Why only 2 Percent of the people succeed in Life?

What is success?

When we achieve our aim then we are said to be successful. Success means the completion of a task or a purpose with the expected results. The success is defined by the achievements.

Success is a journey and not a destination. If someone takes success as a final destination then the individual gradually starts falling down.
One should always keep on working for success and if one aim is achieved then the other one should be targeted.

Measuring Success

It is very important to measure success. If we don’t measure success, we won’t be able to track the achievements.  Measuring success also helps us in doing our best, every time. We can keep a check on ourselves and take corrective steps if it is found that we are getting deviated.
Different people have different parameters for measuring success. Some measure it with Money, some with happiness and some with both. Measurement of success is also dependent on the field to which we belong.

Why only 2 percent?

The main reason is due to not setting goals. There are very people who set goals in life and stick to the ways of achieving it. Achieving goals needs sacrifices, discipline and hard work. Many people often feel afraid and lethargic of the hazards that come between them and the goals. Achieving goals need concentration. We often are distracted after just walking few steps.
Another reason of only 2 percent people getting success in life is that they don’t evaluate the goals set. It is very important to evaluate the goals and the steps that we take to achieve goals and success. If the goals are not evaluated then we will not be able to evaluate ourselves as well and we will give up in due course of time.
This giving up attitude is a big obstacle in the path of success. To achieve success, we have to continuously try and never give up. The people who don’t give up are the people who succeed. This is the reason the percentage is very less.

Can we be a part of this 2 Percent?

Yes, definitely we all can be a part of the elite group. Firstly, we need to have a desire of being successful. Just by seeing the successful people we are not going to get success. We have to make an action plan and work regularly on this. We need to be self-disciplined.  This is a very important factor if we want to be successful. Many people often fail in spite of having all the resources because they are not disciplined.
We have to change our habits as well. Habits are an integral part of success. People who are successful start with the end in mind. They do anything and sacrifice anything to achieve the goals and be successful. They are not lazy and do not procrastinate.
The successful always learn. They never stop learning. We won’t be able to do anything if we are not healthy. Keeping this in mind these people take all the steps that keep them healthy. They take mistakes and challenges as a part of learning. Using this learning they walk a step further towards success.

We all can be successful, it’s just the desire to start with and the will to win. Without taking the first step we will not be able to complete the journey. Let’s not stop after achieving one target. We should try for another accomplishment after one goal is achieved and, in this way, we will keep on growing and being successful and will be a guiding star for others as well.
