Peaks Success Close

There are many keys to success in the way we live our life and how we discover them is through our development and maturity as we go through this journey of life. In my opinion though, there are three crucial keys to success in life that must be a part of any well thought out success plan and without these, you are unlikely to achieve the success you desire.

The major three keys to success in life are your attitude, the goals you set for yourself and ultimately the action you take on those goals. When these three keys to success in life are correctly positioned and aligned with each other, you have an 100% greater chance of being all that you want to be and more. If you look at anyone who has achieved great success in their lives, they have probably attributed these three keys to a major part of their overall success in life.

Attitude The one thing that separates someone from being a success in life from someone that doesn't is having a great attitude. The great Earl Nightingale said in his book, "Lead The Field", that attitude was the magic word. It can change everything about your outlook on life. The achievers of this world look at things not from a perspective of 'I wish', but 'I will'. They don't look for difficulties, they look for solutions. Unlike the majority, they learn from any mistakes that they make and have the self belief to not let anything deter them.

Goals How can you expect to reach your destination, without knowing where you are going to. Your success in life depends on the plan you set for yourself. It is not the blowing of the wind, but the setting of the sail that determines your destination. Without the setting of goals, you will end up on a rudderless path to possibly nowhere. You are living your life by chance!

Begin to set goals and write them down. That way, you can put them to the back of your mind and look at them at any time you wish to make sure you are well on course to achieving them. Set short-term, medium-term and long-term goals. Make a life plan! Present to six months for your short-term, one year to five years for your medium-term and anything over five years to ten years for your long-term goals.

Action The last of the three keys to success in life is probably the most important of all. Without action nothing will happen. You can dream all you like, have the right attitude, put all your goals down on paper, but without taking action on them, nothing is going to materialise. Just make a start! It is amazing to think that such a simple task is probably the hardest. Once you do this, you will never look back. Yes, you're going to have a few bumps in the road, but with the great attitude you now have, the keys to success in life are now in place.
