Eight Steps to Success in Life – Can You Expect to Be Successful? – By Kevin J. John
Every day you have to face up to an increasing number of challenges, just keeping your head above water is hard. Can you really expect to be successful? The answer is yes you can – and the more you expect success the more likely you are to achieve it!
An extensive study of successful people has shown that one of the important factors in their success was not their opportunities early on in life or the difficulties they faced. It was something much simpler. The difference was whether they expected to be successful or not.
Let me repeat that important point. People who expect to be successful are more likely to be successful.
What you think is what you are
One of the eight steps to success in life is to maintain a positive attitude. This is especially true when it comes to your expectations of success. If you expect to be a successful person, you will spend the majority of your time thinking of yourself as successful. What you think about is what you become.
Consider two people. The first person fully and confidently expects to be successful in life. The second person fully expects to fail. We’ll start them off with the same opportunities and problems to overcome…
If you expect success you will encounter the same challenges as the other person, but you won’t get put off by the problems you encounter. The successful person views problems as learning opportunities or at worst, nothing more than minor delays on the way to inevitable success.
On the other hand, if you expect failure, you’re going to find it very discouraging every time something goes wrong. Problems you encounter are just going to reinforce your expectations of failure. Problems are seen as roadblocks and major pitfalls as you struggle to maintain your status quo. Very soon, you’re going to be falling behind that person with higher expectations of success.
Improve your success quotient
The chances are you expectations of success vary from day to day and with the different goals you are trying to achieve in your life. If you are attempting something that you are confident is going to be easy for you, you will have a high expectation of success and a very good chance of being successful.
On the other hand, if you are tackling a really daunting task, your expectations of success will be much lower…
The important thing is your average expectation of success. If you expect to succeed at most things and just fail occasionally you are likely to have a successful life. If you expect to fail at most things and just occasionally succeed, your life will be correspondingly less successful.
Wherever you are now, if you want more success in life you need to work on improving your expectations of success. Applying the principles of the eight steps to success can help you to raise your expectations of success and make you more successful.
