Personal growth
What do you think success is? Have you ever asked yourself this question? I think you have heard many times about successful people. But how can you measure their success? There are many around who already have success, and many who want to have it! I think you do too.
Basic mistakes
What prevents a person from achieving success?
- The opinion that nothing can be changed.
- Self-doubt and fear of failure.
- Fear of change.
- Fussiness is when a person rushes from one idea to another.
- Shifting responsibility to others. As a result, the person continues to do things that lead to an even greater aggravation of the problem.
- Self-pity. Sometimes you need to suffer a little in the current moment in order to get something more in the future. And if you feel sorry for yourself excessively, a person begins to avoid negative experiences and, as a result, misses the result. After some time, the habit of feeling sorry for oneself goes into the subconscious, and the person ceases to be aware of it, but it continues to destroy his life.
- Lack of flexibility of thinking. There is a very good metaphor that describes the differences between a successful person and an unsuccessful one. The last one will come to the party to find love. If you fail to meet a person of the opposite sex, then unsuccessful men or women leave in upset feelings. A successful person, even if he doesn’t find love, meets good friends.
- Thinking in a negative way. Anthony Robbins said that we often overestimate ourselves in the present moment and underestimate ourselves in the future. Therefore, you need to be optimistic and understand that everything will end well in the end. Then they won’t give up if something doesn’t work out now. Moreover, in order to become rich and successful, psychologists say that you need to set goals in a positive form. It is correct to ask the question: “how to become financially independent”, “how to get out among people” instead of “how to stop being a loser” or “how to get out of poverty”. The dominant motivation of successful people is to achieve, not to avoid. The same goes for envy. Successful people learn from people who have achieved more. Losers simply envy them and do nothing.
- The lack of support and understanding from others unsettles you. A successful person does not depend on other people's opinions.
Introverted type.
Such people are out of touch with reality. They draw their strength from solitude and reflection. They really don’t like noisy large companies, they quickly get tired of long-term communication, but one-on-one communication is acceptable for them, they are excellent partners. Introverts are quite reserved and always adhere to their own beliefs. However, they are too persistent and stubborn, it is very difficult to convince them; their own point of view is always the only true one for them. He lives not so much by perceptions and sensations as by ideas. External events as such influence the life of such a person relatively little; what he thinks about them is much more important. If a reasonable degree of introversion contributes to the development of independent judgment, then a strongly introverted person lives mostly in a world of unrealistic ideas. The favorite food for thinking of introverts is problems of religion, politics, and philosophy. Unsociable, keeps aloof, communicates when necessary, loves loneliness; self-absorbed, talks little about himself, does not reveal his experiences. Slow and indecisive in actions.
This type is characterized by relying on their life experience. This type is not affected by various situations. The degree of immersion in the inner world leads a person to a separation from reality. Characterized by an emphasized tendency to think and a weak readiness to act.
Is it possible to easily identify the type without a test? If you are interested, please contact a psychologist.

Option 3
Success is one of the topics that gets talked about a lot these days. Books are devoted to this topic, various courses, trainings and seminars are organized where they teach how to become a successful person and what needs to be done for this. Today, it has become very fashionable to be successful, because when they say “successful person,” this phrase immediately raises the person’s self-esteem and makes him higher in the eyes of others. That's why many people want to be classified as successful people. but in order to get any closer to this category, you need to work on yourself, develop your skills and overcome difficulties.
Very often, many people confuse the concept of “success” with the concept of “luck”. Luck can strike at any time, for example, winning a super prize in the lottery. And success is also a kind of prize, but to win it, you need to make a lot of effort. Success doesn't just happen, it's created. and you need to be prepared to spend more than one day, month and even more than one year to achieve success. For example, Henry Ford, the creator of a famous car brand, spent years of his life developing his idea, although many people thought it was stupid, but the opinions of those around him did not stop him, and years later his idea brought him worldwide fame and wealth.
Each person has a different definition of what success is and what it should be. It could be money and fame or a strong and loving family. It all depends on the values, worldview and character of a person
But first of all, success is an achieved goal, large or small, and no matter in what area of life, if it is achieved, then the person has definitely achieved success. Success occurs in different situations
For example, it may appear:
1. In acquiring certain skills, such as playing the guitar, dancing, drawing, cooking, studying.
2. Psychological success is manifested in changing one’s character or eliminating a bad habit.
3. Career success involves achieving the desired position at work, receiving career growth or taking an honorable place in the team.
4. Personal success manifests itself in communication, friendship, love and family.
There is a simple algorithm for achieving success. First, you need to set a goal, then plan actions to achieve it and consolidate everything with motivation.
Success plays an important role in a person's life. When a person achieves success, he not only gets the desired result, but also enjoys the result achieved. Confidence in yourself and your capabilities appears, the attitude towards life becomes more positive and the person’s emotional state becomes much better.
