People often see those that are very successful, and are awed by such people. Their success sometimes seems like it must be due to some esoteric force of nature that mere mortals cannot fathom. In reality, the truth is often far more boring, mundane, and tedious. True, there are many factors, some of which include pure luck. Though, for those that are consistently successful in life, as the saying goes, they create their own "luck". Think about that one for a minute... Did Michael Jordan become the greatest basket ball player of all time because he was great, or was it because he did the things other people didn't want to, and did them more often?
One of the biggest enemies of success is paralysis by analysis. There are often an infinite number of variables to consider, and it is often very easy to become reactive versus proactive. There is a time and place for in depth analysis, but usually not as frequently as people fall into that habit. Instead of getting too caught up in the detail, the best words of advice I can offer is this. Put more focus and effort into changing your mindset and your habits. There are four main components to becoming successful:
2) Thoughts: You must then incorporate those words into your thoughts. Fill your mind with them. This is where many people get stuck. Deep thinking can lead to great insight. Great insight is worthless without deeds...
3) Deeds: As they say, a man is judged by his actions, not just his words. Once you've filled your mind with the Words and Thoughts, you must then put them into practice. Do the deed. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to get done.
4) Habits: Lastly, the manner in which you progress through the first 3, will determine what habits you develop. Successful people often achieve their success because they have learned to develop the habits that lead to success as opposed to those that lead to failure.
The key here is in progressing towards the Deed as quickly as possible. Furthermore, once you've done the Deed, go back to your Thoughts. Destroy your own ego. Evaluate yourself and the Deed. Did it work? Could it have been better? What were your weaknesses? Put some thought into that, then move on to the next Deed, while trying to incorporate those character improvements.
The philosophy here is in applying this continuous expansion and contraction throughout your life. You aim for the sky. You might fall short, but you figure out why, attack that problem ruthlessly, and you aim for the sky again. You fail more than everyone else, and you keep going. Eventually, you develop the Habits that lead you to create your own "luck". Now go out, fail, and love every minute of it. You are on the path.
