We all work hard, strive for success and want to achieve some or the other thing in life. It can be as small as finishing the homework or as big as to quit drinking. When we start, we start with a belief in ourselves that yes, we will be able to do it. But as the hurdles start crossing our ways, the first thing that shakes in those hurdles is our Faith. And when that shakes, we quit before actually quitting, we lose the self-confidence and all of it seems to be suddenly an impossible task to achieve.
The feeling that " I can't do it, this work isn't for me" kills our motivation and urge to climb that stairs of success.
Just imagine the cases in front of you, Would the ant be able to climb the wall despite falling so many times from it if it lost faith? Could Mary Kom be able to again win the boxing championship after becoming a mother had she lost faith in herself?
It's all about having faith in yourself. Faith is the biggest game changer.
Once your goal is decided, having faith in yourself and proceeding towards it is the very first step.
Yes, determination, hard work, luck, knowledge are definitely very important, but what would these all do if you don't have faith in yourself?
They all go hand in hand, the success is incomplete without them.
Don't hop towards doing the first thing that rushes to your mind, take your time, understand your interest, get the knowledge of what good would that decision be in your life and do you really want to do it?
Proper planning is also very important. Smart work pays off more than hard work. Making a proper schedule and prioritizing things is very important. Doing something with irregularity and in a hap-hazard manner won't do any good. Being fully prepared to deal with whatever comes would keep you going.
Luck is also an important factor but not mostly the deciding one. If you are determined enough and know your job well, the luck factor can't do much harm in that case.
Success is not only determined by how hard you have worked, but all these factors are also important. Make sure you are completely ready and prepared before starting to work. A well-prepared and aa well-thought decision is more likely to give results than a decision taken without them.
