Did you ever sit back and thought in surprise how some people reach the height of success and wondered how you too could become as successful as them? In fact, the proverb that success is savoured sweetest by those who have actually yearned for it is completely true as there are no shortcuts to success. So, when it comes to becoming successful no miracles happen.

Researches prove that most of us who have failed to taste the nectar of success fail to keep their resolves as we intuitively prepare ourselves up for failure. One of the prime reasons for failure is lack of awareness; we tend to pay more attention to the disadvantage of not attaining our goals. This indicates that we're giving control to fear instead of desire and passion.

So, what is the mantra for achieving success? Is there any? So, just read on and you too can pave way to success.

First thing that you require doing is being honest with yourself. The resolutions that you make should not be based on fear or inappropriate focus.

Next, make sure that your resolutions are aligned with your goals. When such a thing happens, you are sure to achieve good results.

It is very essential for you to set realistic goals. Goals to which you can devote sufficient time, money if required and support from others. At times out of over zealousness or fear, we tend to set unrealistic goals which, we fail to achieve.

Once you have set your goals, break it into small steps. These small wins can allow you to build self-confidence. In other words, success breeds success.

Now, each time you succeed, reward yourself with appreciation and kind words. Make yourself feel special.

In your zeal for achieving success, do not drag yourself too hard to be on course. You got to understand that going against the flow only on the basis of will-power will serve no good and would only lead to failure.

Share your goals and resolves with people you believe. This builds liability both from within and outside you.

Create an encouraging environment for accomplishing success. This involves mingling yourself with people who are optimistic, and having firm belief in you.

As a matter of fact, you may not always attain what you are aiming for. Yet by using the aforesaid success mantra you can definitely increase your chances of being in a better place than before.
