LESSON: How to Set Your Path
Everyone has the potential to become great, but actually acting on that potential is no easy task. Raw talent isn't enough, whether you do or don't have it.
You might have the skill to succeed but do you have the will to progress?
You need to plan out each step of your journey so here are some ideas to help you:
1. Do what you love.
Becoming great at anything will require a considerable amount of hard work, and if you aren't pursuing something you can get passionate about, your motivation for continuing will likely fade away before you can achieve the greatness you seek.
2. Set realistic goals.
It's easy to get discouraged when things go wrong. Mistakes and setbacks are inevitable, but you can avoid unnecessary troubles by setting goals that are achievable and otherwise logistically possible.
3. Stay focused.
Focus your time and energy on one major goal at a time and avoid getting pulled away by potential distractions. Devoting yourself to multiple actions will probably decrease the quality of each one. Distractions are everywhere. You have to rise above them and block them out.
4. Build a support system.
While it is possible to achieve greatness without a steady system of support, you'll find the journey much easier to continue if you have mentors and cheerleaders helping you out along the way. A small support group made of dedicated and loyal individuals can make a big difference.
5. Surrender some control.
There will inevitably be some point at which you will need to accept that someone else knows better or has more control over the way things get done. Instead of fighting that individual, it would be better for you to learn from how that person approaches the task.
Keep in mind:
You don't know everything; that much is a given. Instead of wasting energy trying to hide that very obvious and undeniable fact, you should be honest about the things you do and don't know.
Ask for help when you need it.
Live a life of purpose and leave nothing to chance
Think about it.