INTRODUCTION
One of the signs of the psychology of modern people is their desire for success. The word “success” is written on the banner of many endeavors and is present in commercials of a wide variety of firms and companies. A large amount of literature is published on this topic, business trainings are conducted to help people move towards success. Success is the slogan of our time.
Success is most often understood as a person’s achievements in the outside world, as material success. Today's time is called the esoteric teachings of Kali Yuga, the Iron Age, and is characterized by a massive desire of people for material values. No matter who they declare themselves to be, atheists or religious people, their real behavior is the behavior of materialists who view the external world as an arena for the manifestation of their own ambitions, and in fact profess the psychology of “we live only once.” Hence the cult of external success, the desire to own a lot of money, achieve high positions, and receive various pleasures. One of the signs of the modern world is the dominance of quantity over quality. The French esoteric philosopher Rene Guenon called one of his books “The Kingdom of Quantity and the Signs of the Times.” Nowadays, quantity is recognized as the measure of success. However, the amount of material wealth on earth is limited, so competition, battles and fights arise, sometimes taking rough and sometimes sophisticated forms.
Despite their desire, despite a large number of benefits and trainings, a huge number of people do not achieve success. Someone comes to external achievements, but does not experience even a small amount of the expected satisfaction.
Mass culture has led to a certain shift in people's consciousness in understanding what success is, and this is clearly expressed in modern literature on this topic. There are purely esoteric books that talk about inner growth and inner success. I have been involved in esoteric teachings for twenty-five years, and therefore I see how focusing only on these areas affects people’s lives. Quite often this turns into an attitude towards recluse, non-participation in the world and its affairs, which makes followers of this way of thinking unsuitable for life in society. Most people who take this path experience a feeling of inferiority when they see others overtaking them in worldly affairs. A good half of esoteric and religious books do not provide knowledge on how to combine external and internal success, being hostile or indifferent to the topic of external success.
Vulgar esoteric books are full of advice to meditate on the image of money. Calls of this level, as a rule, do not work, and I have been convinced of this many times. Books of this kind are graceless; they lack the proper energy saturation and correct understanding of the problems. Primitive psychological books focus a person on wealth at any cost, however, often to the detriment of his inner world, spiritual growth and inner depth.
From my point of view, there is a very serious shortage of books that present a balanced theory of life, aimed at achieving a balance between inner and outer life, helping to understand and build it. The problem of success is the problem of a person’s realization on a difficult life path.
As a practicing psychologist, I met a variety of people, among them there were many interesting and happy people who were realized on the external plane. At some point, I began to specifically study the lives of successful people who set big external goals and achieved them. I was interested in the patterns that unite dissimilar stories. Of course, it is impossible to copy someone’s life, and a person learns all serious truths on his own, opening his inner experience. Everyone has their own unique path to success. However, many methods and correct approaches can be learned: that’s why knowledge transfer systems exist.
The trainings that I have been conducting for many years do not so much teach people success in the purely external, philistine sense of the word, but are designed to help them discover their inner path, their as yet unrecognized road on which they would be happy and fulfilled. Nevertheless, many, having gone through training, also achieve external success.
People who want to become successful, both poor and rich, often came to me for consultations. The poor, as a rule, were interested in their external situation, the rich wanted either to strengthen themselves even more materially, or were looking for solutions to internal problems. The very fact that they come suggests that these people cannot successfully solve problems on their own. As a rule, behind every problem that cannot be solved independently, there is an incorrect attitude towards life in general. The solution to one particular problem in such cases is ineffective: the stigma of failure will be placed on the person’s subsequent actions until he understands the underlying reasons for his failure and begins to educate himself as a new, successful person.
Here is another book in the “Key to Awakening” series, dedicated to the secrets of success in life. I approached the coverage of this very important topic for our time after in the book “Invisible Armor,” which was published first, we examined in detail the issues of human security at different levels, in the second book, “Master of Life,” we examined what concerns mastery in everyday behavior, and in the third book - “The Path to Yourself” - we focused on the problems of man’s spiritual quest.
Indeed, only a secure person who strives to become a master of life and is a spiritual seeker can be truly successful. Many people have suffered a fiasco in life precisely because either they turned out to be very weak, and life penetrated their personal defenses, or they did not know how to live well, work and communicate with other people, or they went against spiritual laws and were far from the sphere of the spirit.
I have always really wanted to help people become more successful, able to choose the right goals, achieve them and experience happiness at the same time. In order to master the secret science of life success, which is not taught in schools and universities, I had to study many areas of knowledge - Western and Eastern religions, philosophical doctrines, the latest psychological systems, world history, biographies of famous people who had major achievements both in terms of external life, so in spiritual improvement, finally, ancient and modern esoteric teachings.
