The concept of success is always made present and given due importance, whether in the aspect of career, relationship, or even in one's vocation. That is why series of books and guides for success have been published and bought by many individuals. It goes to show that human as we are, we value and seek success on whatever form we interpret it to be. We aim for success in our lifetime either consciously or unconsciously.
However, the big question is why on earth we are still not successful; even on a relative standard we still lack an inch towards achieving success. What separates us from a relatively successful individual is the main query of our simple minds. Most experts would tell us and as sometimes personally experienced by us, that one of the key elements for success is practice. It is through series of routine activities that one may develop the capacity to instantaneously actualize his potentiality, especially when presented with obstacles and challenges. It is through routine that one may create a pattern of action depending on his practice and on the necessary solution that is needed for a particular scenario.
Most athletes who had rigid practice and routines could relate to this concept as they enter the zone, which is "a state where your awareness of time almost disappears and you are one with what you do. Although this perfect harmony usually feels effortless, it is the mental state where we produce our greatest results. So you could say flow is the state where peak performance happens." And in order to establish a routine which would hopefully lead into your consciousness entering the zone, here below are some techniques which you may choose to apply in your career, relationship, or life in its entirety.
Check Priorities
A good salesman or agent is obviously tied up to some routines. However, in order for such routine to be successful, it must follow a certain flow. Hence, it is advised that every individual aspiring to be successful should have a list of priorities. Once priorities are identified, it is easy for you to check or establish a habit that would create a great impact on the totality of your goal.
Create a Process and Evaluate
Once priorities are identified and preferably listed down, it would be better to create a routine that would lead towards your greatest priorities or goals in life. If you already have a routine and yet no significant results are being observed, try to examine your routine and polish it. By making your routine a step by step process you are enabling yourself to examine or evaluate the process itself and seeing possible opportunities that you might have missed or yet to encounter.
Mirror Successful People
Considerably one of the easiest ways of learning to develop a routine is by studying how other successful people create their own. By mirroring you are not exactly mimicking the person's way of doing things, for his or her established routine is a product of a personal experience. But this doesn't mean that you would have to reinvent things, try to consult with these successful people and ask their best practices for example. By doing such thing, you are actually supplementing the rough routine or practice that you have already established.
The concept of success is indeed a complex thing to discuss for many would claim or bring into the table their own formula without noticing the uniqueness of a person's experience and current disposition. The general ideas and guides presented above does not even guarantee a hundred percent of success, much more of an exact timeframe for success.
However, the article aims to prepare you to strive for excellence through constant practice, for it is through excellence that one may ensue success in the process. Thus, one could simply say that this article serves as springboard towards success, on whatever the term would mean to you. In brief, you could say that "success comes to those who are prepared", a preparation born out of habit and routines.
