Hello Steemians,
Success have been demonstrated in some diverse ways. My definition of success may be totally different from yours, no wonder John C. Maxwell defines success as ability to achieve what you have defined, we can say it’s a good reason some celebrate it while others don’t. A wise man once said it is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation, success is not accidental, however achieving a desired result birth success.
Margaret thatcher defines success as a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing, knowing that it is not enough that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose. We often aspire to be successful at work, home, school, business etc. We have tried but all effort proved abortive concreting our mind with the believe that success is connected to destiny or maybe magical. In all our aspiration, we must be familiar with the three-fundamental principle that birth success which I termed the 3D’s of success; Determination, Diligence and Discipline
DETERMINATION
I am yet to see a successful individual without determination. In achieving success, we must be ready to give it what it takes, the difference between the impossible and possible lies in a man’s determination. I’ve always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you’ve to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that want to accomplish, be determined to face every challenge and stay firm.Denis Waitley once quipped “Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you”, if your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair because it makes the long journey short. Great works are performed not by strength but perseverance, so if you set your goal and go after them with all your determination you can muster, your gift will take you places that will amaze you.
DILIGENCE
Diligence is not tantamount to hard work. The true meaning of diligence is not to exert ourselves around the clock without rest, but to work doggedly and proficiently without wasting time. It is easy to form good habits when you understand the importance of diligence for example training so hard for a competition could bring a good result which am not against it. A diligent person makes use of every available resources and opportunity wisely, always focused and avoid errors.
Samuel Johnson once quipped few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Diligence does not only rely on talent, it employs been committed, industrious and perseverance to transform vision into reality. A diligent man does not allow a task once undertaken to remain incomplete, the satisfaction of finishing a task is often more important than any praise or recognition they receive from others. Embrace smart work to hard work.
DISCIPLINE
We are all aware of the concept discipline but few truly understand. Self-discipline attract sacrifice cause to achieve success determination and diligence are not enough, you need to deny yourself many thing, quit them and embrace change, it may even require you to leave your comfort zone. Discipline should be a habit and not an adaptation to life, practice discipline for a better life because many successful people attribute their success to discipline.
Elbert hubbard defines discipline as the ability to do what you should do when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. it is the bridge between goals and accomplishment, resist the urge to give into negative behaviors, focus on all of the positive attributes and it will put you towards achieving your goals cause it will align you, strengthens you and give birth to new you.
