Success is easy to spot when you see people at the height of it, especially if the outcome of that success comes with high levels of rewards or recognition. When you see successful people, you might find yourself in awe of their success. You’ll have a tendency to think, how lucky they are, how talented they are, how gifted they are or whatever simple explanation for their success you can come up with.
The reality is that it takes a whole lot more than an over simplified explanation to reach any level of success. Although some of those things may be a contributing factor to their high level of success, don’t be fooled, because there are plenty of things that you don’t or didn’t see them go through as you’re recognizing their achievements during that phase of their journey.
“Success is not the absence of failure; it’s the persistence through failure.”
– Aisha Tyler
It’s easy to watch in amazement how great they are at what they do without considering the hard work and difficult times they endured to get them to where they are. The successful people you admire didn’t get to where they are by just being good at what they do, they became great at what they do through failures, setbacks, disappointments, self-doubt, non-stop practice just to name a few.
You name it and they’ve been through it, the same mental, emotional and sometimes even the physical struggles that you have to go through to achieve your goals. Those are the parts of their journey you don’t see. When they reach the top, you just see them at the top of their mountain not realizing the full extent of their climb to get there.
