Have you ever thought about what kind of extraordinary life you want to
have in the future? Wait, or do you think that living a great life is
even possible for you? Do not worry, everyone has the same opportunity
to live the successful life they desire, if they follow through and
acknowledge these 5 golden life principles…
1. Life is hard
Yes, admit it, life is hard. Some people may say that if we think
that life is hard, it will be hard for us. This is true, but somehow you
do not want to live an ordinary life. What you want is something
different, something special that makes you happy, wealthy, satisfied,
healthy and more. In other words, you want to live a successful life,
which is not something easy to achieve.
And you are going to create all the amazing results out from nothing.
I believe that we all start from the same point. We are not rich and
this is why we are pursuing for wealth. Therefore, life is going to be
hard, but if you are willing to work on it, you can create amazing
results in your life and make it extraordinary.
It is just like what Bill Gates says, ‘life is not easy and it is unfair’.
You cannot choose which country you want to be born in and you cannot
choose what family you want to be in as well. What you can do if you are
the less fortunate one is to tough it out. Although that life can be
hard and unfair, we all are presented with the same opportunity to
succeed in life.
You can live the kind of life you want and be successful no matter
who you are, even if you are uneducated or handicapped. If you are poor
today, it is great news because most rich people were once poor in their
lives and that is what makes them to achieve more in their lives. If
you are uneducated or a college dropout, it does not really matter
because there are a lot of successful people out there who are the same
with you. If you are handicapped, you can still use your potential to
make a difference in life, just like Nick Vujicic.
So accept that life is not easy and you have to sweat to climb before
you reach to the top. The most important lesson for you to learn here
is that everyone of us are presented with the same opportunity to be
successful in life.
2. You cannot control everything
The second life principle is that you simply cannot control
everything. Yes, some things happen in our lives without our control.
Just like an accident, you simply cannot control it. I believe that
nobody here wishes to be in an accident, but somehow it will just
happen.
Like natural disaster, nobody can control it, but it will happen
anyway. Narrow the scope down to a smaller area in your daily life, you
cannot control what your boss, your colleagues and your friends think
about you as well. However, what you can do is to control your own
thoughts and emotion.
Here is the key lesson, you cannot control the wind, but you can
definitely control your sail to reach your destination. To put it in
another perspective, we cannot control what happen most of the time, but
we can surely control our thoughts and our emotion.
When a car overtakes you while driving, what will you think and how
do you feel? Some people will get angry and try to overtake that car.
Some people will just feel nothing because to them, it is just simply
traffic. What do you feel when your boss scold you because you are not
doing your work well enough? It depends, you can get angry and quit. Or
you can learn from the experience and think of it as that your boss
really cares about you and your work and he really wants you to improve.
In fact, this golden life principle is going to be the key factor
that will determine your success in life. You cannot control most of the
event out there and because of this; you have to learn to control your thought and your emotion.
Whenever you understand about this, you can then create the
extraordinary results you want in life because no matter what happen to
you, you will always look for a brighter side that can help you move
forward in life.
3. Everything happens for a reason
The third golden life principle is that everything in life happens
for a reason. There must be a cause to every effect, just like what has
been explained by the Law of Cause and Effect. You will reap what you
sow, period.
If you are hard working right now and you take consistent action
toward your goals, you will eventually achieve what you want in the
future. It is not by accident. You can plan for it and you can create the results that you want.
If you fail your examination, there must be a reason behind it as
well. It can be that you are not hard working enough to study the
subject, or it can be many other reasons. The point is that it happens
for a reason. In case if something bad such as an accident happen to
you, guess what, there is a reason for it as well.
I am not saying that you deserve it when something bad happen, it is
just that everything happens for a reason. If an accident happens, it
must have something that has triggered it. It could be careless driving
and so on. The main point is for you to understand that living a
successful life is not by luck or chance, it is purely by design because
there is a reason for it to happen.
4. You can learn anything you want
Another awesome life principle is that you can learn anything you
want in life. There are tons of information available to you in the
internet. Remember, we are living in an information age, there are all
sort of information available to us with a click of a mouse.
So make good use of this. What you can do with all this information
is that you can learn to become who you want to be. You can learn
through books, articles, workshops, audio learning and many more these
days. You can learn how to cook better, how to be a better parent, how
to plant a bonsai, how to fish, how to play golf, how to make money from
the internet and many more. The possibility is unlimited.
This information is available to most people out there. Thus, use
this information wisely to help you getting what you want in your life.
Make it habit to always learn and improve your knowledge and skill.
5. You can be lucky as well
Do you think that successful people are lucky? Do you think that you
need luck to be successful? Like what you have learned above, success is
by design, not by luck or chance. As long as you work hard and smart to
move toward your goal and your dream, you will eventually reach there.
So what if you think that you are unlucky? Well, you can increase your luck by working harder and never give up on what you want.
For example, Soichiro Honda is someone who increases his luck through
hard work and never gives up. He eventually created the Honda
Corporation and earned handsome rewards. You can read about his
biography and you will understand why and how he increased his luck.
Now, use these 5 principles to help you in your journey to success.
