7 Signs You Will Be Successful One Day

Have you ever wondered when looking at highly successful people: “Do I have what it takes to be as successful as them?”. Of course, people’s degree of success depends on how talented, creative, and innovative they are. However, there is a considerable amount of people who do not realise their potential and simply don’t believe that they can be successful because they compare themselves with people they should not.

A lot of times, how successful people pan out to be depends on their attitude and behaviour, rather than how naturally talented they are. Moreover, there are people that don’t even realise that the situations they are in can be sure signals of future success. To address this, the following article will be focusing on 7 signs you will be successful one day.

You manifest your intention

Are you someone whose intentions are the same as what is shown to the world? Manifesting your intention refers to the idea that your intention is actually what you manifest. In simpler terms, you do what you say you want to do (Universal Class, 2020). Manifesting your intention makes you look like a consistent and reliable person. Needless to say, honesty is one of the most important values for a person to have and will surely lead you down on a path of success.

You surround yourself with positive people

How would you describe the general attitude of your inner circle of family and friends? This point revolves around the idea of Contagious Positivity, which refers to the fact that, as the name implies, one person’s positivity will be contagious to those around them (Jensen, 2018).

If you surround yourself with people who have a positive outlook towards life, you are most likely someone who will experience success in the future. They will encourage you and push you to achieve things that not even you believe are possible. Similarly, if you are someone who can spread positivity, people will want to be around you because of how much encouragement and support you can offer (Cook, 2020).

You are independent

Do you often rely on other people to achieve the things that you want? If your answer is no, then this is a big sign that you will be successful one day. Being independent is very important for success because you don’t need other people to do or achieve something first, and more than anything, you don’t become a complacent person who will only wait for things to happen. You are someone who plans a strategy to be at your best, no matter the situation, rather than waiting for someone to help you when you are in an unfavourable one (Cook, 2020). After all, who knows when someone will be able to help you? Being able to achieve the things that you want by yourself is extremely important to be successful.

You have great mentors

Did you know that success can also be contagious? Similar to how positivity can be spread around people, having great mentors can set you up for success. Let’s look at Warren Buffett as an example. He is one of the most famous and successful investors in the world and his mentor was Benjamin Graham, who is widely known as the “father of value investing” (McKissen, 2019).

This just goes to show how much influence mentors can have on people’s success. If you have an experience and knowledgeable mentor who can help you find your strengths and weaknesses while providing guidance, chances are that you will eventually be successful.

You understand the value of mental health and self-care

How much attention do you place on your own health? Successful people are known to prioritize self-care. Being able to care for both your mental and physical health is extremely important, especially since the road to being successful is a very demanding and stressful one (Mourato, 2020). Sure, there will be instances where you have to overwork yourself to achieve what you want and sleep less hours. Just make sure that you don’t neglect your own mental and physical health to reach your goals, and always keep it as one of your top priorities.

You know what you want

Do you know you want from life? Do you know what your goals are? Having a clear picture of what you want will give you a huge advantage over most people. A lot of people live their lives without stopping to think what their goals are (Centeno, 2020). Knowing what you want will allow you to take relevant actions towards achieving your goals, rather than wasting your time doing things that might not have any effect. Of course, you will get distracted sometimes, or do things for personal pleasure that might not really help you move forward towards your goals. Even in these situations, knowing what you want and what you need to do will help you get back on track.

You take ownership of your decisions

Are you someone who bears the responsibility of your decisions even when things don’t go the way you want them to? It is very usual to see people try to blame others when something wrong happens because of how easy it is. Sure, there will be times when something people did caused things to go awry. But taking ownership of your decisions is a big sign that you will be successful.

Being able to take your own decisions allows you to control your own life (Centeno, 2020). If things go wrong because of the decision you took, well, it’s still your decision and you can change it. Letting others take your decisions and blaming them when things go wrong basically take away the power that you have.

To conclude this article, if you can relate to any of the points made in the article, you are most likely in the right path towards success. Even if the circumstances are not appropriate and things are not going your way, commit yourself to your final goal. Don’t let negative thoughts, and negative people, to get in the way of your success. Getting help from others is good, it shows that people care about you, but never get used to having others do things for you. Your own success will ultimately depend on what you do and how you do it.
