3 steps to achieve success and fulfillment in life
First: Define your future This step involves three key components: Create a clear vision. See the future you wish you to arrive as clearly as possible. Once you know it and once you see it, don’t ever change it but see it every day. Define your goals. Breakdown your vision into tangible and measurable goals. Design a roadmap: Build a strategy to get there. (change it along the way as you get more experienced) Second: Transform who you are You won’t get to a new external reality in your life unless you change internally first. So the first step toward a new future is to have a new you. You need to work on the following based on your vision, goals, and strategic plan: Your belief system and your core values Your habits and rituals The people around you Third: Execute your plan and achieve your goals This is both the hard part and the fun part. Usually, the people who are good at step one, are not so good at this step. So even if you are not good, you need to change this in step two and become great at execution otherwise you will be stuck at steps one and two forever. If you complete steps one and two successfully, this step becomes easier and more fun.
One brick at a time, build your beautiful life
Great buildings are made up of good bricks. Each brick was laid carefully to create the building. Each brick has two features in order to serve as a good brick for the building. The first feature is that it should be of high quality. This means that it should be made up of good materials, properly shaped and appropriately processed. And the second feature is that it should be placed properly according to the design of the building. A strong brick but positioned in the wrong direction is either useless or even a problem for the building. And a brick that is placed properly in its place but is not strong enough can’t be reliable. It won’t be able to bear the load it is supposed to bear. Your life is made up of your days. Every single day is playing an important piece of your whole life. Each day needs to have two distinct features in order to serve as a good day for constructing your desirable life. The first one is that it should be a good day on its own. A day that you are happy and you enjoy the day and use your time diligently. The second feature is that whatever you do during that day needs to be aligned with your long term plan and your vision. There is no such thing as a perfect life. So it’s ok to have some days that you are not proud of. And there is no perfect plan in life that would go precisely as you wish. But the more you are committed to keeping the quality of your daily life according to your long term goals, the closer you become to build an excellent life which is both fulfilling and moving toward a future that you’ve dreamed of. Life is extremely precious. We need to fully commit to living it artfully. We need to give it the effort it deserves.
