The 8 Silver Bullets You Can Use To Nail Your Success

Want to hear some of saddest words in English?

“If only…”

“I wish…”

“It will get better.”

“I’ll wait and see.”

“Maybe…

The list goes on but you get my drift.

Most of us will just sit down and mope when things get bad.

That’s will practically ensure we are always at the mercy of the waves of life’s ocean.

However, success is not rocket science.

Everything you get is exactly what you ask for.

Everything you do in life will set you on the path you walk and where it takes you.

That’s whether you realize it or not.

And whether you like it or not.

The way you talk, the way you dress, the way you interact with others, your attitude, your strengths and your failures…all these things are giving you EXACTLY what you are getting.

With that in mind, it might be a damned good idea to stand up and take stock of your situation, don’t you think?

Because if you go around in life constantly miffed because you are not getting what you think you deserve, you are setting yourself up for just one thing.

You are going to die a grumpy, frustrated little fucker – and you’ll get buried with that chip still on your shoulder too.

Now that we know which way the thing swings, let’s make some of our own waves in life’s ocean.

Here are a few tips that will help you break out of the everyday rut and set you up for success.

 

#1: PLAN YOUR FUTURE

You know the old line that says if you fail to plan you plan to fail, right?

Lewis Carrol was a bit more poetic when he said:

“If you don’t know where you are going, then any road will get you there.”

Do you have a plan?

Do you know where you will be in 6 months? A year? 5 years? 10 years from now?

If you don’t, find a quiet place, get a piece of paper and pencil and write down every milestone right now.

Most of you are going to be surprised about how unclear you are about where you really are going.

PLANNING is the blueprint to creating your own future – and the golden key is right in YOUR hands.

 

#2: BE REALISTIC WITHOUT BEING TIED DOWN

I love big plans.

I do believe that nothing can get in your way if you really put your mind to it.

That said, a little realism does not hurt.

If you are 40 years old, and you plan on being the next Roger Federer, or the next Pele, or even the next Tiger Woods (sans public baggage) then you might be wading into the realm of fantasy a bit too much.

Use your known strengths and your current talents and build on those, rather than going way out there and building a castle on dreams.

Planning something outrageous is great…as long as it’s built on solid foundations.

 

#3: TIME TO GROW UP AND LET GO

The Universe is a dynamic, ever-changing entity.

Everything around us is in a constant state of evolution.

Situations, relationships, feelings, thoughts – they are all affected and modified with time.

As we grow and learn more about who we are, we need to realize that what was good for us in the past, might not be good for us in the present.

The lifestyle you have been living yesterday no longer applies to the you that you are today.

The people and places you have been around all your life no longer align with or complement your (hopefully) elevated values.

This is the time when you need to find the strength and internal fortitude move on.

Yes, this one is going to be tough.

I have been there more times than I can count.

Sometimes, hanging on is a sign of great strength.

However, letting go can be a sign of an even greater strength than that.

And strength does not have to come only from within.

A strong supportive, loving shoulder of that rare person who puts you before themselves will always make the journey much easier.

So, reach out and hold the hand of someone that truly loves you – and make that leap of faith.

 

#4: IT’S ABOUT THE WHO, NOT ABOUT THE WHAT

In my idea of the world as we make it, it’s always best to think of WHO you are and want to be, when planning your goals.

It’s about passion and personal achievement.

It’s about defining yourself as a person, through the effect you have on others.

It’s never about material possessions or wealth.

Being the richest corpse in the morgue is worthless to me.

Going to bed knowing that today, I changed the life of just one person for the better, is where it’s at for me.

I want people to point a finger at me and say “Because of you, I became a better version of myself. Because of you, I didn’t give up!”

That is my quest for immortality.

It doesn’t even have to be anything spectacular.

Even simply listening to someone – REALLY listening – can make the world of a difference to that person.

So, who’s life have YOU made better today?

 

#5: BE ACCOUNTABLE

Be responsible for your actions.

Stand up and be counted.

Always admit it if you fucked up – and trust me, everyone fucks up somewhere.

But making mistakes is not the end of the world – as long as you learn from them.

The first thing is to ADMIT it.

Then, once you admit it, go all out to fucking fix it.

And, above all, be ruthlessly honest.

Gray areas are not allowed.

Pride is not your friend.

And neither is time.

Waste not, want not.

 

#6: USE THE HATERS

Hey, haters are a sign of success.

After all, if they are hatin’, it means you are at least one step ahead, doing something they are only dreaming about.

Dissatisfied friends and even family members can drain you dry and turn you into a cesspool of negativity, if you let them get to you.

So, use your eyes, and be wise.

You cannot afford to waste even one second with negative emotions.

First of all, protect yourself, of course.

Don’t put yourself in needlessly precarious situations.

Then, feed on the positives, and use the hate as motivation for your next step.

Haters need negativity and misery like oxygen.

Be happy and successful – and watch the useless fuckers choke on that.

 

#7: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

Let’s face it.

You are more like to meet baddies than goodies in this life of ours.

And that’s one ugly fact of life.

A lot of people are just too negative for their own good.

And the good of others as well.

It’s a constant litany of “I can’t”, “I am so unlucky”, “I don’t deserve this”, “He/She gets all the luck”…blah de blah blah!

Misery, after all, loves company.

So, the odds are that the truly good people in your life will be very few.

So, when you DO find someone worthwhile…hang on to them with every ounce of your might.

They are the true jewels in your life.

And, last time I checked, jewels are not strewn around everywhere.

 

#8: NEVER ACCEPT THE STATUS QUO

I loathe mediocrity.

It kills passion quicker than anything I know.

Sadly, most people prefer to be where they are, rather than strive to get to where they deserve to be.

Yes I said most.

So, now you know it.

Be a one percenter. Get outside your comfort zone. Get shit done.

Be different. Be meaningful.

Don’t waste your life being just another wannabe.

Stand out from the crowd.

It’s not easy – but if you are looking for easy, you shouldn’t even be reading this anyway.

Always be that awesome purple cow!

 

CONCLUSION

Success is the reward of those who leverage their energies, creativity, talents and street smarts (intelligence has nothing to do with it) to becoming a better “who am I” rather than “what I possess”.

Luck is where preparation and reaction meet opportunity.

It’s about seeing a silver lining in every single problem that comes your way.

After all, good and bad luck will happen to everyone.

But only those who can manipulate both to their advantage will get anywhere.

So, WHO do you want to be?

A wannabe or a go-getter?

Rock it like a hurricane, my friends!
