Successful People Are Intetional

No one ever rises to the top or becomes successful without being intentional. By being intentional, I mean giving all it takes and requires to be successful in life. Over time, I took out time to study the life of successful people and even went as far as to read up on some of their stories.

There is one remarkable thing I noticed about successful people. They are all intentional about life. That is to say, that intentional behavior is the key to success. Every successful person you have ever heard of rose to the top through hard work, focus, and determination. Each of them applied principles to chart a unique and individual path to success.

Through the research I have conducted, there is one consistent trait that virtually all of them possess, and it is the will/ determination to succeed. Most times, you don’t need a soothsayer to tell if one is going to succeed or not. Once you meticulously study their daily routine and see how determined they are to rise to the top, then you have just seen someone who is going to be successful in no distant time.

No one becomes successful or attains greatness by loafing around and taking important things that are very pivotal to their success with levity. At its core, living intentionally is about determining your values and then using those values to define goals for your life. 

Successful people realize that the only way they will ever accomplish their dreams is not by happenstance or by luck, but by putting in conscious effort into the right things over a reasonable period. With your daily routine, you can tell if you are headed for greatness or not.

Are you making each day count by putting in the required efforts needed to push you to the top? Or are you just sitting and watch life pass by without you showing up? Remember, no successful person had it easy, they had their low moments, but they didn’t let it deter them from chasing their dream. They were resilient enough to sail through life. You wouldn’t have heard of the great soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo if he wasn’t intentional about being successful.

Despite being born into a humble background, he dedicated his life and designed every action around how to improve his performance as a player. From a young age, Ronaldo determined he was going to be the best. He was never content and always wanted more.

He was always obsessed with anything that would improve his performance. Today, he is celebrated across the globe as one of the best football players ever, and also a five-time ballon d’Or winner. This is proof that success doesn’t come from your comfort zone, but rather you have to be intentional to achieve great heights in life.

In summary, if you must attain great heights in life, you have to be intentional about achieving that feat. Are you are into sports? Then you should study the lives of great athletes and implement everything they did to become successful. As a career person, get the necessary skills/ certifications you will need to propel you to the top. You will not reach your goals by accident. Achieving what you want will take vision and intentional action over time.
