15 Lessons You Can Learn Only From Success (part 2)

9) Great opportunities come from great networking

Play long-lasting games with long-lasting individuals If there is one lesson to be learned on the road to success, it is that if you spend enough time helping other people achieve their goals, you will eventually succeed in achieving your own. This straightforward but powerful life lesson emphasizes the value of forming close relationships with wealthy people. Those who surround themselves with prosperity. You can achieve something great on your own, but it's more fun and satisfying if you build connections along the way and cooperate with others. This is another form of leverage; use it wisely and always give back more than you take. Successful people enjoy the fact that they are never the smartest person in the room because they are always eager to learn new things.

10) Fear is the enemy of success

The truth is that if you try and fail, at least you won't live with regrets, but if you never act on your dreams because you're afraid of failure, then you will die as an old bitter person wondering what could have been. At the end of the day, it's just a matter of commitment and determination. If others can do it, you can too. Lack of courage and confidence makes people live lives of quiet desperation.

11) The greatest teacher is failure

To elaborate on the previous point, another justification for not being afraid to act on your ideas is that failure makes for the best instructor. Failure is a necessary component of success, and those who have achieved it are all too aware of this. People who claim to have never failed in life and to have discovered the secret recipe are outright lying. Liars' fallibility makes you use your creativity to advance, and most importantly, it develops character. Few people had it easy, but there is a case to be made that some difficulty is healthy for your development as a person, so when it happens, embrace failure and use it as fuel to master your craft. To see what we mean, open a new tab on your laptop and look up famous people who failed miserably in life.

12) Putting things off is a slow but definite road to suffering.

We all know at least one person who is intelligent and has the potential to succeed greatly in life, but they simply lack discipline. Procrastination, or resistance as Stephen Pressfield refers to it in his book The War of Art, kills a little bit every time you do something even though you don't feel like it. On the other hand, the more frequently you procrastinate, the stronger resistance becomes.

13) Talk less, and accomplish more

The more you talk about doing something, the more likely it is that you won't do it in the end. This can even be explained scientifically if you get your dopamine hits and excitement before achieving your goals, you will lose motivation, so speak less and do more if you want to experience success. People who don't talk about the work but do the work are a rare gem, which is why success seems to follow them wherever they go.

14) Working hard leads to freedom

Successful people have made the journey and they understand the importance of working hard and being relentless if you are young you have the energy to do anything you dream of so use this time to set your life up for Success. Success opens the door to Freedom whether it be Financial or Spiritual but to get there you need to put in the work it doesn't come easy just make sure what you work hard on provides Society with real value that's an important aspect as well.

15) Free meals are not available.

There are no free lunches in this world, so whatever your goals and aspirations are, you will have to pay a price for success. This price may be in the form of giving up comfort and settling for mediocrity, or it may be indirect financial investments. Either way, the benefits will outweigh the costs by a wide margin. That is all for today. The only question is: Are you willing to make this trade?

And here's a bonus…

16) Anything is Possible

Everybody has two lives, and the second one starts when we understand we only have one. Achieving success teaches us that everything is possible if we set our minds to it. If we dream big and work hard, we can achieve anything. You can literally do the impossible; many others have done it before. If you truly believe it, you will become the best version of yourself. If you think otherwise, your prize will be at most mediocrity.
