STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING

With the little knowledgw I have gathered, I've come to realize that success is not about dreams and aspirations only, but it takes a whole lot more than that. Having a dream is just the starting point and it does not determine one's success in life.
Many people have different opinions about how to become successful in life. Below are some of my own steps to living a successful and fulfilled life.

1) Having A Vision: this is the very first step towards success. Vision helps you to understand what you want in life, it helps you to have a clear picture of how you want to live your life. There is the need for you to have a clear cut vision, so as to know exactly what you want. In my own opinion, I think having a vision is more powerful than having a dream. Dreams can sometimes be wishful thinking, but vision is a clear cut and well defined dream.
Futhermore, dreams come and go but visions are embedded in our hearts, thus making it impossible to forget. So, if you want to be successful in life, the first step is to have a CLEAR CUT AND WELL DEFINED VISION of what you want.

2) BELIEVE IN YOURSELF: This is very important if your vision is going to become a reality. Most times, our visions are bigger than us and we begin to think of our inadequacies. If you cant believe in yourself, then you can never pursue your vision. Be confident that you have whatever it takes for your vision to materialise. If you can come up with a vision as beautiful, powerful and wonderful as that, then you have the empowerment to achieve it.

3) ASSOCIATE WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE: The kind of people we associate with determines how far we will go in life. Like a verse in the bible says "evil communication corrupts good manners". So also, the friends we keep can make or marr us. Some friens are vision killers while some will encourage you and help you bring out the best in you. So always make it a point of duty to surround yourself with the right people.
Note; it is not every dick, tom and harry you discuss your vision with.
