What is the secret to success

[Ramanujan]

I wanna listen to your takes on what is the secret to success

[Ishanga]

Luck, Timing, Talent and of course some dedication and commitment as secondary elements..

Luck - Completely random events coming together, somehow being in the right place, meeting right ppl, doing right things all happening at once or in a short period of time..

Timing - certain situations are in place at certain times, so via that one may enter into that sort of thing at the right time so that they can execute a plan or offer a service or product!

Talent - One must know their subject matter, be an expert or master at it, and be able to spontaneously create or take advantage of something coming into their life...

Look at Stallone, came from almost nothing, yeah he had some small acting roles, but when that didn't pan out he thought about writing, and isolated himself, wrote some shit screen plays, but went out, saw the Ali fight, had an idea, wrote it down, offered it up, got the right opportunity, stuck to his guns, re wrote the script many times, and when the movie came out (they didn't think it would be offered up in big venues, maybe drive ins or even released), it made it big time (the timing was right, it was anti hero, very negative type films coming out at that time, nothing like Rocky was made or in anyone's mind to be made except Stallone), and here we are some 48yrs later and the guy is still in the public eye and has had lots of material and fame success and admiration from millions, beside the fact he has inspired billions of ppl...

Having a really solid but lofty vision for yourself and reminding yourself of that vision everyday, as frequently as possible.

Make your mistakes and failures consciously, with full awareness

I have two perspectives.

Perspective 1:
Ambition = Desire + Discipline

Presence = Mindfulness + Satisfaction + playfulness

Ambition + Presence = Success

 

Perspective 2:

Be + Do = Have
