Habitually successful people are able to do this consistently

How many times have you talked to somebody you know who is very successful in their field? Chances are you would get one of two responses.

First is the stock response of hard work, paying your dues, making the right sacrifices and thinking long term. This is a perfectly and socially acceptable answer and it's quite common. It really is a way of drawing attention to the person's hard work, vision and willingness to take risks.

It also evokes images and themes from great American success stories. Obviously, one of the underlying principle of foundational ideas behind American success is that it is build on the foundation of hard work. So far, so good, right?

Here's the problem. There are tons of people who work hard and unfortunately, most of them don't achieve the success that your friend, mentor or community leader has managed to achieve. What gives?

On the other end of the equation are people who would tell you that their success is basically luck. Of course they would come up with different terminology. Maybe they would say it's destiny, faith, random events. They would like you to believe that they work hard, but things just happen at the right time and place with the right people to produce the right results.

What if I told you that both these explanations don't quite get it? I'm not doubting these people's sincerity, but if you want to truly get an understanding of how habitually successful people achieve the results that they get, you have to move from the standard explanation of hard work on one end and random luck on the other.

First of all, let's get one thing clear: Success is not random. There's nothing random about it at all. To achieve success in any kind of field, you have to have a target. This is called your goal. You have to focus on where you want your actions to lead you to.

You're not just moving around randomly and all of a sudden, you found yourself at the top. Sure, from time to time, that does happen. But in terms of everybody else, that's not a winning strategy. If anything, all that random actions only ensure that you stay where you are.

Success is not random. It requires pre-meditation, advanced planning and a big picture view. Please understand that since victory, regardless of how you define it, doesn't happen overnight. This means consistent effort. This means putting in the work and believing in your dreams despite the fact that you continue to fall flat on your face.

You must be able to do this even if other people around you are pointing their fingers and saying that you're crazy, stupid, dumb and there's no hope. They keep telling you to quit. You must be able to do this and to be able to do this consistently is not a product of luck.

You don't luck into consistent success. It just doesn't happen that way. Success is a habit. In fact, if you look at very successful people, it seems that they can't help but succeed. I know that sounds crazy to somebody who struggles. But they have reached that level.

Success is a habit but not in the way you think. A lot of people are thinking that it's a habit of finding yourself at the right place, at the right time, doing the right things with the right people to produce the right results. No. It's a habit of achieving a state of flow. This is the secret.

The good news is you have achieved your own personal state of flow before. You probably did not label it this way. You probably define it more in emotional terms. Maybe you're not even all that fully aware of it but everybody's capable of achieving a state of flow.

What exactly am I talking about? It's a mental and emotional state where you are able to stick to your goals and achieve them regardless of your circumstances. That's right. No matter how you feel, things fall into place.

For example, if you're supposed to write a midterm essay that is 20 pages long, as you already know, that takes quite a bit of work because you're going to have to start with a thesis and finding the right thesis takes quite a bit of time and effort.

There are, after all, many other competing thesis out there that go many different directions you could take. Once you have that, then you have to find the outline of how you're going to present that thesis. What position you're going to take. What arguments you're going to make.

Once you have that nail down, you're going to have to dissect it. How exactly are you going to prove that thesis? What parts are involved? You have to go through the pros and cons. You shouldn't just focus on the evidence that support your position. You also have to pay attention to the other side.

After all of this is in front of you, you have to massage all of these into a readable form that not only contains the points you're trying to make, but makes your points in a firm, clear and effective way. Talk about a tall order.

It's no surprise that a lot of college students struggle with this because it takes quite a bit of work and focus. When you achieve a state of flow, you blast through the whole process. You go from a confused idea of what your thesis is to zeroing in on a specific type of thesis and then going through so many different previous research to make sure that your particular thesis is unique enough.

That is a state of flow. What would have taken a painful investment of hours can be concluded within minutes or, at most, an hour or two. That's how you know you've achieved a state of flow. Similarly, when you're outlining your work, it's very easy to get lost in the jungle of details and before you know it, you get so discouraged and depressed that you just go out for a bite to eat and forget about your paper.
