Strategies for a successful life coupled with happiness.

The points listed here in this post are to guide you in living a successful life and the same time been happy, if they put to practice.

Goals

You have got to have a goal and a
target because, if you don’t have a target, it is hard to tell when you reach it. Furthermore, if there is no goal, what do you want to except execute.
However, just having a goal is not
enough. Your goals must be smart. A smart
goal is a goal that is achievable and which
does not set you up for failure. An
achievable goal is one that you are not sure
you can achieve. This type of goal assures
that you stretch your capabilities. An
unachievable goal is one that you know you
cannot achieve.

It is important that you stick with your
goals and do not alter them after
encountering the first obstacle. Yet, it is wise
to be ready to change your goal once you
realize a blunder or because of a change in
environment. If the goal is changed repeatedly, you have to reevaluate your
ability of setting up smart goals.

Focus

In order to carry out your tasks
efficiently you must be able to focus and
concentrate on your task. Distraction will
reduce your efficiency and will result in
mistakes which may cause a total collapse of
the mission. If possible, write your goal in
large font and post it on the wall where you
can be reminded of it frequently. Keep your
on eye on the target.
If you are distracted, stop what you are
doing and take care of the source of the
distraction first. This is easier said than
done, but, in many cases, it actually is not
that hard to do. The source of distraction
might be as simple as tiredness, so take a
break, rest, and get back to work with a
rejuvenated energy.

Prepare

If there was only one secret to success,
preparation would be the one. It will set you
in the best position to execute the task with
the least difficulty. The more prepared you
are, the easier the task becomes. Two
students who just finished an exam have a
totally different opinion about the exam: one
thinks it was very difficult and the other thinks
the exact opposite. The difference is that one
was prepared while the other wasn’t. How ready you are to face a task head on is determined by how prepared you are.

Hard Work

We talked about doing something that
one has talent for. Obviously, the less talent
one has for the job they do, the harder one
has to work to get the results they desire.
Successful people often enjoy their job
so much that it does not seem like work,
never mind hard work. On the negative side,
when these people retire, they quickly
deteriorate because they lack the stimulus of
their work. While they were so fully and
constantly occupied with their work and
career, they never developed any type of
hobby to fall back to in retirement.
The important thing is to understand the
difference between filling time and time
management and to know that being busy is
not the same as working. It is key to work on
the important and not necessarily the urgent.

Trust God, Trust yourself

After you must have applied all the the steps, then hope for the best and also trust yourself that you have all that is necessary to be done.

Note that when you fail, be ready to pick up your pieces and start over again.

Don't put blame on people for your failure, that is adding salt to injury.

Learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them...
