Some people just seem to have it all, don’t they? Like the Midas touch, everything they look at seems to turn into gold and riches. Meanwhile, here you are working your butt off for what feels like pennies on the dollar watching the world speed on by.
It’s easy to feel resentful. After all, we’ve always been taught that hard work is the path to success. But when you look at the reality, you don’t see that – you see successful people who just seem to enjoy everything falling into your lap.
The important thing you should be doing is looking at yourself. There’s no point comparing your progress now with people who are far ahead of you. It’s like apples and oranges and bound to leave you feeling dejected!
Instead, focusing on your own skills, your own talents, and what you can do to improve them will go the extra mile. Combine this with dedication to building yourself with a strong, positive mindset, and you’ll soon find yourself on the right path.
The key difference between you and successful individuals isn’t so much how much money you are making, but also having the knowledge of how to get there – and most of this comes from your mindset. What makes living valuable to you? What makes it worthwhile, and how can you live it well?
If you know the answers to these questions, then you’ll have a clear roadmap to the future especially if you work hard towards developing your own personal philosophy of success and making your career about meeting that, rather than what other people’s ideas of success are, you’ll quickly find that everything falls into place.
