In the book, Mastery by
Robert Greene, he talks
about how some people
are born with higher IQ’s
and have a lot more
natural talent than others.
They are usually out-
shined by someone who
has a lower IQ and a lot
less natural talent.
Examples of this
phenomenon can be
Charles Darwin and Sir
Francis Galton. Galton had
an exceptionally high IQ and was a child prodigy in
science, while Darwin admitted to be an ordinary
person. Yet, Darwin is now more widely known and
accepted as the more prestigious, superior scientist.
We can also see this in
other examples with Bill
Gates and other people
who were not the best in
their class, but became
more successful. What
are their secrets and how
can you reach this massive
level of success?
Below I am going to share
with you 6 things that will
help you reach a massive
level of success.
1. Follow your passion
and turn it into a dream
We all have similar brains, but we all have different
personalities. This observation lets us realize that
our brains may react to certain stimuli in a different
way, and that we all think differently. Because our
brains react to different stimuli, we are ultimately
attracted to different things in life.
Certain things spark up our brain and we become
fascinated. Those things we become fascinated by in
life are the things we were meant to do. We lose our
sense of those fascinations and what we are
passionate about because we force ourselves
to conform to getting a job we don’t like in order to
have financial stability.
This is the wrong path to follow if you want to achieve
massive amounts of success, you must re-find those
things that fascinate you and master them. Mastering
a subject you are passionate about will take you to
new heights because you will find enough
determination and persistence to know more
than anyone else.
This will make you successful because you will have
more to offer than anyone else. Begin to take this and
dream of the life you want to live by following your
passions and the things that excite you.
2. Have a sense of realization
Once you start to work on your craft and develop a
sense of how you want your life to be, you must come
to realize that this process will not happen overnight.
Mastering a craft and becoming successful takes a lot
of hard work and patience. You have to do
something every day that will help you
achieve success.
This will require dedication, willpower, and sacrifice.
You must have this type of realization because if you
constantly believethat you can become an overnight
success, you will be disappointed, and this will hinder
your journey in achieving success.
3. Improve yourself
Not only do you want to master your craft to be
successful, but you also want to master yourself. Lao
Tzu once said that “ Mastering others is strength.
Mastering yourself is true power.” The most
successful people in the world, and the people who
rise in the career field, work on themselves more
than they work on their craft. You must
constantly find ways to improve and stay healthy.
4. Take small steps
You cannot leap into success. Take small steps and
start from the bottom, building a foundation of
knowledge. Start on the smallest projects and do them
to the best of your ability. Excellence is a habit, so
you must make it a priority to do everything with
excellence and work your way up the ladder.
Taking on too much at a time will drain you. Start small
and put your 100% focus into that. Remember,
massive success is achieved through the sum
of small efforts.
5. Enjoy the ride
Achieving success is a journey. We all want to reach
success rapidly because we believe that the
destination will be the best part of our lives. We
believe that the best part is the end. Well, not so
much. Yes, reaching success will be fantastic, but we
must also enjoy the process and develop our
character as much as possible.
Enjoy everything you learn and every person you meet
along the way. It is critical to build your character on
the road to success, because the person you become,
will determine if you stay successful. There will be
failures on the road, but enjoy them. Know that every
failure and mistake has made you stronger.
6. Stay focused
There are so many distractions in the world. You have
to find a sense of discipline and perseverance.
Distractions are the enemy to success and the enemy
to opportunities. Organize yourself, your thoughts,
and when it is time to work, stay focused. Turn off
all electronics and stay away from all social media.
Clear your life of unnecessary clutter. You will feel a lot
better about yourself and have clarity in your
goals. We must remember that our ability to focus is
an evolutionary trait that helped us become one of the
most powerful species on the planet. Once we realize
this and put it to use, we realize just how powerful we
are.