The question may arise: how can religions and esoteric teachings, which much more often speak not about worldly, but about spiritual matters, help people in the area of success in life? However, this is only true at first glance, if we understand success only in the external sense of the word. Upon careful examination, you can see that true success, which unites both the external and internal aspects of life, is a deeply sacred concept, involving the use of hidden forces and resources. In addition, many esoteric teachings of the twentieth century, which orient a person not towards monastery-ashram methods of work, but towards serving the truth in the world and life’s struggles, contain invaluable advice and practical knowledge that helps to achieve just such external-internal success.
Everything that I was able to extract from this treasury of esoteric teachings - both ancient and modern, I tried to present in the book, using the language and concepts of today. The book also draws on the experience of my many years of psychological consultations and training seminars, through which thousands of people interested in improving their lives have passed. I am convinced that the most serious systems that help a person achieve good heights must synthesize ancient and new knowledge about man and the world.
The book includes chapters, each of which highlights one facet of success. It contains not only discussions about success in various types of human activity, but also direct advice, stories, examples, exercises, psychological techniques and methods of various traditions. I would recommend reading the book carefully, thinking and listening to yourself. Look with your inner vision at the impulse in your heart that is born in you when reading its pages - it is quite possible that the awakened energy will help you achieve what you dream of in the depths of your own heart. Try not just to read this book and be inspired by its sentiments, but also to apply what you read in relation to your own life, observing the principle of environmental friendliness in relation to your nature and selecting, first of all, what is in tune with you.
This book should not be considered as a kind of textbook containing rigid schemes and algorithms for life success that you just need to learn and mechanically implement into your life. Alas, success cannot be taught as some set of techniques and prescribed operations. Just like the miracle of life, born from nothingness in a mysterious and incomprehensible way, success contains mysterious and inexplicable moments. His achievement is always associated with creativity and the discovery of a new combination of life experiences, a new view of the world. Achieving success means not so much learning something from the outside, but rather discovering something new within yourself. Training presupposes mastery of practical methods leading to such a discovery.
While working on the book, I wanted to help people who want to become more successful, teach them how to build their lives more harmoniously. While dealing with this problem, I tried to combine the approaches of esotericism and the most modern psychological concepts, technologies and methods. As a result, I managed to create a practical system that makes it easier for a person to get closer to his desired goal. Over the years, many people have gone through it, some of whom later admitted to me that the resulting attitudes, energy charge and psychological techniques radically changed their lives. I would like to introduce the reader to the general provisions of this system in this book.
The concept of success is deeply connected with karma. If karma does not allow, a person can do anything and fight like a fish against ice, but still not achieve his plans. Therefore, it is important to learn how to work with your karma, as they say in the East, to work it off. The book contains several chapters devoted to the influence of karma on the success of human endeavors, as well as the topic of specific methods of a person’s work to improve his karma.
Striving for success, we must not forget that success is a fusion of many aspects, a balance between external and internal, between the ability to accept oneself and the mindset for comprehensive self-improvement.
Success brings, first of all, the ability to maintain a positive attitude in life in a variety of situations: in routine, in extreme situations, in a state of fatigue or overflowing with vitality. A successful life attitude helps in various areas of life: when studying, when applying for a job, when building relationships with colleagues, subordinates and superiors, when getting a promotion, when changing jobs. Everywhere we are faced with the problems of competent goal setting and following our intentions, with the problems of preserving and accumulating energy. To achieve success, it is very important to act correctly in situations of opposition to your goals: to respond correctly to obstacles, failures and misfortunes. Success in family life requires the ability to build plans and relationships, the ability to determine your priorities, and focus on harmony. Success implies a certain way of life that does not interfere with the realization of our goals, but works for them and brings us the greatest satisfaction. Success in communication lies in the ability to attract the people you need and distance yourself from those whose influence you perceive as harmful. All this is included in the complex of success. These topics will be covered in our book, accompanied by examples and exercises. I hope that the advice and exercises I have given will help those who need it in overcoming negative karma and creating positive karma that contributes to success.
“Success is a matter of pure chance.
Any loser will tell you that."
(Earl Wilson)
Success
In the book “The Brain of Winners,” Harvard University scientists, namely psychologists D. Brown and M. Fenske, put forward the following theory: “Success has never been dependent on intelligence, financial status, or prevailing circumstances. Even luck does not guarantee success. It is often associated with a person’s ability to control his mind and be resilient in the face of defeat and failure.”
Therefore, we can say that success is, first of all, an activity that is aimed at achieving results while getting pleasure. And secondly, success is public recognition of the results achieved.
The theory of success is nothing more than a sequence of events that lead to the final goal. And no matter what the situation may be, those who really strive for real success must draw conclusions and find benefits for themselves.
Characteristics of initiative
Initiative can be directed towards oneself, society or the state. Self-directed initiative has the following personal qualities: self-knowledge, awareness, determination, independence, curiosity, desire for well-being and comfort.
Initiative that is aimed at society is called social initiative. Social initiative is a form of voluntary activity that is aimed at the benefit of society, the state and at transforming existing reality. This type of initiative is characterized by the following qualities: mutual assistance, collectivism, sociability, leadership and mobility.
