Psychology of success and failure

The definition of the word success means achieving of desired results. And the opposite word is failure that in general refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. There are some kind of relationship between these two words.So I would like to talk about the branch of psychology which refers to these words - The psychology of success.

What is your first thought when you hear the word - success?! What does that mean to you? For some people it associates with bigger salary, bigger house,better car or the best grade of exams. So what is success: finances, career, relationship, health? Maybe success is like a road to your fulfilled and happy life?

I think there are some different ways of defining personal and professional success, and success in life in general. Everyone can be successful in every area of his or her life.So it's quite important to know the main guidelines of The Psychology of success. This branch of psychology give some suggestions how to reach success in your life, and how to escape from failure.

The basic principles of being successful:

• Have a clear picture of what exactly you want to achieve or become. Keep this picture at the top of your mind at all times. Doing something you want to do, because you want to do it, will motivate you to succeed at it. Start with the end in mind.
• Be self-confident. Believe that you can reach whatever you want, believe that you will succeed and stay away from negative emotions.
• If you make a mistake, learn a lesson from it, then move on.Everybody doessomething wrong and that'e not a disaster.
• Be kind to yourself. Too often we punish ourselves for failures, but never reward ourselves for success. Forget about self-punishment,it's not the way to reach your goals.
• Make a plan of actions and then take a step or two each day, reminding yourself that each step is bringing you closer to your goal.
• Do not give up until you have achieved what you desire.

Tu sum up,I would like to say that failures are a part of our way to success,but the main thing is to make a good lesson from them and move on. Success is like a hard and long work so now it is the best time to start it. :)
