Success is a decision

That is true. Success is a decision.

Most people struggle, and try day after day to create a life filled with financial security, fulfilling relationships and a sense of purpose.

Others seem to easily achieve financial independence and happiness as they travel through the journey of their life.

Why the two groups are different? Is it just luck?

There are certain beliefs, attitudes and actions that, when embraced and followed, will pave the way for and lead to success.

You can be successful regardless of your age, gender, profession or education. You can be successful regardless of your job or position.  We are all born the same and with the same potential of success.

Success is a decision to act and not wait; learn rather than remain ignorant; live with passion and hope rather than despair.

Successful people develop the required mindsets and do what’s needed. Failures don't know the traits to develop and resist acquiring the skills it takes to succeed.

People fail when they find excuses to not live a successful life. They blame others, their backgrounds and environments or circumstances. They do not believe they can be successful.

Life is not selective. It doesn't favor some people, and pick on others. Life is just neutral. It is a perfect example of cause and effect. Life always offers alternatives and options. People who succeed and fail come in all nationalities, colors, ages and genders.
