2 Secrets Of Success You Need To Know

[rtaylor111]

Here are 2 critical things you must do to achieve success in any human endeavor. These two things account for more success than any other thing, and the lack of these two things have led to more failure than anything else.

What I am talking about is purpose and action. Purpose is like a plan, a goal, or a direction. Napoleon Hill considered a definitive purpose as the most powerful secret to success. And Viktor Frankl attributed purpose in his book “Man’s Search For Meaning” as the core of our existence.

So, in a sense, a purpose is like a plan. But like most plans, nothing happens until somebody takes action.

Success in any human endeavor, whether in sports, education, art, or business, requires massive action. Think about the simple analogy of a car and a trip to the grocery store.

Wanting to go to the store is a purpose. Hopping in your car and driving yourself there is action. Pretty simple stuff. But what would happen if we planned a trip to the store but never got around to starting the car? Or what would happen if we took action by starting the car and revving the engine—waiting for a purpose to come along and tell us where to go. We would be burning gas, making noise, and waking up the neighborhood—but nothing else.

Sadly, this is where most of us spend our entire lives. Some of us have big dreams or goals, but we never take action to realize those dreams. We’re basically all hat, with no cattle. And then there are people who spend their days frantically doing busy work, thinking they are getting ahead, when all they are really doing is running in circles and annoying people.

But, when you can combine a definitive purpose with the willingness and ability to take action, you become unstoppable. And, you can achieve virtually anything in this world you set mind too. Purpose and action, working together, are the secrets of success.

Thanks for your time. Appreciate your comments and feedback.

Yeah, unfortunately too many people think short term. If things don;t work out right away they jump onto something else. It takes 8 hours a day to make minimum wage, it can take a little longer to make your own path.

Great points rtaylor111!
