This is a guest post from the young and talented Trevor from his excellent blog Striking Up.
When you look over on the grass on the other side, what do you see? Smiles? People enjoying their time? Before you get mesmerized by them, you have to ask yourself, “What is key?” Do you want your life to be filled with new materials once in a while or do you want one when you feel like it? Do not lose your focus and wanting to settle. You have to go back and ask yourself to keep yourself in check and assure yourself that you want success and not instant gratification.
Your keys to becoming successful are as easy as 1-2-3. Using the positive virtues set out for everyone to obtain and have, the limits are endless. Everyone has the skills needed to become successful and that’s why you can’t tell for certain who’s going to become successful. You cannot say a person who plays video games all day is going to be unsuccessful compared to someone who looks at the stock markets all the time. It’s the things like instant gratification and ‘wants’ that cause us to divert our attention and give us the keys to becoming unsuccessful.
When you compare the middle and high class, the difference is huge. However, there’s nothing wrong with being a middle class but when you have the opportunities to enter the realm of the high class, why don’t you take the opportunity? It’s not like you instantly become evil and have deceived someone when you have joined their ranks.
What do you think? What are your keys to becoming successful? Remember, your keys include your talents and what you are genuinely interested in.
