What is the key to a successful life?

 Today so many people have been questioning what is the key to a successful life. The answer that I am most drawn to is becoming a master of what you already know. This not only helps you get through life but also gives you the opportunity to help others with their lives as well. To become a master of what you already know, ask yourself these questions:

"What do I know?"

"What do I have to offer others?"

"How can I make the world a better place?"

It's that easy. If you learn how to master what you already know, there will be no limitations within your life. You will be able to love more, laugh more, and feel good about yourself and what you have done for others. One problem I have seen in many people's lives is they don't know who they are or what to do with their lives. I've been one of those people, so I understand how it feels. To help with this problem, ask yourself these questions:

"What do I enjoy?"

"How can I share my talents with others?"

"What are my hobbies?"

By answering these questions, you will become better at sharing your talents with others and making them feel good. The more you share your talents with others, the more joy you will feel in your life. When people are happy on the inside or feeling good about what they did for or gave to others, they are more likely to want to share their talents with others.

The second key to successful life is helping those around you through what you already know. By becoming a master of what you already know, it gives you the ability to be a servant of other people's lives as well.


 By helping others with their lives, you will help them feel good about themselves. The more you are able to help others, the more people will want to be around you and have a better chance of making their own life better.

The third key is happiness. It can't be a successful life that is only about money or being happy at all times. Your life should include both joy and sadness but be more joyful than sad most of the time. The more you are able to make other people happy, the happier you will be. 

This is because you will feel good about making other people happy and when people are happy on the inside, they have a better chance of sharing their talents with others and making them feel good as well.

We all have something to offer in this world. It may not seem like it now but we all have something we can do to help others with their lives or make our own life better. 

By becoming a master of what you already know and helping others through what you already know, your life will have more opportunity to become a successful one. If you are not happy doing what you're doing, find something better to do that will make the world a better place through what you already know.

"I don't believe that a book can make a man great or help him to become a better person, but I do believe that it can open his mind and help him to rethink his values, and thus help him to become a better man by broadening his horizons.
