Embrace Success

A small writing on how to achieve success according to some key points that contains all the past philosophy and all the present narrative.

success is a word top in our society, dear readers, today I just want to give you some very basic rules of success that are common both in classic philosophies and in any book on self-help, growth, entrepreneurship, etc.

Rule 1: Trust yourself

And this is the first and most basic rule. Protagoras already said: “Man is the measure of all things “. Therefore, do not compare yourself, just measure yourself, you yourself are the measure of everything, and if you are not well, you must begin to be well to be successful in your personal, work and filial life. Self-esteem is closely linked to this concept, have good self-esteem, work on it, trust yourself.

Unfortunately within this precept I must give you another piece of advice, dear reader. The advice is:-Don’t listen to the negative, to the envious, to those who have never tried.-. Unfortunately, the mind is usually focused on avoiding failure, as a way of protection, and you will hear many voices that will tell you: “It’s very dangerous, you can’t, I wouldn’t do it“. Just listen to the positive ones and those who have tried to realize where not to fail. REMEMBER: You are the measure of all things.

Rule 2: Make a difference, don’t fall into the average

Michael John Bobak: “All success takes place outside the comfort zone “If you don’t leave your comfort zone, innovate, train yourself in something new, become kinder or courteous than the rest, if you don’t make a difference with another aspect, it will be difficult to stand out. To make a difference you just have to go out of the comfort zone, so you will automatically be making a difference. If your comfort zone takes time away from your purpose, business, partner, etc., take time away from that zone.

Rule 3: Don’t be afraid to fail

Not trying is a daily suicide, and it may become an eternal thought. The mind tends to to procrastinate to protect ourselves and leave things for tomorrow, but tomorrow is an excuse to do nothing today. Don’t be afraid to start, failure will always be a cross to walk with if you don’t succeed, but the human being has a curious and unique quality that no other species shares and that is: You can always start over. Edison failed 999 times to make the perfect light bulb and fascinated us all with this phrase recorded for history: “I didn’t fail, I just discovered 999 ways not to make a light bulb.”

Rule 4: Stay in constant motion

The wise Hermetician said: “Everything is in constant motion, nothing stops, everything flows, nothing is still “ Every day do something, read a little, do a small task, move with small steps towards your goal. Small steps taken well are what take us to the peak of success. Even if it’s a day of rest and relaxation, give yourself 10 minutes to think about your goal, a small-scale goal to get to the top. It is important to remain the hermetic principle in constant motion. I want to confess that today I am sick and despite this I wanted to write this, this is my little past for today.

Rule 5: Get better day by day

Different studies on successful people corroborate each other that successful people look for small daily improvements. Many times we fall into the occurrence of the great miracle and the magical-mystical change. Well, this can happen if you really have 15 minutes of your time a day to dedicate to a small miracle. Seek to improve yourself by reading, working on your strengths, seeking help to improve, read the classic philosophers, do good works, improve your intellect with an APP. I challenge you to this little miracle, dedicate 15 minutes a day to seeking personal improvement in some sense, then when 21 days have passed, stop for a second and look back, surely you have come such a long way that you will see a miracle under your feet.

Rule 6: Share your successes; help others, be inspiring

Please be inspiring, share, help, do not follow the pattern of negative opinions that live on the internet hidden under the mask of hate. Give what you have achieved to others. Help with what you have earned, share your success and you will reap more success. I’ll just tell you something else here; A leader, a successful person, does not hide his success, he helps others to be successful.

Rule 7: Reward your achievements, never underestimate your efforts

When you achieve something, no matter how small, reward yourself. Whatever the case, reward yourself with a compliment, with a treat, with something you want, this will keep your motivation. And remember one last thing: “The most influential person you will talk to all day is you. Be careful then what you say to yourself.” So reward yourself, never forget that you are worth a lot.

Dear readers, I hope you can apply these rules, a big hug and I tell you, keep going, don’t be afraid, fulfill your dreams. EMBRACE SUCCESS!
