What I want to teach you today is the very first step to your success. 99% of the people start with the wrong step. That is why we have the 1% that is successful and the 99% that isn’t. How to truly be successful is a formula.

If you start with the wrong step in science you won’t get the right results. If you mix the wrong ingredients in chemistry together you might explode. If you take the wrong first step in your area of interest that you want to reach success in, you will fail miserably.

What Do I Mean By Truly Successful

If you truly are successful you will become immortal. You will be remembered as a genius. If you do what you are destined to do then you will awaken the immortal soul that lies within. You will never be forgotten. After you die people will remember your greatness. People like Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Tony Hawk and so many more that in their respected field were the best and still are.

How To Truly Be SuccessfulThe Most Important Thing

This is one of the most important things you can do in your entire life. How to truly be successful is not what you think it is. People told me that I can be whoever I want to be. That I can be successful at anything I do. But guess what? I found out that THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. And if you still believe it, you are setting up yourself for failure. But hold on here, I am not just going to make this claim. I am also going to explain why doing whatever you want to do is crazy and you will never be truly successful.

Where Do You HAVE To Start

• Socrates “Know Thyself.”
• Plato “I must first know myself”
• Lord Byron “How little do we know that which we are! How less what we may be!”
• Benjamin Franklin “Observe all men; thyself most.”
• Lao-Tzu ”It is wisdom to know others; It is enlightenment to know one's self.”

The very first thing is you HAVE to do if you want to be truly successful is know thyself. And I want you to get this so bad. If you don’t do this you will fail and fail and fail and fail and fail and fail again and again and again and again. I hope you get the point. Please read these quotes until you get it.

What Does It Mean To Know Thyself

I personally really struggled with this. It was really difficult for me to understand this point, but now I do and I really want to help you with this message. You MUST start here.

Knowing thyself means to truly know who you are.

• What do you think about without having to make an effort to think about it?
• What do you pay attention to without anybody telling you to do it?
• What comes naturally to you?
• Where have people told you that you are talented in?
• How To Truly Be SuccessfulWhat can you do for hours without having to look at the time?
• What do you visualize in your inner mind without making an effort?
• Where can you focus on one thing for a long time?
• Where do you feel naturally confident?
• Where do you love to be challenged?
• Where do the answers to your problems come easily to you?
• What do you feel inspired to do?
• Where do you NOT need the motivation to take action, but let inspiration guide you?
• What is the dream that you feel inspired by?
• Where do you put too much effort into?
• What do you value in your life most?
• In what field do you want to read constantly books about?
• What makes you not want to eat or drink?
• Why You Will Never Be Truly Successful If You Do Whatever You Want To Do

Here is the thing. The people who have said: “You can be whoever you want to be.” “You can accomplish anything you want.” Etc. Guess what? They were destined to do what they did. They knew what it was that inspired them. They knew themselves and followed their intuition. If you don’t know who you are and what truly inspires you then “You can accomplish anything you want.” doesn’t apply to you YET.

Be Smart About It

Now, this was the most difficult for me to find out. The reason is because my interest level in one field was never high enough for me to pursue one subject. So what I needed to do is combine my talents and interests into one goal.

Let’s take Oprah Winfrey as an example: To become one of the most influential people on this planet she had to have several skills in several areas of interest. She was an actor, news anchor, TV-show host. And she didn’t even know that she was going to have her own show. According to what I know, she didn’t really dream about becoming a TV-show host. But what I do believe is that she followed her intuition and she had faith that she was going to find her way and she did the things that inspired her.

Michael Jordan, on the other hand, did one thing and that was play basketball. He also played some baseball and football, but not for too long. Michael Jordan started playing basketball at a young age and never really stopped. By acclamation, he is the greatest basketball player of all times.

Conclusion

Know thyself. Find out who you are first, period. If it is not one thing then it is a combination of things that will lead you to accomplish one goal. Guess what, if your dream doesn’t inspire you and does not make you want to get up in the morning, then stop pursuing it. You are wasting your time.