Initiative directed towards the state is manifested in an active life position, responsibility, hard work, inclusion in mass culture and political practice.
Option 2
One way or another, every person strives to become successful, but success has a different concept for everyone. And only the person himself determines the mark upon reaching which he can consider the journey he has made a success.
First of all, success is achieving your goal, enjoying it and being recognized by significant people. These three points are the constant companions of success. Let's figure it out in order.
A person always has some goal to which he strives. He overcomes the obstacles and difficulties that stand in his way and reaches his goal. This is the first stage of success - achieving what you set out to do.
The second stage is receiving pleasure from what has happened. When a person receives what he strived for, he is captured by a storm of positive emotions, which form pleasure.
The third integral part of success is recognition from others.
If no one pays attention to what a person considers to be his success, he may be offended. Moreover, many people, due to lack of self-confidence, simply do not consider their victory a success unless someone helps them with this, paying attention or praising them for their work.
It is also worth noting that for different people, different victories are success. For example, for Napoleon, the French emperor of the early 19th century, only a completely conquered world could be considered a success. For a small child, learning to ride a bicycle is already a success. But can we say that Napoleon would have experienced greater happiness than a little boy? I think no. The size, immensity and enormity of a goal do not affect a person's level of satisfaction. If for a child to ride a bicycle without falling for the first time in his life is something out of fantasy, then if he achieves this goal, he will be immensely happy. Just as Napoleon would be happy if he achieved his goal.
To summarize, in order to become happier, you need to set achievable goals. It is necessary to rejoice at every local success, and not just global, otherwise life will become unsatisfactory, and the person will be consumed by frustration. Also, any success strives to be appreciated, so that a person’s self-esteem is maintained at a level, so that a person values himself, but this should not be abused: the consequences can result in a groundlessly inflated self-esteem, an overestimation of one’s own importance in society.
DEFINITION OF SUCCESS
The word success itself, if you think about the meaning of its original meaning, is associated with the concept of “being in time.” “Successful” means one who has time, “one who succeeds” means doing something on time, being able to coordinate one’s plans and aspirations with the real coordinates of one’s life time. A successful person is a person who sets long-term goals and knows how to achieve them competently: in a timely manner, with minimal energy expenditure, in harmony with life and circumstances. If a person achieves his goals with great difficulty, he can be called successful, but with certain reservations and amendments. The price paid for such success is sometimes too great: mental energy is spent, the nervous system breaks down, strength and health are wasted. Success won at too high a cost is not complete and one hundred percent. Successful people in the deep understanding of this word are not darlings of fate to whom everything floats into their hands, but people who know how to achieve the greatest results with the least amount of energy. Their success is connected precisely with the ability to be on time, not to be late, with the ability to sense the situation, to use means that are adequate to the task at hand, and not contrary to it. Each step leading to the set goal is achieved in a timely manner, and this brings a feeling of deep satisfaction.
True success is not only the satisfaction of basic needs, but a feeling of development and growth. That’s why it’s so useful to set goals for yourself – so that you have something to strive for and achieve.
Success is a real living energy that a person owns, with the help of which he attracts other people to himself, creating around himself a kind of whirlwind of circumstances, opportunities, obstacles and ways to resolve them.
Setting goals
The main obstacle to achieving success is incorrectly set goals or lack of them. A purposeless existence determines dependence on external circumstances and complete inaction.
Continuing to go with the flow, a person constantly complains that nothing happens in his routine life.
In fact, what happens to a person depends only on himself
To change your usual circumstances, it is important to decide on a goal. Imagine your life in the future when you have achieved success and write down your main (long-term) goal
Many people look back at the achievements of famous and successful people. It would seem that someone else's success should push us to new achievements. But often the opposite happens - a person gives up, considering his goals to be meager and worthless.
In fact, you don’t understand that you won’t be able to fly to the top in a short time. The path to success will be long and thorny. To assess your own capabilities realistically, a long-term goal must be realistic, understandable and have specific deadlines. The path to it needs to be divided into components, and progress towards the main result gradually, like along the steps of a ladder. Then, every time you succeed in achieving a short-term goal, your self-confidence will strengthen and ultimately your success will be constant.
Practical tips:
To increase your own motivation, keep a diary of achievements and write down the tasks set and completed.
State a main goal that seems important. The main thing is that it is not an abstract phrase (such as “become successful”), but tangible and understandable. Imagine what you need to do in the next week to move towards what you want and create an action plan. You need to set goals for yourself at least once a week.
Drawing up a plan and maintaining reports promotes self-organization and proper time management. A person will imagine the time frame for achieving success and will not be disappointed in case of unjustified hopes.
Manifestation of success in women and men
Personal growth - what is it?
Signs of success between men and women have slight differences due to the role they play in society. These are more like character traits, where lightness and resilience predominate.
