opportunity to choose what we want. Any time you want to make a decision, it is an opportunity to make the right decision. You have to seize that opportunity. Where you are today in terms of financial and social status is a result of the decisions you have made in the past.

 Use your common sense. Here, I mean you have to make most of your decisions using your brain. At some level, everyone knows the right thing to do. It might be helpful to think for few minutes before making your decisions. Think about the options you have and the consequences of each of the options. Also, learn not to make decisions based on your emotions. Take for instance, don’t rely on the decisions you make when you are angry.

Align your decisions to your destination. Each decision you make should take you north towards your destination. We make an average of 12 career defining decisions in our life time. It is imperative to think about your destination before choosing your life partner. Does the other person fit into your big picture? After making effective decisions, you have to act on the decisions you have made.

Take action. After deciding what you want in life, you have to visualize the life you want to live, and then you have to make the right decisions that will draw you closer to your goals. Remember the future starts now.
