How to take that first step to become successful?

The best way to become successful in life is to make personal mission statement. It focuses on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based. Each individual is unique, a personal mission statement will reflect that uniqueness.

A personal mission statement based on correct principles becomes so powerful that every human being won’t need to watch any motivational videos to become consistent to work hard. With a mission statement, we can flow with changes. We don’t need prejudgments or prejudices. We don’t need to figure out everything else in life, to stereotype and categorize everything and everybody in order to accommodate reality.

But the worst part is people don’t like change. Our personal environment is also changing at an ever-increasing pace. Such rapid change burns out a large number of people who feel they can hardly handle it, can hardly cope with life. They become reactive and essentially give up, hoping that the things that happen to them will be good.

Once you have that sense of mission, you have the essence of your own proactivity. You have the vision and the values which direct your life. You have the power of a written statement based on correct principles, against which every decision concerning the most effective use of your time, your talents, and your energies can be effectively measured.