Success leads to trust
A successful woman is confident in herself, which is evident in her appearance, calm disposition and knowledge. Harmony is its main characteristic. She is moderately strict, so as not to allow herself to be pushed around, and charming, inspiring trust. People reach out to her for advice, but she will not allow them to “sit” on her neck. The financial situation is this: either she is independent from everyone, or she shares responsibilities with a very worthy and trusted person.
A successful man can be held up as a model of behavior. He is a leader, which means responsibility and determination. The man is gentle and sociable with loved ones, kind to strangers, not a provocateur or a brawler. In communication, he is straightforward, speaks without hints, and does not allow low jokes. He is hardy, physically strong, this helps a man feel better and more confident.
Eisenhower matrix principle
The Eisenhower principle, as its name implies, was proposed by the American general and US President Dwight Eisenhower.
Then Eisenhower recommended dividing tasks into 2 categories:
- Important or unimportant
- Urgent or non-urgent
To make it all look a little clearer, he recommended - as shown in the image below - using a coordinate system for these categories according to which tasks would be distributed.
The bottom right square is actually nothing more than garbage. These tasks may not be completed. They are neither urgent nor important.
The lower upper square represents unimportant but urgent tasks. These tasks should be delegated.
Tasks that are not urgent but important (bottom left) must be entered into the calendar and later completed step by step.
Remaining tasks in the upper left corner: urgent and important. They must be implemented immediately!. Of course, it would be pointless to develop such a coordinate system for every day
The purpose of this is to internalize this principle so that you can apply it intuitively
Of course, it would be pointless to develop such a coordinate system for every day. The purpose of this is to internalize this principle so that you can apply it intuitively.
The Great Secret of Success
The great secret of success is that there is simply no golden formula for achieving your goal. It is different for everyone, and there is no guarantee that one formula can be applicable in several cases. The secret of success lies in constant self-improvement, persistent movement forward, learning from failures, hard work, iron will and self-confidence. It is impossible to achieve your goal without taking action. Success will not fall on you from heaven, it will not be presented on a silver platter, it will not humbly wait for you at the door - everything on this earth must be earned. And those who are concerned about how to achieve success in life should rely solely on themselves and their abilities.
Progress towards your goal will be much easier, and hard work will seem enjoyable if you do what you love. The complex road to the pinnacle of success, filled with obstacles and difficulties, will seem like an interesting and exciting game that will give you great pleasure. And the fact that great things and discoveries come only from people who are passionate about their work has been known for a long time.
Let's look at 6 universal ways to set goals and achieve success in everything, shared by outstanding personalities of the world.
Victory starts with failure
Any successful activity begins with the successful launch of an idea. When starting to carry out any business, you need to immediately set a goal and indicate the end result. Naturally, brilliant ideas are the preserve of a select few, and therefore, before you begin to implement your plan, you need to thoroughly prepare. Preparation means courses, trainings or development of a theoretical knowledge base on the relevant topic. After the preparations are completed, a specific action plan will be outlined; in most cases, it still requires additional adjustments, but the main path will be outlined.
But this is just the beginning. Before taking action, it is necessary, to the extent possible, to identify risks and consider ways to mitigate them.
To do this, you can use knowledge about the experiences of other people (no matter whether it is positive or negative). The main thing is to understand that there will be situations that are not provided for in the plan.
And that's okay. Defeat is natural, and the path to success in life begins with it.
Initiative in psychology
The terms “initiative” and “initiative” have long been studied by many psychologists and philosophers. But this term was carefully studied in the works of J. Peyo and T. Ribot.
J. Peyo considered the qualities that were opposed to initiative. He believes that such qualities are passivity and laziness. T. Ribot associated initiative with a lack of arousal process. He believed that the manifestation of initiative is due to the fact that a person cannot live without some type of activity.
B. M. Kedrov, L. S. Rubinstein and K. K Platonov were the first to consider initiative as a personality quality. In their opinion, initiative is a professionally significant quality. Therefore, it should be included in the system of personality traits that lead to success.
N. S. Novikova, D. B. Bogoyavlenskaya, T. G. Egorov, I. E. Plotiek and M. S. Govorov considered initiative from the motivational aspects. They believed that initiative is manifested by the desire to look for new ways to implement tasks and go beyond the set conditions. They connect initiative with the interests, principles and beliefs of the individual. However, M. S. Govorov comments that initiative can be caused by both selfish motives and noble goals.
What thoughts hinder growth?
"I must". No one owes anyone anything - everything a person does, he does for himself and of his own free will, even if in order to achieve a goal he has to limit himself in something or give up something.
"I can not do it". It’s always worth trying; if it doesn’t work right away, you can collect information, learn, ask for advice, etc. The second or third attempt will be successful.
"I do not want anything". The absence of positive desires and goals is a path to nowhere. Wishing and striving are the first steps to achieving success.
"Everything as usual; nothing new". Life changes every moment, even against our wishes. Why not try to change it on your own?
