Some individuals are successful and get what they want. Many do not. Is there a contrast of a biological nature? Unlikely.Is constant success, then, some sort of magic trick, supernatural in nature? No.
But we do know that there are differences in their psychology.
The theoretical laws that successful people apply to reality in order to achieve goals that they have is called goal achievement theory.
The vast majority of the population do not know the ins and outs of goal achievement theory. Alternatively they use vague terminology like “think positive” without actually understanding what it means.
The remainder of this article will talk about the most important element of goal achievement theory: Belief that the goal is achievable.
If you do not believe the goal is achievable, you probably won’t succeed, primarily because you will be deficient of the motivation to put serious time and effort into something you believe is likely to fail. Speculative investment of time and effort requires belief.
And belief is not about blind faith. This is a belief based on evidence. Has anybody ever previously achieved what you want to do? The answer to this question is usually yes. And if they did, you would be wise to learn as much about their route to success as you can. If you are a pioneer and are trying to achieve something that has never been tried before, ask another question: Do all the required concepts work individually? If you know what you are trying to do and have a plan, then you can evaluate whether the parts of the plan will work in theory. If all techniques and strategies have been used successfully at some other time, then it is likely your goal is achievable.
Often times the people who will tell you your goal will never happen are people who simply lack the knowledge of how to achieve it themselves. And because they don’t know, they tell you it is impossible. This is quite obviously flawed logic. Most people do not know how a jet plane flies but they are happy to climb aboard and fly off in one. Why should this be any different?
So if you have a ambition, do whatever you need to do and learn whatever you need to learn to make you know beyond doubt that it is possible. Then you will have the endless will power you need to go out every day and strive to make it happen.
Good luck!
