How do you achieve greatness in whatever you do?
Some get ahead of us in the race of life and success. What different do they do? How are they able to act like a star shining in this competitive night and are easily recognizable? I will share my thoughts about how some people tend to become more successful by changing a simple frame of mind and re-evaluating their thought processes.
Everybody sees dreams. Everyone wants to be somewhere in their life, so it feels worth living it. There may be goals that you craft while you study in high school, college, or at work, starting your first job, or when you are funding your new venture. The practicality and expectations from these dreams might not seem ideal in the current scenario, but your goals do exist, and you go for them.
If you analyze the big achievers of this century or even thousands of years ago, you will find one thing common in both. They connect themselves with a more significant cause, with the broader thought, with an idea more significant than them. Thinking outside the box and practically living every day like that is not everyone’s daily bread. You might have a spark in you to build something big. It can be a theory, a business, a product, or even raising a child with tremendous moral standards. However, if you do not ignite that spark with the larger flame and connect to the central fire stream, that spark will never grow and won’t take you anywhere.
If you want to stand out from the crowd and be acknowledged and respected by the people around you, try solving problems. Bring change in the life of a commoner. Try addressing someone’s everyday issues. If you are a professional marketer, help young marketing interns or students with their blunders they are making, which might cost them time and money later in life. If you are an experienced writer, help the newbies in the field and nurture them with your lifelong writing experiences. There is always something someone can contribute to someone’s life. Be the one who has the intention of doing it. Never be selfish in sharing your successful experiences and providing value to whom it may matter.
Don’t do all this, so you get fame, money, or title. Do this being a responsible human being. Take the high moral ground and contribute as a freelancer to society. The quest for inner happiness is what makes you one level up in your journey. If you devote all your life to finding the joy and the more meaningful connection within you, that spark in you will rise and enlighten the world around you, and this is how you will achieve greatness.
