2 Ingredients of Success

Success requires two ingredients: passion and determination.

 If you have one and not the other, it is hard for you to attain success. Say if you have passion but no determination to make your dreams a reality, then you can easily end up years later wondering what may have been. On the other hand, if you have determination and no passion, you can still be successful but you will find life fulfilling. It can be that you have sold your soul to do the work that you do. Hardly a way to live life!

Passion is a strong emotion that happens when you have certain ideals and dreams. When you actively work towards your dream, you feel intrinsically rewarded. Even if the going gets tough, you are inspired enough to face up to the challenges. When you have no passion, and the going gets tough, you are more likely to give up what you are doing.

Few people experience overnight successes. Those who are successful tend to become so, only after years of pursuing their passion with determination.The great boxer, Muhammad Ali put this aptly "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."

To build a life around your passion is ideal. Think about those who have done so and how much you envy them and wish that you are in their shoes. You also notice that these people tend to be much happier, and also are generally financially abundant. They are rewarded for plucking up the courage to do what is important to them.

Hence, to build a life that matters to you, you have to determine what your passion is. What is it that will truly make your life a difference? Do you have a particular interest that speaks to you more than all the rest? When you have identified your passion, ask yourself how badly you want to make it happen.

Although you have a passion, you may think that it is not worth the time and effort to pursue it. However, if you do, then make a commitment and put in your hundred percent effort.

You may think that pursuing your passion means having to give up what you are currently doing. It may not always be the case. Think creatively how you can put to use what you have achieved so far. Leverage on past efforts so that you can quickly bring in the income to support your dreams.

The more determined you are, the more successful you will be. You do not have to start with a big bang but it is important to take that step in alignment with your passion. Learn to pick yourself up in the face of difficult times. Have the will-power to keep going until you achieve your goal.
