8 Rules of Success You Must Master to Be Successful in Life

Success means different things for different people; For some it might be getting a job you have always wanted, for others it might mean running your own business. Success to some might mean living a simple happy life while others enjoy the intricacies and challenges that the world presents.

To put it simply, success means turning your desire into reality. Most people still get it wrong though. Success isn't a destination. You don't set your goes on being successful instead you can really become good at something as a result and in the eyes of others, you will be seen as successful. Success is a side benefit of winning the game that you playing.

Below are 8 rules of success you must master to be successful in life:

Have a vision and a plan or all you will be left with are dreams: People who don't know where they want to go get swept off in the current and their lives are no longer theirs. Other people will choose for you; who you are, what you do, what you like, who you marry and what you do with your spare time and more until there is nothing left of the person you once thought you were.

If you want to be successful, you need a North star. You need to have a target; a clear goal which all of your efforts are focused on.

If you don't ask, the answer is no: This means you means every opportunity you don't go for. In almost all cases even if you don't get the answer you wanted the default result is your current state. You are not losing anything but a bit of time and considering your current situation, you have got plenty of time. Most people are not willing to start anything because they don't want to waste time. The truth is your time is never wasted in trying new things. There is no downside in trying. Here is the secret behind it; it is a numbers game. Many successful businesses tried more than one business before they became successful. We don't hear often of how they fail at the beginning, all we see is the one business that succeeded.

Don't become an obstacle to yourself because you feel you don't know your passion. You can only know your true passion in life after you have tried things.

80% done now is better than 100% never: we are perfectionists and that's why not that much get done. People are obsessed about the littlest of things and ret stuck in the process to the point where they just abandoning their entire efforts. The world is better off with little value put out than it is without any of it. Your job is to get the value out as soon as possible. This teaches you more about the world, about yourself than anything else. If you want to be successful you have to stop self-sabotaging, everything will never be perfect. Get out there and build on top of the feedback you have.
Time will pass anyway, you might as well use it: many people think they have time and so they think they can afford to waste it. Reality hit you hard when you realise time picking up speed as you progress in life. Can you believe how fast the half of this year has passed or what about how quickly 10 years has passed. Time will pass anyway so five years from now you might as well have your degree, career or the business you want.

The choices you are making right now will determine where you will be 10 years from now. If you want to be successful later on make the choices today that allow you to get there in the future.

Nobody is coming to save you, you have to save yourself: if you Want to be successful, understand that you can't excape the hard work requirement. As much as you are trying to play the game safe, find short cut, at one point or the other you will find yourself facing that track and you will have to run that race yourself. If you feel somebody will come to save you one day, the question is what happens nobody comes? You need a plan for yourself and make it happen. If what you want is not available, find a way to create it. If you think there is a cheap cut to Success, you must think again.

If you have chosen to swim in a deep water with uncertainty, risk and reward, you better start swimming because there is no guarantee a lifeguard will show up on time. Take ownership of your present and the Future.

Be grateful for what you have, but you should always want more: this is something people to say to successful people, "you have done so much, you have achieved enough, you should take a break." Here is the thing about that, "there is no limit to how much good you can do." The more you work the more opportunity you have to help you have. Why would you take a break when you are winning and your work is helping you and those around you to live a better life?

People grow up with this mindset of limited resources. Live life appreciating what you have, be grateful for the life you are living right now. Be grateful for what you have everyday. Take ten minutes every morning to write down things you are grateful for and see how your life will change. Most people are unable to live a happy life or do things because they feel they have nothing in life, when you write down things you have, you will be shocked at how life has been gracious to you. Be grateful for your, life, health, family, income, shelter, food and more.

Success comes as a result of putting order into chaos: if you are living in chaos, the likelihood of success is slim. By now, we know that "luck is not a Strategy." Every successful individual has become successful by putting order into chaos. That's what solving problems actually is. Problems are chaotic; They freak everyone out that we don't know what to do, when someone comes along and solve this problem, the chaos is tired into order. All you need to do in life is to find chaos and give it order and people will thank you for it.

The mind can't focus in a chaotic environment. How chaotic is your room, your car or anything? Put order to them. You want to put order in your life? Start small; Make your bed and organise your room. Create a to-do list every morning. Organise your every hour. Think ahead of what you intend to do every day.

Hardships are life's way of testing "How badly you want it": Sometimes life puts some big road blocks on your way. Always understand that it is testing to know how badly you want it. Many people give up when they meet with challenges not knowing one more step will yield the results they have always wanted. The fact you have come this far and are facing this should be a sign that you are on the right part. Know that "Hardships are just opportunities for you to evolve." it is hard because you are not strong enough to overcome it, that is exactly why you need to face it. The process of overcoming it will force you to grow, to be more than you currently are. Hardships are part of everyone's journey but this what happens," everytime you encounter a problem life is testing you if you are worthy of what's beyond it." most people won't be able to overcome it so they won't get the price. Often, 9 out of every 10 businesses will fail. The one that survives is the one worthy of the price. Never be faced by obstacles, difficulties, problems and Run away. If you can solve them, you have proven to life you are worthy of the price. If you want to be successful, overcome the problems ahead of you. Never give up.