Unusual personality
The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes gained fame as the most extraordinary personality for many centuries. He helped people look at the world around them in a new way. The scientist lived in a wine barrel. He had practically no property: a staff, a bowl for water and a bag for food (bread). In his perception, happiness is independence from external manifestations of reality. The wealth of a sage is work, perseverance, movement. Freedom and the ability to feed yourself is true happiness. The goal of life according to Diogenes is strength of spirit and body. He considered those who lived idly and sought pleasure to be empty and worthless. They insulted the very essence of man.
Attitudes towards ancient scientists were different before and now in the modern period. For many, his life choice is an eccentricity. For others, it’s a life position. But everyone agrees on one thing: not everyone is able to give up comfort in order to prove their convictions.
Success is what you can achieve real success in
So, success is a ladder leading to happiness. Success does not come just like that; it must be achieved. But what exactly can you become successful at?
Each of us came into this world with our own special temperament, character, abilities and talents. Some people gravitate towards exact sciences, others find languages easier; someone writes poetry, and someone draws well. Even if you do not have a pronounced talent, there is definitely something that you are most pleased to do. Perhaps you can realize yourself perfectly simply by making someone next to you happy. The main idea: only those people who do what they love can be truly successful. Can a person for whom going to work is tantamount to hard labor be successful? Of course not. Such a person simply does what he is told, without inspiration, without zeal, without enthusiasm.
You can truly achieve your goals and develop only by completely immersing yourself in the activity in which you live. Therefore, do not try on other people's lives if you want to become a truly successful person. Find yourself and don't fall into the trap of dogma. Your soul knows who it really is! She gives you hints with her inner voice - hear them! Our mind often builds imaginary obstacles, but they are secondary, the soul knows that everything is possible in this world! Now let's try to understand what specific methods will help you achieve success.
Demonstrative type.
People of this type strive to show themselves in society, they love to be the center of attention, communication comes easily to them. They tend to start intrigues. These people are attracted by their originality, activity, artistry, and they are also able to interest anyone in anything. However, according to Leonhard's theory, people dislike this type because of excessive self-confidence, egocentrism, and laziness. They provoke conflicts. Characterized by demonstrative behavior, liveliness, mobility, ease of establishing contacts, and artistry. Inclined to fantasizing, posing and pretense. He has an increased ability to repress, he can completely forget what he does not want to know about, which unchains him in lies. Usually he lies with an innocent face, because what he is talking about, at the moment, is true for him; Apparently, he is not internally aware of his lie, or he is aware of it without remorse. Lies and pretense are aimed at embellishing oneself. He is driven by a thirst for constant attention (even negative) to his person. This type demonstrates high adaptability to people, emotional lability in the absence of truly deep feelings, and a tendency to intrigue (with an outwardly soft manner of communication).
The main feature of a demonstrative personality is the need to make an impression, attract attention, and be in the center of events. This manifests itself in vain, often deliberate, behavior, in particular, in such traits as self-praise, perception and presentation of oneself as the central character of any situation
Much of what such a person says about himself often turns out to be a figment of his imagination or a significantly embellished account of events.
Ask yourself: What does success in life mean to me? How do I understand it?
By listening to your inner world and needs, you can clearly formulate the concept of well-being, which will simplify the path to achieving it
By asking this question, you can make a list of the defining characteristics of happiness and inner satisfaction, and then rank all the items in order of priority, focusing on the importance of the task at hand.
Having defined the list, adjusted it and described all the items as accurately as possible, it is worth determining the cause-and-effect relationships between the items, which will allow us to formulate the concept of success. The next stage is the realization of a dream, while you can always come up with a new one, because the decision made is half of what has been done, which means that amazing prospects for self-improvement open up for everyone. As one of the great travelers said, only when you reach the top do you begin to see the entire horizon and new alluring routes
If at some point it seems to you that you yourself don’t know what you want, then this is quite normal, it is important not to stop your search and move forward, because all the most amazing and interesting things can await you just around the next corner!
How much success depends on external conditions
The degree of influence of conditions beyond a person’s control on his success is difficult to underestimate; on the way to realizing your own needs, you can encounter a variety of external factors, divided into two categories:
Unfavorable. Negative conditions are an excellent incentive to search for exclusive solutions and creative options for reducing risks. A financial market collapse will be an opportunity to start a project from scratch, work that was not accepted by the manager can be improved, and in bad weather you can spend time with your family;
Favorable. Good conditions will help you quickly achieve your goals, determine the next ones and begin to implement them. Being born into a wealthy family will allow you to focus on financial stability, successful passing of exams guarantees an increase in the level of education, and the profitability of a business gives impetus to its development.
Of course, in favorable conditions everything seems more predictable and safer, but almost all successful people agree that it was failures and difficulties that truly shaped them, and that they learned the most valuable lessons while undergoing trials, sometimes in the most unfavorable conditions. Everyone knows how to swim in calm waters, but only those who have been through storms more than once achieve real success.
