People make plans for the new year. Irrespective of the fact that some people might call these plans goals or intentions, most of us usually put them.

We could not control ourselves, since we mostly want another chance to realize our plans. 

We like the idea of totally erasing our past failures and starting from the scratch again. 

We like to get a glimpse of reality when it seems that we could achieve success.

We simply like all of this; who does not like this?

But, if you have the same ideas for consecutive new years and you hardly pass January or perhaps March before forgetting these plans, you would find it difficult in most cases to erase the previous failures and have a new record, let alone the fact that this act might lead you to stop believing in these plans. 

The Missing Piece

But, what if you firmly believe that you would succeed this time (in translating these plans on the ground)?

What if you could be fully convinced that you could achieve your goals?

How would you feel then? How much time would you define to realize your goal?

Successful people do not follow the same plan, strategies, or work steps. They did not go to the same school, nor did they receive knowledge at the hands of the same teacher; yet they all managed to get to one point, that is, having unshakable vision, knowledge, and confidence in the consequences of matters.

You may enjoy good education, strategies, and work plans but if you do not find yourself in a place that enables you to realize and recognize your success and the essence of yourself, you are actually missing the most important part of the puzzle of success.

Discovering the Inner Knowledge

When you realize your essence and the essence of your success in the field you want to join, you would not stop (the journey) due to the conditions that seem to hinder your way. Rather, you would continue striving on your way. Even though you might probably adjust your way a little bit, you still feel confident in the results of the journey, and thus would continue it.

By the way, when you could imagine yourself living in the reality you want, you are going the right way.

Removing "Conditions" from the Equation

Remove the "conditions" from the success equation and ask yourself, "What should I do to succeed (in achieving my plans) this time?
