"There comes a special moment in
everyone's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special
opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission—a mission for which he
is uniquely qualified. In that moment he finds greatness. It is his finest
hour." - Winston Churchill
Your level of dreams determines your
level of success. Bigger the dreams, greater the success! Broader the vision,
greater the impact! At times, people are miser to dream big resulting in lower
level of success. Therefore, what is essential is to dream big to achieve big
in your life.
When you dream big, your imagination
levels go up and you will be inspired to work harder to achieve your goals. Additionally,
a great dream must be accompanied by great efforts. Only when the vision is
broader and efforts are enormous, you will be able to make it big in your life.
Life is not a cakewalk. You find lots
of distractions when you intend to accomplish your goals. You must not give up
when faced with stiff opposition and distractions. You must be able to find out
the reasons for distractions and remove the roadblocks to keep yourself aligned
with your goals.
When you want to achieve big, you must
have clarity in your mind about the way to accomplish your goals. In fact, clarity
in mind provides clear path to your success. Break your goals into short-term
and long-term and align them effectively. Even if there is any failure to
accomplish your short-term goals, your long-term goals serve you as a motivation
to move forward.
Invest your efforts daily in your passionate
area. Allocate a few hours every day in it to accomplish your goals. Read good
books and online resources to update in your area of interest. Connect with the
experts through associations and social media. Currently social media have
become a strong tool to network with likeminded professionals and update with
latest knowledge instantly. Open a blog or website to share your views and
ideas regularly with others immediately through social media. In this way, you
will be able to serve more number of professionals with your knowledge, wisdom
and experience. Help people and provide solutions to their problems. Over a period of time, more people will look
up to you for guidance and assistance. You will excel as a domain expert and
thought leader gradually. Find out the unexplored areas to create a space for
yourself. It is a highly competitive world where people are into rat race.
Hence, being unconventional in your strategies will help you stand out from
others. Find out what your friends in your area of interest are doing. Connect
with them and share your ideas and insights. Build a strong team of ignited
minds to grow as a thought leader. Creating groups in social media helps greatly
to be identified as an expert. It builds your leadership brand. If possible, author a book or contribute a
book chapter to gain more acceptance and visibility. Books give your
credibility and visibility. You will be respected by others. Take their
feedback and improve yourself. If there
is any criticism, work on those areas to improve your ideas and insights. Healthy
criticism is always desirable as it checks ego and hubris. At times, people
take their ideas and insights for granted. Healthy criticism helps them check
and improve their knowledge. When you
follow this methodology you will be able to excel as an international thought
leader outsmarting your competitors.
Conclusion
Here is the summary of your greatness
guide. Find out your passion and explore the gaps in it. Observe your external
environment with an open mind. Find out the areas of challenges to provide
solutions. Create both short-term and long-term goals. Connect with likeminded professionals both
physically and virtually. Make use of social media to share your ideas and
insights. Take feedback constantly to improve your leadership ideas and
insights. Be consistent in your energies and efforts. Manage your external
distractions to keep yourself on the right track and fast track. Over a period
of time, you establish your credibility and visibility and achieve greatness in
your life. Remember, nobody achieves
greatness overnight. It takes years of focused efforts, patience, persistence,
struggles and sacrifices.
Good luck to your greatness!
“There is no greatness without a
passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a
scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.” – Anthony Robbins
