Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Well, I have to be honest. I don’t know anyone who would not want to experience some level of success in their life at some point or another. Now, take a moment to think about your life. Do you consider yourself success driven? Whether it is graduating from high school or college, finding the career of your dreams, buying your first home, getting married or starting a family; the feeling of success brings happiness to your life every time. If you’re honest, you will agree that everyone strives to be successful at one point or another throughout life. Unfortunately, life has a way of placing roadblocks in our path which makes it even harder to achieve success along our journey. Today, I want to talk about what is needed to be success driven.

When I think of someone being success driven, I think of an individual that is not afraid of following these necessary steps throughout life:

• Step 1 – Make a commitment to yourself to become success driven.

• Step 2 – Set some realistic goals for yourself and write them down.

• Step 3 – Make a plan to meet your goals and revisit your plan often.

• Step 4 – Put your plan to work by focusing on tasks that will help you achieve your goals.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you’ll be better able to decide what is best for you the first time around. – Oprah Winfrey

• Have Purpose – If you don’t have purpose in life, you will not succeed. You have to find out the reason you’re preparing yourself and working hard to achieve your goals.

Change your mindset, be faithful, and stay the course until you receive the positive benefits of reaching the top. Since we all are different, our definitions of being success driven may vary from person to person. Allow yourself to be creative and open minded. After all, we were put on this Earth for a purpose that is much greater that we are, right?
