Success is all about probabilities

Just because something didn't work doesn't mean it was a bad idea. There are more probabilities than certainties in the world. Find a game when the odds are in your favor and continue to take shorts. People will either help you or get out of your way if you know where you want to go in life. Successful people don't wait for luck to happen to them; they take action, they dream big, and they make it happen. Waiting and hoping are synonyms for incompetence and uselessness.

Success is not much about the idea you chose to pursue but the probabilities of your success. People say you have to be lucky to be successful, but that's not the case in all cases. There are no certainties in business and in love, but you can increase your chances by living out a dream and taking action. Many will call you crazy or feel you're not cut out for that kind of work or that kind of person, but sometimes you have to try before you can say for certain.

The odds that everything will work out are highly unlikely, but the odds that it will not are high. You have to keep your eyes on the goal, ignore what people say, and keep doing what you believe in. But these odds are given to us because they are a fact of life. We can't do much about it. So it's better to decide on your priorities and make decisions based on probabilities and probabilities only.

There are many probabilities than certainties of outcomes. Don't expect all your eggs to fall in one basket. Don't think that because you are going to college it's going to make you successful. Do not think because the guy has a high-paying job and he's intelligent he can make a romantic spouse. You are putting yourself at risk if you don't know what you're getting yourself into and putting yourself on a blind date with a guy, girl, or whatever.

You can't fix something that you don't know is broken. If you're not getting any results, don't stay too long with it. Wait for another one that works better. At times, things will work out and sometimes they won't. When you see what you want for your life, don't be too stubborn to just do it. And when you do, you have to ask yourself one question: what's the probability that this is going to work?

Thinking and planning and being honest with yourself, are the foundations of your success. It's easy to lose sight of the end result and get discouraged, but it takes a lot of courage and strength to follow your heart and live out your dreams.

If you're not pursuing something, you're not going anywhere. The probabilities will not always favor you, but it's ok, that's the way it is. We can't control everything, so the only thing we can control is our actions and our thoughts. Be sure to do the same thing and be consistent. Look for opportunities and take some risks. If it doesn't work out, no harm no foul. You still have your dreams, and it was not because it was a bad idea in the first place.

Never give up on your dreams and goals, it's what will take you where you want to go. We all live in a world filled with risks and opportunities, so be sure to not limit yourself. Some people won't understand it, but dreams are universal, they're human, and they're the same for everyone. So why not make them happen?

Remember: It's not all about luck and luck only; you have to go out and work for it. Nothing will come easily. Things will not be handed to you. No one will give you success or luck. They're free gifts to everyone that works hard for it. If you're not chasing your dreams, you're not taking advantage of them.

It's hard work and determination that will get you where you want to be in life. There is no statistical certainty that things will fall in place for you. Follow your heart and don't settle. Don't just think about your dreams, go out there and make them real. No one is going to be there to protect you from what you want. You will need to step up to the plate, be strong, and make your dreams a reality.

It might be hard, but it's worth it. Sometimes you have to accept that there are risks involved, but you have to do it. Don't live in regret and this life you have now is yours to take. You have to live life to its fullest, be grateful, and fight for your dreams. You never know how many years you have left, so you might as well enjoy them.

While I can't guarantee you that you will make it, I can guarantee that if you keep your eye on the prize, if you do the right things, and if you take control of your thoughts, you can.

Final thoughts

Don't be afraid to take chances. Dreams are something that doesn't happen if you don't have the courage to pursue them. Remember, you're not a professional athlete. You cannot predict the outcome, but you can prepare for it. Always be prepared and always put in the work. If you dream, go out and make it happen.

You never know what you might accomplish if you're not afraid to take action. We all have an opportunity here to take control of our lives and make our own paths. There is no excuse for not doing it. When one idea fails, try another until you find the game that favor's you. When the things around you go bad, you can always turn around and change them.

Now is the time. Time is the most precious thing we all have. What do you have to lose? You only have to lose time if you waste it. Life is short, go out there and make it your own.
