Success-Strategy

If I were to guess about most normal humans, I think that I would probably say that most of us like to feel good about our life's work in review of Success-Strategy.  We like to feel good about what we do, how we do it and we want and need others to see it that way.  The reason I say this is because when I was taking some nursing classes and I studied Psychology for a short time; I learned that basic human nature in all of us is the same. It is only greater in some, more than others.  We all have the same need to be loved, to be appreciated, to be acknowledged as being successful or praised and to be regarded as someone of value.  If we consider this, then we know where we start with Success-Strategy.

I'll bet you might be saying; hey wait a minute, I don't think we are that much alike, you must have misunderstood something.  Well, I think if we sit back and review everybody you know, I don't think you could tell me any different...I am not a professional but just look around you and the people you know and ask yourself just how different they are to you in the "basic" needs of life.  Do you know of anyone that really does not need love, or appreciation, or praise?  We all love it and need it to live a Successful life.  It makes us live longer, it gives us something or someone to help us feel good about ourselves.  There is nothing that feels better than for someone to say those three little words....I love you.  I don't think it is said enough but these words are so powerful.  We all need to hear that we are doing our job well....it gets pretty hum-drum going to work for many years and not getting any response from our employer that we are doing a good job. If we are going to help ourself with Success of any kind then is is evident we will probably need to work on our personal growth and know what our strengths are.

Success-Strategy I believe would be something we do without even knowing it, especially when you see those people who seem to have their priorities in place and that are Successful and have been within their relationships, their work and life itself.  Somewhere they had a life Strategy.  There was a plan, a method or some forethought that was given to how they treat others, how they do their job, how they prepare themselves for failures as well as successes, and even how they live their life on a daily basis.  There was a mental preparation for when they win and when they lose whether is in their private life or their professtional life.  If our character is strong in that we believe in always doing what is right, then we know upfront that no matter what the circumstance is; we have done the right thing and we are prepared for the results, be it good or bad.  Success-Strategy is not about how we are going to out-do someone else, I do not think; it is about how we can do something better, more profitable for our on self reliance.  If we try to out-do someone else; I think we are wasting valuable time and a part of our life that we can't do over.  If we are trying to be better than someone else for these reason or should I say the wrong reason; we are only setting ourself up for failure. 

Success is not something that is given to anyone, it is something that is earned with labor, much inner thought and a lot of self sacrifice.  We can't get to the top of our game...whatever that might be for anyone, without preparing, without a little more work than just the normal eight hours....be it a job or private life.  A lot people give more to the job than their family and this is really setting oneself up for failure.  There must be a balance and it takes a lot of self awareness to pull it all off within the proper perspective. If we need education, we must get it.  If we need to keep up with the latest trends and it means after hours at work or study, we must do it.  If we need to spend quality time with the family, this is something we had better do...first!  Success-when-is-it-enough   is what we should look at when we get to the place that we cannot give our family what is necessary.  There is no success in life that is worth losing one's family.  If it means losing your family, then you are definitely in the wrong ballpark.

I think having a Success-Strategy is important to doing it right.  It is important in keeping us in line so that we do not forget what is most important, who is most important and a balance in our life.  Success-Strategy is a tactic to help us make sure we live our life according to a good plan not one that is self-centered or of failure.
