A TRIP TO THE FUTURE

Regardless of how old you are, where you live, or what your career goals are, it's likely your ultimate goals in life are to be happy and successful. To be successful means more than just having money and making your mark. It means following your passions, living purposefully, and enjoying the present moment.
Part One of Four:
Developing a Path to Success
Identify your passions. Before you can achieve success, you will have to define what success means to you. While it may take years to realize what you want to do with your life, identifying your passions, interests, and values will help you set goals and give your life a sense of meaning. If you have trouble identifying these things, then ask a friend or family member to help you. Ask yourself the following questions:
What do you want your legacy to be?
How would you like to be remembered by others?
How do you want to make your community a better place?

Not all education has to be formal. Apprenticeships and long-term training programs are also positively correlated with higher incomes. Obtaining a Certificate in your field can help to increase your salary.
Educate yourself for pleasure as well. The more you know about the world you live in, the more questions you will have and the more interested you will be.

Manage your finances. Learning how to manage your money will help ensure your financial stability over time, regardless of your income.
Keep track of your expenses. Subtract your monthly expenses from your monthly income to determine how much spending money you have available each month. Also, review your bank statements often and notice where you spend your money. This will help you prevent over-spending and ensure that your bank statements are correct.
Understand your income. When calculating your income, be sure to take into account the federal, state, and social security taxes that will be deducted from your gross pay. Don't overlook miscellaneous deductions, such as health insurance premiums, savings bonds and loan payments. The resulting number is your net pay, which is what you end up taking home with you.
Cut back. If you are not earning enough money to cover your net expenses, then look into your expenses to see . Writing those goals down and what you plan to do to achieve them helps you on your path to success. Try again...
Choose a career that pays your bills.
Not exactly. While it is important to find a job that pays enough for you to support yourself, it's also important to choose a job that you're passionate about. Not everyone defines success exactly the same way, so you need to ask yourself how you can better yourself or your community, and what ways you can achieve that success. There’s a better option out there!
Manage your finances and time.
Yes! Whatever you choose to do in life, you want to make sure that your finances are in order and that you have good time management. Procrastination and overspending can cause you unnecessary stress, and get you off the track of achieving success. Set up reminders of important tasks, or make a list and check off each task as you go to keep you organized and on track. You should also keep track of your expenses and save money where you can. If a negative thought arises in your head, then acknowledge it, label it a negative thought, and then let it fade away.

Regular meditation or mindfulness exercises can help to make this feel more natural for you.
Get in the habit of paying attention to small details around you. Appreciate the feeling of the sun on your skin, the sensation of your feet walking on the ground, or the artwork small details of life, you're more likely to find happiness in those moments. Negative thoughts are going to pop up, but if you practice recognizing them, you can label them as such internally, and then toss them away.
Cultivating Success in Every Aspect of Your Life
Look after your health . A healthy body supports a healthy mind. Eat a balanced diet and ensure that you aren't lacking in any necessary nutrients. Establish the cause of any problems you may experience, such as a lack of energy or a lack of concentration and deal with them by discussing with a doctor, nutritionist and related health professionals. Get plenty of exercise too but make your fitness choices according to what you enjoy.
Follow up on opportunities. If you have a chance to shine, take it. If you are worried you won't have time and energy for a good opportunity, ask yourself: would this contribute to my end goals? If it would, then get rid of other commitments in order to pursue this opportunity.
Remember, some chances only come around once. You can't bank them.
This doesn't mean you should throw away all your savings or get rid of your safety net. It just means you should say yes when you are given an offer to move ahead.
Surround yourself with positive people. Make friends with people you admire for various reasons: because they are happy, kind, generous, successful at work, or successful in other ways. Join forces with those who have achieved things you want to achieve, or who are on their way to a common goal. Don't let jealousy get in your way: "nobody's success is a threat to yours".
When making friends with someone, ask yourself if the person makes you feel motivated, positive, and confident, or if they make you feel tired, overwhelmed, or incompetent. Choose to spend time with the positive people, not the ones sucking your energy.
If you have friends or family members who always make you feel bad about yourself, limit the time you spend with them. Also, make sure to identify relationships that are not helping you to move towards your goals, that stress you out, or that require too much of your time and energy without being reciprocal.
Look for mentors among the people you admire. If you think you could learn from someone, ask for their advice.
Set boundaries with others . Advocate for your own needs. Be caring towards others, but don't accept abuse from anyone. Remember, being a good person does not mean you have to take violent or disrespectful language or actions from anyone.
Respect the boundaries others set for you, too. Listen to your loved ones when they tell you they need space, or want to do something alone.

The best way to ensure you're successful in life is to insert yourself in the right environments, whether macro or micro. The people with whom you interact, the places you live and work, and even the stores you shop at can have an impact in your life. Although micro-environments seem to have fleeting influence, you can turn them into macro-environments by spending more time with those new people or at those places. Choose environments that are motivating and inspirational.

Try to work hard to earn good money so that you can lead the life that you think will help you be fulfilled. If you don't have, strive rather than feel deprived.
