Everyone wants to be successful, but many people struggle to reach their goals. We tend to look in the wrong places and seek out the wrong things to help us move toward success.
The most common misconception about becoming successful is that you are lacking external things. You may falsely believe you are missing external things like knowledge, resources or money.
Those things are nice, but they won't make you successful.
Success demands that you be the best person you can possibly can be. That means forgetting a whole bunch of what you've learned so far in your life. Our world is't designed to help people become successful; it's designed to help people survive. It doesn't always succeed in that goal, but largely that's the intent.
Begin by recognizing that you are one of over 7 billion people on the earth. You have ONE perspective -- yours. There are over 7 billion others.
Your perspective (and the other 7 billion) come from your experiences, knowledge and environment. No two of the 7 billion people on this earth have the same perspective. It's not even possible.
Here are some specific steps to change your perspective so you can be as successful as you want to be.
1. Accept that you might not be right
Start by getting over your ideas of right and wrong, good and bad and so forth. Your perspective is just one of many and it came from your experiences in life.
None of the other ideas or perspectives are better, worse, more right or more wrong than yours. We all think we're right, but that's just not how the world works.
Achieving things in this world requires a good understanding of how it actually works. You have to be able to lead people. You can't do that if you're stuck in false beliefs that you are right, someone else is wrong, or that the world is as simple as right and wrong.
2. Learn more perspectives
People rarely genuinely disagree. If you name any issue, everyone generally has roughly the same desired outcome. It's the details that we usually disagree about.
Those different ideas come from our diverse perspectives. We have different ideas, believe different things and sometimes have different agendas. But when we actually listen and understand each other, we gain something much better than just being right, we get a better understanding of the world and our fellow human beings.
When we gain that deeper understanding, we find common ground. It's from that common ground that we can build new things. We can't build on our differences, but we can build great things on our shared beliefs.
So go get more different perspectives. These can be found easily in books, documentaries, YouTube videos and many other sources. Learn lots about things that are way different than anything you've experienced. It makes you better.
3. Do something different
You can study, learn, understand and so on, but none of it matters until you begin to actually act differently. There's not much more to say on that. Just act differently and get different results.
Let's leave right and wrong and myopic perspectives to the politicians while we get back to making the world a better place.
