SUCCESS DOES NOT COME BY ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE PREPARED FOR IT.

in Hive Learners2 years ago

Everyone wants to reach their desired destination, and regardless of the path they select, they want to succeed. The thing about life is that it's always simple to picture the road to success as being a straightforward process before one sets out on it, during the planning or dreaming session, but it never really works that way. It always calls for much more than merely speaking, ruminating, or even making plans.

The majority of people talk about their ideal lives and their dreams of success. They fantasize and hallucinate that they will magically awaken and that all of their wishes would come true, but I have learned that this is not how it happens. It takes more than just magic for something of tremendous value to mysteriously appear on one's hand.

If you've ever wanted to do anything and have succeeded in getting there, congratulations. You would undoubtedly concur with me if I said that you did not succeed or arrive where you are by accident. You must have worked really hard to be where you are and to be successful.

I may be mistaken, but I'm confident that 99.9% of successful people didn't get that way by accident. Before becoming what they are, they must have worked in some capacity. It's probable that they never had a clear idea of who they would end up being at the beginning and had to have embarked on the road with a cloudy vision. The fact that they succeed does not imply that they did so inadvertently; rather, it indicates that they worked more to advance than to stay still.

This is something that I probably have mentioned in a prior piece, but it bears repeating. My notion of being successful is not chance, but a combination of opportunity that blends in with preparation; someone who is not prepared for combat cannot win a war when it comes along. Success is defined in this manner.

We are like the soldiers in our own lives, fighting for victory at every stage of life as we encounter various types of conflict. It is our responsibility to be ready for the future. Would you be able to recognize the smoke if it started to burn on the FIRE? The conflicts we engage in are what I refer to as opportunities that take the guise of difficulties and being able to see the smoke implies being able to anticipate when an opportunity might arise.

Being able to discover possibilities and provide solutions to people's issues or challenges would make one successful, but all of this does not come by accident, but rather by the effort that the individual must have put into himself. This is what I meant by "an opportunity to show forth to a prepared individual."

I am currently on a path to achieving a goal. I've questioned how folks were able to accomplish the same road I'm on, and I've considered the difficulties they must have endured on their way to success. I also considered that if they had not taken this same path, they would not have come across or been able to identify the opportunity they have now.

Right now, I am not giving up because I want to be successful, and as much as I daydream about arriving at my destination, I have determined that I will never arrive there by accident unless I put in the effort, unless I show up every day, and confront every difficulty that comes my way. I am desperate for success! The question is, Are you?

Being successful is never by chance I totally agree with you on that. Anyone that is successful by just sitting at home, watch well, he or she has a very strong pillar and they did not just get those pillars, I'm very sure they earned it.

Success is very important to so many people if not everyone and it's only right if we know that it does not come by luck but by hard work and determination. You can't expect something different and keep doing the same thing over and over.

And you said something about being prepared, yes that absolutely right, there are times when we are so hungry for success but in the actual sense, we are not prepared for it. Sometimes we just keep praying to God for sometime and when he answers our prayers, we end up misusing what he has given to us and that's because we weren't prepared for having it in the first place we only wanted it maybe because we see that others have it.

There are opportunities everywhere that can make us successful but like you asked, I'm I hungry for success? The answer is yes I am hungry for success and I'm so willing to do all I can as long as it is in line with the will of God.

Thank you once again for sharing this beautiful piece with us sir, all the best in achieving your goals 🥰.

When making plans or dreaming we do not count the difficulties that are likely to hit us. Because we haven't walked yet we do not know how the muscles are hurt, how the blood pressure increases, how heart races, how it feels to be out of breath, how how the veins get blocked. We are just sitting at a far distant place looking at the destination and enjoying its pleasure. Once we move, our body screams and let us know how easy it was to see, talk and enjoy.

Success certainly not comes as an accident

Awesome analysis Amber, that's absolutely right. Some times we are lost in our fantasies and it gets a lot harder when we try to work towards them.

Exactly, Hope. Plans are in the air work brings us to ground

Sure, you are welcome Amber ❤️.

Yeah, when making plans, we don't know what difficulties we might face, we don't know how much pressure we may feel. But talking about walking on the path makes us realise that it is easier said than done.

Anyone who is successful at any point must have put in a lot of work.

That's the reality we all have to accept if we long for success

The path to success is a vigorous one and one that not everyone can take. It is those that make the deliberate decision to be resilient till they get to their destination that will actually get there and sustain it.

