As different as people are, so is the definition of success foreach individual. For some success may mean earning a lot of money,for others success means overcoming a serious illness, yet otherssee their success in being recognized and respected, or finding thelove of their lives. Perhaps all of this applies to you or you havea completely different definition of success. Whatever you wish tobe successful, you should first become aware of what success meansto you and what success looks like to you. Whatever you definesuccess and what it includes for you, one thing is clear in everycase, who is successful, who achieves the goals and intentions hehas set himself. Furthermore, for many, the recognition associatedwith achieving a goal is an essential indicator for their ownsuccess, if not even the main motivation to achieve a goal.Moreover, it can be said that people generally feel successful whenthe challenges they face run parallel to their growing abilitiesand skills and they thus have the feeling that they are up to thedemands and tasks. However, as soon as an overload occurs, thesuccessful completion of a project is automatically at risk, if thefeeling of overload lasts longer, which can lead to stress or evenburnout. In the opposite case, i.e. when the challenges are lowerthan a person's existing knowledge and skills, an overload due tounderstraining quickly arises and leads to boredom and a loss ofmotivation. The right level of demands in relation to the availableresources is therefore decisive for success.

Take a close look at your current situation. In which areas of yourlife are you successful and happy and where have you not yetachieved what you would like and why? Your life situation becomesmost effectively clear when you take the trouble to writeeverything down very clearly. Often even more coherences andbackgrounds come to light when writing down, because one isconsciously and concentrated on one's own situation. Find out whereyou stand, especially in areas where the desired success has notyet been achieved. In this way, you quickly gain clarity as towhere you should make changes, because this is absolutely necessaryif you do not want everything to remain the same. Be absolutelyhonest with yourself and make a sober analysis of your currentsituation in all areas of life, starting with your work, yourfamily and partnership situation, up to your living situation, yourstate of health, your circle of friends and finally your financialsituation. Write down everything you feel about each area and whatyou think should change in this area to make you feel happy,satisfied and successful. Consciously dedicate at least 10 minutesto this task and write down uninhibitedly and sincerely everythingyou can think of and feel. This exercise will help you to see yourcurrent life situation soberly and clearly, because this is thefirst decisive step on the way to success. Only if you know whereyou stand can you set a goal at all, so take this discussionseriously, because for you it is not less important than theachievement of your personal goals!

We are all subject to constant development processes because thewhole world is constantly evolving. Consciously stimulate your owndevelopment and take on challenges courageously. You can only win,because no matter how things go, you can only find out what you arecapable of if you test your own limits and go beyond them again andagain. Only when you take on challenges can you get to knowyourself anew and perhaps you will discover skills and talents youdidn't even know you had. Grow beyond yourself and learn newthings. Make full use of your abilities and talents and no longerkeep your strengths behind you. Don't hide behind flimsy reasonsany longer but start your new life and dare to go new ways and todevelop yourself further. Don't be put off by possible mistakes,mistakes are there to learn from you. You have nothing to lose. Ifyou think you can't do something, then don't say "I can't do it",but rather "I can't do it yet", because you can finally learn it.Meeting new challenges is the most fundamental aspect when it comesto developing and unfolding your personality and building yourself-confidence and self-esteem. Always keep your actual long-termgoal in mind, then you will quickly realize that the previous,perhaps initially simpler path, is not really easier than acceptingthe challenge, since it has not brought you to your goals in thelong term. Progress courageously and focus on your goal. However,always make sure that you challenge yourself, but never overtaxyourself, which would have the opposite effect and throw you backon your way to your goal. The most important thing is not how muchyou create at once, but that you move towards your goal. Take onestep at a time and enjoy every day and your partial success on yourway to your goal.

Without realizing it, we tend to quickly adopt the habits andpatterns we act and live by on a daily basis. For example, wealways fall asleep in the same position, always have the samemorning ritual when we get up, etc. Thus, in the course of time,the same behaviors and habits manifest themselves in our lives andthey give us security and determine our lives without usconsciously noticing it. But if you want to achieve a goal, thatmeans a fundamental change in your life. However, no change cantake place on the outside if it does not also take place on theinside. Therefore it is helpful to take a closer look at one's ownhabits and make conscious changes here as well. Why not take a coldshower once a day instead of warm, or sit down on another chair toeat, stand up with the other foot, eat with the other hand, etc. Asmall change in our habits means a new perspective and allows us acompletely new perspective and thus more flexible thinking. Anyonewho always moves within his familiar framework and always does thesame cannot simply develop further and is treading water. It canhappen very quickly that others pass by while you are still whereyou were before. So if you want to change something in your life,you have to change yourself and can't expect to achieve the samebehaviors, patterns of thinking and actions as before. Only if youengage in new experiences will you discover new opportunities andbe able to drive your development forward. But here too, you shouldnot forget that you should start small, as too many challenges atonce can quickly lead to overload and paralysis instead ofdevelopment. Take small steps and make one change at a time ratherthan all at once. In this way you broaden your horizons and becomemore and more flexible and open, which enables you more and more tosuccessfully implement even major changes.
