So you want to know the commandments of success in life? Everyone wants to be successful however not everyone gets to live the dream life they imagined for themselves. While Luck or Sheer Chance surely plays a role in what you get out of life, most of what you will get will be in direct proportion to the habits you choose to adopt.
The more you adopt the habits below the more you become in control of your own destiny and dramatically increase your odds of success. The question is would you rather leave everything to chance or would you to become the driver of your own fate (as far as possible). If the answer is the former you can quit reading this article right now. If the answer is the latter, keep reading on and learn the ten commandments of success!
- Do, don’t just dream.
The first commandment of success is to get into the action habit. It’s amazing how a lot of people want to get everything without doing. Getting into the action habit or the habit of doing things will raise your odds of success tremendously.
We often pray so that we have everything land on our lap without effort. While that may happen occasionally much of what you will get in life will be in direct proportion to your habit for action. If you are someone who only waits for things to happen on their own you will keep waiting for a boat to rescue you, which may or may not happen. But if you are in the habit of doing, you will build your own boat and rescue yourself.
- Learn Constantly
The second commandment of success is to constantly learn. The key to success is to become a master of one thing and then learning how you can provide value to a group of people through what you became a master at. It doesn’t mean you cannot be a master in more than one thing but it is much more achievable to focus on one. Commit to becoming an expert in your field. In fact shoot for being number one, because the benefits of being number one are not marginally but exponentially higher than being number two.
Google is not marginally more used than other search engines, it is used tremendously more. Facebook is not used marginally more than other social networks, it is the number one by far. As a consequence, their founders have been raking in money. Learn and commit to your craft and become number 1 at it. The benefits you will receive are going to be tremendously more than being just good enough or being number 2.
