My ABC Steps Towards Success

 MY ABC STEPS TOWARDS SUCCESS

Episode 1

Everyone wants success but not everyone succeeds. We fail because we refuse to follow the steps towards success. Dear friend, if you want to succeed in life, these are my steps towards success. There may be many other steps framed by different people. However, if you follow these given steps faithfully, I guarantee you success in whatever you do. For easy remembrance we shall follow alphabetical order: 

A: Attention- Pay full attention in what you do. Attention is all that matters. You may study as many as 10 to 12 hours in a day, but without attention you are doing nothing. It is such a big challenge in this digital era where distraction comes from every notification. But if you really want to succeed in what you do, you have to overcome those distractions with your full attention. 

B: Best- Give your best. To me, ‘Giving my best is my greatest achievement.’ What can I do more than my best? We find satisfaction when we give our best. Let me tell you my story: During my higher secondary days I did not top my class, however the topper envied me. I worked hard and I was satisfied with my scores. She got better marks, but she was not satisfied because she didn’t give her best. We are born with different capacities, yet we can excel people who are more capable than us if we give our best in our work consistently.

C: Consistency- You may pay full attention and give your best in your work but if you are not consistent, it will lead you to nowhere. Rome was not built in a day. I learn a very important lesson from Nas Daily. Nuseir Yassin is an Israeli-Arab video blogger who created 1,000 daily 1-minute videos on Facebook, under the page Nas Daily. With that consistency he has become very successful and popular. He has now 17 million followers. He currently operates the Nas Daily Corporation, a video production company that uploads inspirational videos on a weekly basis. Martin Luther once said, “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have too keep moving forward.’’

D: Discouragement- Our next step towards success is to overcome discouragement.  Discouragement comes in everyone's life. He who is vanquished by it ends in bitterness and regret. There are so many reasons which can discourage us, we must overcome and move on towards our goal. This leads us to our next step- 

E: Excuse- Excuses are for losers. Ask any successful person you may know, they will tell you the way toward success was never smooth. If you are someone who complains about the unfavorable conditions in your life, you have to check your attitude. Good roads do not make a good driver, and smooth seas do not make a skilled sailor. With the struggles and difficulties, you faced you become a better person. 

F: Failure- Failure is not opposite to success but it is one of the steps towards success. Not trying is opposite to success. Giving up is the opposite to success. Fear for failure is opposite to success. Failure is not the opposite to success. We learn more by failures. You may fail in life but as long as you are willing to take the next step you are not a loser. 

I want to end today’s episode with a verse from the Bible, “If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬.

We shall continue the next steps in the next episode. 

Till then, bye. 

Thank you for your time and attention.
