successful life secrets

It seems we are stuck in a maze. A maze where we all are trying to find success in our lives but ending up with more worries and sadness. Although we start our journey to living a meaningful and fulfilling life, we do not focus on the thinking process & required knowledge to have it in actuality. We try to take shortcuts and have quick wins, resulting in a weak foundation on which we live our lives.

Let me explain to you a bit of the scientific perspective behind building successful lives

Success in life works with your age and maturity. For instance, if you are aging and not maturing, you will have serious issues in every aspect of your life.

People with successful lives focus on increasing their maturity much faster than their age. The world calls them a leader.

People with ordinary lives balance age and maturity. Their maturity increases with their ages. The world calls them an average person or good followers.

People with not successful lives struggle with maturity. Consciously or unconsciously, their maturity growth is quite slower than their age. The world calls them losers.

It has been observed that people whether they are leaders, followers, or losers, are not living their lives on their true potential or living a just extremely imbalanced life. By living lower than potential, I mean, they are unable to focus on their personal growth. They are not able to support the growth of people around them such as their kids or siblings. They blame others for their failures, they do not learn and accept the challenges.

On the other end, people living extremely imbalanced life, focus on one thing and forget the multiple aspects of their life. If they are good at work, they struggle with family. If they are good in a family they might be struggling with career or health or even spiritually. They believe that success is about making fame and wealth.

Why does this happen? I believe it is a weak foundation that does not let these people understand the core idea behind building a successful life.

So what is the solution?

Well, the solution is to build maturity in life. The more mature you are, the more successful your life will be. It is not much simple. Since we have to deal with the “imbalance” issue as well, we need to see how to build maturity in all aspects of your life parallelly so it can lead you to your true potential & you ended up with a meaningful or fulfilling life.

How to build maturity in life?

Once you acknowledge that growth in maturity is the only solution in building a successful life, this is a natural question to ask. I call it a multi-million dollar worth question.

Unfortunately, the answer is not straightforward. Not open enough to cover in one blog post at least. There has to be a series of blogs or a dedicated book to cover this multi-million worth question. Some topics will shake your current useless foundations and put you in a position to drop or redefine many things you are doing at the moment in your life. I am confident about this as I have been there. The answer has changed me from every perspective.

Since I am on a mission to enable people in designing their lives, I am going to cover every aspect of the answer to this multi-million dollar worth question about maturity in life. I have planned to start a series and will publish one detailed article in a month on my medium’s blog. I will start with the basics and will lead the discussion to the advanced level. You just have to follow me here on the medium or my social networks to get notified.

In the end, I pray that May Allah SWT makes this blog series fruitful for you, your family, your colleagues, and your friends as a successful human beings. Together, we will change ourselves and change the world towards ultimate success.

Aameen!