The definition of success is subjective, yet it is generally accepted that the road to it can not happen by accident—if you ask those that have now attained success, actually. To be successful, one needs to be "process-oriented" and not "result-oriented." This is because the former is the condiment for sustaining the resilience needed to actually achieve the outcome of the latter.

People need to recognize that the path to success can only really be walked by those who look towards building in the "process." You cannot attain sustainable success if you do not conceptualize and internalize the imperative necessity to suppress the proclitivityto be after results. It is in the process of building in the "process" that you achieve the result you desire.

The more one thinks of success as a "deliberate" journey, the closer you are to attaining sustainable success. It would reflect more on your mindset, eventually, in your actions as well.

Hmm, beautiful, success is deliberate it doesn't happen by chance at all, I totally agree with you on that Joe. The problem with most of us is we just want to live a life of luck, if it happens, good but if it doesn't, it's my luck and that's a very wrong approach to getting success.

We have to know what we want and work hard to achieve it and not just sit around and wait for miracles to happen.

Awesome bro. This should inspire others to work on achieving their goals rather than daydreaming. I also believe in the luck factor but people who are better prepared and constantly taking action to get better will have more luck on their side than others.

I am currently on a path to achieving a goal

I am sure you will be a great Dev bro. :))

people who are better prepared and constantly taking action to get better will have more luck on their side than others.

Exactly oh! You hit the nail on the head.

I am sure you will be a great Dev bro. :))

😁😁😁 You already know the path I am on 😁😁😁

Haha. Yes, you told me once that you wanted to learn to code and take it seriously. So I remember. That's a great path you have chosen for yourself.

I even wrote a post about it yesterday and you were one of the peeps I had in my mind while writing it.

Wish you great luck bro!

Yeah… that post was a great one. Very thoughtful! Learning programming is quite steep and I am enjoying the process.

You're welcome Sir 🙏.

When you start a race to success, never look back. There are so many things pursuing you including failure. But when you try to look at who is at your back, then you have set in some pictures to your ways or path to failures.

Success is not for lazy people and so making it mandatory to focus must be your watchword. I have seen so many people who have been on the verge of making it but were made to withdraw from the race just because of not having the mind. mind is something we must not overlook when it comes to success. You want to succeed but does not have the mind to push ahead cannot work.

Those that made it through today have stories to tell. We should know that the road is so rough but when we try hard to overcome all odds, then our road to success would.be better. The fact remains that when failures comes in, do not give to it or submit to it instead keep trying to make head way to your dream.

You don't want you dream to get shattered, right?

It seems you actually studied me and what I dream of everyday, infact, I don't actually dream about it while sleeping but I will be wake, then be thinking of how miraculously I will achieve my dreams or probably wake up one day to the world of my dreams.

Some of my friends do say I hallucinate too much 😂😂, it's not like I don't know that I have to work harder to achieve those dreams but I was thinking that there's probably a short cut to things I desire.

Don't blame me, I'm sure most of us have thought about following the easiest road 😂😂

I cannot blame you; it is the same for everyone. We need to dream of being there before we can be there. There is no reality without a dream.

That's right, it's only wrong if we don't work on making our dreams a reality intentionally 😉.

 2 years ago  

It's normal to always daydream but we have to be careful not to forget it's a dream. Once we daydream for too long, we actually forget to work on actually making them a reality and if your dreams are not realistic, you just have to do away with it.

That was motivational with your properly arranged contents. Success is everyone's target and it depends on the plan or route and actions we make that makes us succeed. Thanks for sharing

The pleasure is mine!

Wow, this is so inspiring! Success is defined by our preparation, it should be intentional for us to achieve our goal.
One cannot only daydream and Boom, have whatever he desires at the tip of his fingers but with effort even with conflicting situations 👌

There is no successful man out there that didn't put in a lot of work. Success indeed doesn't come by accident 👌!

Many thanks for this food of thought 👍

Being successful is the best but considering the risks behind it is another issue entirely.

Not being attentive or not following your dream can make you out of phase. This is why we must always not relent when we have failed.

I want to be successful is not a day job and not a daily routine but it can take longer way.

It's always fulfilling to proffer a solution to a problem, especially a solution that works. So many successful people I know have in one way or another proffered solution to a problem and that's why they are successful.

Providing solutions to the problems of others and yourself is the best success ever because you get to put smiles in the faces of others 🥰.

Hmm, that's true, so many people want to just get to the final point without planning and that makes them so tired even before getting to the finish line.