Pedantic type.
According to Leonhard’s accentuation, this is a very neat person, which he demands from others. He does not pretend to be a leader and is rarely the initiator of conflicts. Such people are overly arrogant and demanding, however, they are very conscientious in business and reliable. It is characterized by rigidity, inertia of mental processes, and prolonged experience of traumatic events. Rarely enters into conflicts, but at the same time reacts strongly to any manifestations of disruption of order. Punctual, neat, scrupulous, clean, conscientious. Assiduous, focused on high quality work and extreme accuracy, prone to frequent self-examinations, doubts about the correctness of the work, and formalism.
External manifestations of this type are increased accuracy, desire for order, indecisiveness and caution. Before doing anything, such a person thinks long and carefully about everything.
Behind external pedantry is a reluctance to make quick changes and an inability to make them, and a lack of desire to accept responsibility. These people love their usual work and are conscientious in everyday life.

Essay about Success
Success is when achieving everything you wanted becomes possible. Success is when something you have been planning for a long time and really wanted to accomplish becomes easy. People perceive the word success differently. For some, success is a huge amount of money, for others it is a good achievement in their career, while others consider it success to get a good night's sleep.
You can consider yourself successful when you succeed in something, when you achieve some goal, and the sweeter the success, the harder you tried, and the more difficult the task you wanted to complete.
Each of us sets some tasks for ourselves and is considered successful if this task is completed. Every person at least once in his life has thought about what success is, how to achieve it, what needs to be done for this? Of course, there is no definite answer to this question, and there is no answer because there cannot be a general formula for success; everyone has different plans, tasks, and goals for life. People consider those who have a lot of money and high status to be successful, but this is not always the case, because not all people with fat wallets are happy, they still lack something in life. It turns out that success depends on happiness, just like happiness depends on success.
But still, there is one important detail of success, without which there will definitely be no result - effort. It is through effort that people achieve success.
So this is the most important thing that each of us should remember - this is trying on the path to success and never giving up, even in case of frequent failures
Sometimes success comes to us, but too late, at the moment when the result of this success becomes completely insignificant, and we no longer consider it successful. We want more and more new achievements and this is absolutely good, because a person should not stop halfway path and rejoice at the minor victory.
Personally, I consider complete peace of mind, the health of my entire family, minor and significant victories along the path of life to be success. After all, by being happy with what we already have at the moment, we can be successful and delight ourselves even in everyday affairs. I want to advise everyone not to despair and go to success no matter what!
Summary information
Understanding the responsibility to ourselves, as well as to the people around us, we must clearly follow the plan. All goals must be achieved no matter what. It is very important to surround yourself with people who, just like you, strive to reach the top. If there are only losers around you, then you will not be able to achieve what you have in mind, they will always pull you down. Therefore, think carefully about which people can help you achieve success, and who will slow down your development.
To be successful, you need to be a hardworking and selfless person. Always help those in need and do not leave those around you in trouble. By following moral principles, you can multiply all your achievements and achieve real success.
What qualities and actions distinguish a successful person?
1. Self-sufficiency. A successful person does not depend on the opinions of others, he is the master of his own happiness
It doesn't matter what everyone around you thinks - self-esteem comes from within.
2. The ability to forgive. Forgiveness frees both the offender and the offended. The let go of resentment will not devour you from the inside, cultivating illnesses and complexes. But don’t forget anything - don’t give anyone a second chance to offend you.
3. The ability to conserve one’s strength. You shouldn’t waste yourself completely in a momentary struggle. Sometimes you can retreat and gain strength for the next battle.
4. The best is the enemy of the good. There is no need to be perfect; perfectionism leads to neuroses and chronic diseases. Do it the best you can. Next time it will be better.
5. Don't live in the past. The ability to part with the past, forgive others and yourself is a step towards a happy future.
6. The ability to get distracted. There is no need to live only by Business, Work. Successful Oleg Tinkov states: “Work to live, but not live to work.” You need to find time for yourself and for your loved ones.
7. The ability to say “no”. A successful person knows how to say no. Following other people's desires leads to failure, stress and depression.
8. Kindness. Fact: the more a person achieves, the more friendly and polite he is to everyone
It doesn’t matter what the social status of the interlocutor is - a successful person will be polite and humane. Anger is for losers
Try to listen carefully and “hear” the interlocutor, do not interrupt and give the opportunity to speak. Be interested in the affairs and problems of others. Even if it is difficult at first, skill and sincerity will come with time. Try it, you will be surprised how many prospects the goodwill and participation of others will open up for you.
Owen Young (writer):
Be kind to everyone, even during telephone conversations, and especially to your loved ones.
9. Visual appeal. You don't have to look like a model, just be neat and well-groomed. It is difficult to believe in the success of a person who has unkempt clothes, dirty hair and sloppy nails.
