4 Elements of Success
My name is Jonathan Traylor,
Today I'm discussing 4 elements of success and am using a photograph from my trip to the Bahamas to illustrate.
Everyday humans travel through time and space. Sometimes aware but for the most part oblivious to the great opportunities and people that surround us.
We tend to think what if ________ or wouldn't it be great if _______? We wish for a magic fairy god mother or a dream/vision from God. We fantasize about a time machine that would allow us to travel back in time and beat the stock market and become wealthy.
In short we want assurance of security. We want certainty of success.
I'm not offering certainty of success, but here are a few elements of success.
a. Aware of self and environment.
This one is important because it requires that you fundamentally switch your mindset from consumer/entertained to producer/influencer. It's necessary for you to change from being a person who relies on others to show you a golden opportunity to someone who is AWARE and becomes convinced of a life changing opportunity.
b. Prepared to seize the day.
This one is particularly interesting. I'll give an example. A few months ago BTC hard forked into Bitcoin Cash. Imagine you had heard of BTC for years prior but had always put off investing in BTC. Then a friend explained that in the hard fork you could stake the BTC you owned and your BTC amount would be matched in Bitcoin Cash. You scrambled to purchase BTC but at this point it was too late. It took time to verify and link coinbase to your bank account, and you lost on the opportunity to profit from staking BTC because you were not prepared to seize the day.
c. Make Bold decisions based on your research.
No one cares about your success or failure as much as you. No one cares about your money as much as you do. Make Bold decisions you are convinced of.
d. Invest in yourself.
This includes increasing your skills. Improving your environment. Gaining new knowledge etc.
These are a few elements of success. Certainly not all.
I was able to capture this photo in the Bahamas using elements 1-3.
Not everyday is a good day,live anyway
Not everyone will tell you the truth, be honest anyway
Not all deals are fair, play fair anyway
After all It's not about them, It's OUR character that counts.
Thanks. :)
The perfect way to introduce yourself with elements included. Introducing yourself well to someone can be difficult sometimes depending on how confident you are. Great great clap clap
Thanks! I appreciate that. Followed you.
great article. life is to short to ask many "what ifs". just grab the opportunity when it comes knocking, if you succeed then great, if you fail, you will learn..
Thank you. I followed you. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Congratulations on your first @steemit post. I saw your post on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/157339221704155 . I would like to invite you join SteemThat.com and follow @steemthat . I have procrastinated long enough and plan to make my first #Steemit post on the 1st day of 2018. @steemthatshare @sydesjokes @binkley
Thanks! I followed you. Looking forward to reading your first article also.
great first article!
Thanks so much! :)
Thank you for the great information, your right, time spent wisely will pay off, and most of us fail to invest in ourselves! But also it is important to seize the day, sometimes that is easier said than done!
This picture is a great example, not that easy to get unless your at the right place and the right time. I don't think it will ever be to late to purchase Bitcoin, sure there will be the ups and downs, but overall the market as a whole is gaining traction at a rapid pace.
Thanks for the great comment. Followed you.
Yes, It's a Great Article, I love it!!!
Thank you. :)
Great introduction @traylorjonathan. Upvoted.
I'm following to see how else you can help us Seize the Day! Taking action now, in the present, is the best way to show the universe you're deserving of success.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to sharing more content. Followed you also.
Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others
