“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others” Ayn Rand
There is nothing wrong with being competitive; it can be an asset. But setting out to simply achieve is a difficult trait and characteristic to beat. It also helps keep a person motivated to keep striving for more. The competitive man is often done once he feels he has won, even though there can be so much more to strive for and accomplish. Yet, a man who wants to achieve something will continue to find new things to strive to achieve.
The great thing is, if you strive to achieve your goals, the rest will fall into place. So instead of aiming for goals such as 'beating others', 'firing your boss' or 'becoming a millionaire', if you simply want to achieve, all those others things will happen anyway. Those who strive for something else will only feel disappointed if it doesn’t happen. But, if your goal is to achieve and you know you are working hard each day to make that happen, you have no reason to ever feel disappointed.
This also means that, in times of challenge, you will be more likely to not just survive but come out on top. While the person who wants to beat out his competitors may give up and quit when things get rough and it looks as though he won't be able to win, you will stay motivated by your desire to achieve.
Some Right Reasons for Successful
So, of course striving to achieve, and therefore striving for success, is a great reason to succeed. You want to make the best out of your career as an entrepreneur with your home-based business for a variety of reasons. Probably, one of the most important reasons has been to be able to become your own boss, pursue your interests, spend time with family and friends and enjoy the quality of your life more. For these reasons, you will always be able to find motivation by remembering what is driving you to be a success.
That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with wanting to be a millionaire either, though. But often times, when you are focused on wanting to achieve greatness, be a success and improve your life, the rest will follow. Of course, you can't sit idly by hoping you will be a success or a millionaire; you have to put the effort forth to make it happen. If you really strive to achieve instead of strive to beat others, you will be putting in your hard work and determination.
