Simple facts of becoming GREAT

If we want to be successful in life or in anything that we do, we must know this. The most beautiful and successful people we have known are those who often have known defeat, known what suffering means, known struggle and learned from their personal loss. Those people have found their way out of those depths, they learned from their own failure. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Just like everything else in life ,beautiful people do not just happen, THEY ARE BUILT! Firstly we need to see some of those facts, and if there is a scale of those facts, in my opinion, this would be the most important ones; 
 
1. DO NOT use excuses

 Imagine that Nelson Mandela used his prisoner days as an excuse for rage against the system. Instead, he used them for learning, personal development and ultimately to release the country from the oppressive politics. Listen to your excuses, try to understand them why are you constantly making them, they< are in your head. Try to think how to use them for your own personal development and well being.

 2. Know that the "meaning of life" is NOT just you 

Things' like money etc. can be a motivational factor, but rarely can be a major motivating factor. Successful people are different from others because they contribute to positive changes in lives of others.

 3. BE the early bird who goes too sleep late

There are not many stories - successful people "worked hard" in life. They know that as long as the work is not finished, then it is not the time to interrupt your work. There is no substitute for hard work. If you want to be successful, you have to try more than others.

 4. Know that the most important thing is your "life (personal) energy" 

The more energy we have it is easier for us to focus on the goal and be great at it. Physical activity is not just about recreation, but absolutely necessary for the optimal functioning OF YOUR BRAIN. That's why exercise should be converted into a daily routine, and not overbearing obligation.

 5. YOU need to have principles.

 People who stick to their principles at any cost, they succeed even though their principals are extremely unpopular. What are your principles by which you live and whom you would never give up? Do you have them?

6. Have an UNBREAKABLE FAITH
 
We all have moments of doubt in life. What distinguishes successful people from others is the unshakable faith that what they are doing is right. Instead of being shaken, doubt further motivates successful people to show that their optimism was in place.

 7. Have a reason for doing something 

A lot of huge achievements in the history of mankind have reached insecure people who had the need to prove themselves to others. Such people have never considered a failure as a serious possibility. Distinguish why you do what you do, why you give up, why your loved ones suffer because of your commitment, why do you give so much. When you have a "WHY?", everything else comes naturally.

 8. Persistance is an achievment 

The longest journey begins with the ordinary little step, says a Chinese proverb. How much will be steps ahead of us, it is impossible to calculate. Successful people do not count steps, they already walk towards their goal, enjoying the ride because they know WHY they travel. Even when you get to the finish line, think of a new goal and then set off on a new journey. 

9. Constantly study YOUR craft.

 Nikola Tesla has spent thousands of hours studying the work of his predecessor and improving their knowledge. Michaeangelo and Leonardo before creating their masterpiece pretended countless sketches and notes. Learn from everything you get in touch with. Turn yourself into a fortress of knowledge that will help you create a great, inspiring and unique work. 

10. TAKE RISK 

Who does not risk, does not profit, says our proverb. Although it sounds cornym it is completely accurate. Billions of people throughout the history of mankind could achieve incredible goals, but are only rarely few who had guts to take risk. You want to succeed? Take a deep breath, squeeze your teeth,go for it and do your best.
