When did you last learn about the ‘PROCESS OF SUCCESS’ ? 

Do we realise that there is something common with all the people who succeed in life? That they all go through some phases in their success journey.

When they start, it’s usually seen as something different from the normal or a different approach altogether. They don’t have too many supporters for sure. Rather, they have people laughing on them. This is called the HAHA PHASE.

Next is the SILENT PHASE. This occurs when they start getting some early success. Or, when they ignore people’s reactions and continue doing their thing with increased conviction.

Finally, they start seeing big success. Their efforts start bearing fruits. This is when people tell them – ‘We always knew you would do it’!! Either the people start emulating them or they eat a humble pie. And it leads to the SUCCESS PHASE.

Unless you garner the courage to get through the HAHA PHASE, you’ll never really succeed. Or you’ll quit because you can’t bear people’s awkward reactions. We are so conditioned for seeking public approval for almost everything we do, that we find it difficult to break through the mental conditioning and create a space for ourselves.

When someone reaches out to us to help us create that personal space and feel comfortable in the same, instead of giving in to fear, we should try and hold their hand and take their help. Thankfully, there are still well meaning people in this world who can help us to grow and realise our true potential.