Take care of yourself with pleasure, make an effort to please yourself first of all.
How to become a truly successful person
Personality formation is a long and painstaking work, which largely depends on who you are now and who you want to become in the future.
Therefore, it is important, on the one hand, to be able to fantasize and dream, to visualize and imagine the best options for your possible future every day. On the other hand, soberly and objectively assess your strength, skills, talents and capabilities
But what can be said accurately and unambiguously, and for which there are many examples in history:
Your personal effectiveness and success directly depends on your ability to use your own advantages, the ability to activate internal resources, improve personal qualities and characteristics
Focusing on future achievements, it is important to accept the upcoming changes, changing yourself and consciousness, pushing the boundaries of the usual, enjoying the process of conquering peaks
By systematizing the factors of success, it is necessary to hone your natural tools, opening your consciousness, developing creativity and flexibility, determination and self-discipline. Internal motivation and the use of external factors will help you achieve success by first defining for yourself its main components and individual components.
What is success in human life
Man by nature is inclined to experience hunger not only physically, but also spiritually. We definitely need communication, recognition, respect, love. And money is not always able to satisfy our needs like these. We need friends, comrades, a loving soulmate, and without this, I must say, money loses all meaning and value, right?
But even without money, especially with its severe shortage, will we be able to fully enjoy love, friendship, and fame? Will we be able to show proper care for our family and friends? The conclusion inevitably arises: true success is the complete harmony of its material and spiritual components. Success is the ability to make our life the way you want it to be. This is achieving your goals and getting pleasure and satisfaction from it.
It should also be understood that each individual person has his own, individual and unique perception of the world. First of all, a person’s vision of the concept of success depends on a huge number of his personal characteristics. This includes both the character as a whole and some of its components separately. Well, for example, ambition, emotionality, temperament and others. And for this reason, for some, the title of the best master - inventor in their hometown is enough, but for others, the Nobel Prize is not enough! Someone is glad that his wife and two children love him and are waiting for him at home, while others passionately seek the love of the population of both hemispheres of our planet! For some, a loaf of bread is the most precious and desirable thing, but for others, a million is not money! For some, success is the opportunity to install a golden toilet in their toilet, for others it is the opportunity to help people and feel needed.
Maybe it’s worth thinking about and determining the true, full meaning of this word for everyone, for yourself personally. Stop for a moment, leave the frantic cycle of modern life for a while and think about what you are striving for? What do you need recognition for? Whose favor do you crave? What kind of wealth do you want to have? What is your personal definition of success? Do this right now and you will receive an accurate compass that will set you the right course for swimming in the sea of Life. He will guide you through all storms and storms, help you maintain firmness and confidence in any situation and lead you to your cherished bay, whose name is “Dream”!
I hope you liked this article, and what success is in a person’s life is no longer a secret to you. In the next article you can learn about the main ways to achieve success.
What are the components of success?
The concept of universal success includes both a material component and a spiritual one. A financially successful person can be deeply unhappy in his personal life. This picture can be seen everywhere: when you can buy anything, while spiritual needs, such as friendship, love, communication, care, remain unsatisfied. At the same time, will a housewife be able to create that atmosphere of comfort, warmth and tranquility if the children have nothing to eat? Of course not, this is only possible with a sufficient level of material wealth.
It is safe to say that these are the basic and necessary components of the success of any person. Without the necessary level of material and spiritual benefits, success is impossible.
It is clear that each person is an individual with his own perception of the world. Some people have a more developed spiritual sphere, most often this can be observed in creative people. For them, success, first of all, is not so much in the results of their activities, but in recognition. And the fact that a person earns money at the same time is more of a side effect than an end in itself. But you must admit, it’s always more pleasant to “create” in a house with a sea view, rather than in a cold shack.
On the other hand, even the most callous and pragmatic boss, a successful businessman, has a soul. But the human spirit cannot be satisfied solely with the things of the material world. Therefore, financial success itself cannot give a feeling of complete happiness without satisfying spiritual needs.
Now I have expressed an idea that has brought me closer to understanding that success is happiness, and how to achieve it is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
Why don't most people feel successful?
Everyone dreams of becoming successful: everything seems to be logical here. But at the same time, few people think about their goals and know how to correctly formulate and plan them.
Applications for self-development, author's selection by area.
A person is accustomed to living according to ready-made plans that are given to him from the first days: first by his parents, then by school teachers, and then by society as a whole. The influence of television, the Internet, and the media also plays a role here.
Few people were taught to analyze their desires and dream. All this looks abstract and divorced from life. Without knowing oneself, a person, at best, is left to follow some beaten path, achieve mediocre results, and not feel the taste of life.
One day this will lead to a psychological trap: emotional dissatisfaction arises. This is precisely what numerous sellers of personal growth courses that are now so popular use. They promise to sell us an abstract example of happiness, but we have had it for a long time (just not everyone knows it).
