Have you ever wondered why some people are more successful? 

Is it because of luck, destiny, good timing, opportunity or hard work? 

If so, the real question is: how can I be more successful?

Yes, everyone wants to be successful.

And why not?

Becoming successful in our life is rewarding experience for all of us. 

As a successful individual, we have a sense of achievement. Success brings prosperity, riches, and popularity and subsequently joy and happiness. 

As a social creature, we human always want to create a good social image and excel in our personal and professional life.

Somewhere being successful helps us to fulfil the requirements of social validation. And obviously, it makes us to run behind success.

Concept of being successful

Being successful means achieving of the results wanted or hoped for or the achievement of something that you have been trying to do. The success of something is the fact that it works in a satisfactory way or has the result that is intended. 

Therefore, it is always associated with positive results.

According to people someone who becomes popular, wealthy, or has achieved a lot is successful. For many of us, success is the achievement of a high position in a particular field. When you are successful, you achieve a high position, make a lot of money, or  admired a great deal. 

Still, success is relative term and it’s definition varies from person to person.

As mentioned above, for some people success is a state of achieving their pre-determined goals or fulfilling ambitions. While for others, success is doing what they love and passionate about. 

Still, for the majority of people, being successful means achieving fame, wealth, achievements in professional life and having a good source of income.

Now the question is, if someone is highly successful in his/her career but develops major health issues due to work-related stress, then what is the use of such success? He/she may be financially sound but somewhere suffer a lot due to physical illness.

Likewise, suppose if someone gains popularity overnight but have conflicting family relationships, he/she may not be able to enjoy success to fullest. People may appreciate him/her for extra-ordinary work but he/she will definitely missed out the happiness of good family.

Then, is it wise to run behind the success if the other areas of your life are getting adversely impacted?

Mental clarity being way to success

There are number of books, internet articles giving tips on how to be successful in life. Unfortunately, only few of us become successful. Even if they so, only few are really happy with their own life.

There is a wise saying that,

“Don’t run behind the success. Run behind the excellence and success will follow you.”

Single most important thing to be successful in life is being a human with good mental clarity. 

A mental clarity helps us to stay in the right frame of mind which is important to, visualise our goals, give our best , identify our strengths and weaknesses, stay confident in our judgment and decisions, always keep learning, track our progress and review it often, embrace challenges and overcome obstacles, develop skillset and add values to personal and professional life.

When we are mentally healthy, we are not only able to set appropriate goals but able to pursue them without disruption too.

Achieving or succeeding at something is not an overnight task. It is a long process that involves both simple and complicated steps. Starting from setting goals, giving our best, identifying strengths and weaknesses, learning skills, overcoming obstacles, embracing challenges, adopting changes, exploring different ways, asking for advice or help and being consistent with our efforts is a lengthy and tedious process. 

This requires lots of mental strength and emotional mastery. 

So, before achieving anything it is sensible to know that we are in the right frame of mind. When we have mental clarity, we are not only ready to give our best but accept associated risks without guilt.
