3 Questions, 3 Answers and Unlimited Success
Everyone defines success differently. Some people define success as finding a job with benefits and paid vacation. Others define success as being able to retire at 30 years old with millions of dollars in the bank. These definitions are different but they are important because they are important to those that have created these definitions of success. While the definition of success is different for everyone, it takes more to become successful than a clear definition of the word.
To be successful, people have to take action. The first course of action for those that want to become successful is to answer these questions:
- What exactly do you want to do?
- What do you have to do to get it?
- What are you willing to give to ensure you are successful?
Question One: What exactly do you want?
This is the question that makes most people quit before they start. This question requires an honest answer and that honesty may shock even the person that’s answering the question.
As people answer this question, they have to think about their passions. What are they happy doing even if they couldn’t get paid for it. People have to ask where their passions lie and follow those passions to discover what they really want to do. It’s hard for many people to be this honest because they are conditioned to achieve respectable goals.
While some goals are conventional, not everyone is meant to live a conventional life. People should always follow their passions and those passions will lead them on an exciting and satisfying path.
Question Two: What do you have to do to get it?
Yes, this question builds on question one. If someone knows what they want to do in life, they should know how to get it.
This is what makes many people uncomfortable. Admitting what one wants to do in life is hard because of the honesty. Determining what must be done to achieve it makes millions of people nervous. They get nervous because they have to think as if they are going to accomplish their dreams. While it’s an uncomfortable thought, it’s brilliant.
This question is designed to force people to imagine their life if they were to pursue their dreams. To answer this question, they must actually believe they are going to pursue their goal. That is a powerful exercise that inspires most people to act.
Question Three: What are you willing to give to ensure success?
This question is often the most sobering and often what makes people bring their dreams into reality or forces them to continue with life as they know it.
Everyone that’s successful has had to invest in 3 things. They invested time, money and commitment. That’s it. Time, money and commitment is what set them apart from all the other dreamers in life.
People have to ask themselves, how much time do they have to pursue their dreams. How much time do they have realistically to pursue their passion and set themselves up for success?
After determining how much time they have, people have to think of how to finance their dreams. How much money do they have to invest in their goals and making them come true. Millions of people are on a tight budget so money stops millions from becoming their best. While it’s hard for some to believe, people that are determined enough will find the money to invest in their dreams.
The last part will require the most sacrifice. Committing to something is always hard. Those that have become successful have stopped doing things they normally would just to make time for their goals and dreams. There are some that have missed special events with friends and family and given up fun vacations all to make their dreams come true. The question that people must ask themselves is this: What are they willing to sacrifice to meet their commitment?
As people think of the answers to these 3 questions, they are often shocked at the answers. It’s easy to say they want to live the life of their dreams and never get started. Most don’t get started because they don’t know where to start. The starting point for anyone that wants what they dream of lies in the answers of the 3 questions asked.
