Everything you need is within you


The only problem is, it's all stuck in there, and you can't get it out. 

Maybe for you all you need is within you because for me, if what I need is at your doorstep I’ll cross over to your lane ooo.
 What one need might not really be within the person’s reach it might be at the end of this 360 you talked about.
Me I’ll turn all the way 360 oo to get it ..that’s it

I think you are mixing 2 things here that causes confusion to the readers.  First, in order to be successful, all that you have is not enough.  You need the help of others.  They will serve mentors, friends, partners, and many more.  They will fill the things that you are lacking and will cover your weaknesses.

Second,  you do not need to envy others on their sucessful moments.  Everyone has different pacing and you just need to wait for your turn (it will surely come).

i don't really agree with what you say, because the majority of successful people are usually people who seize other people's fortune or work with other people to achieve their goals. for example elon musk, from several of his current companies, he bought all of them from other people and then he made them all in his name and developed them. he never built his business from scratch, he only bought finished products and then developed them according to the analysis he did on the market. and then steve jobs, bill gates, and many other successful people.

so when you say that everything is within you to achieve success, that is wrong, because the reality on the ground is not like that.

Very helpful piece of writing this has motivated me alot . Wish people could give such good advice like this to the young ones in the society

The mental and physical abilities necessary for a man to succeed or move forward on earth have been given by the Creator. But in order to create the path you need to achieve success, you must go outside and need the help of some people to connect the necessary ingredients and ignite your inner passion. The first thing that is needed for human success or the development of mentality is economic liberation. This path is not easy but man can make this path by his own efforts and skills. Since human beings are social creatures the success of life requires the participation behavior of every human being in the society to carry out the tasks.

What you said is right some time everything we need in the part of success is not all within us, it is necessary to leave our most precious comfort zone for greater greener pasture while on the hand some people may tend to belittle their days of little beginning by making less efforts and adding less value to the area they are into. However the is topic should be seen in two ways and is best balancing up things, stick to what works for and sometimes trying a new things  new ideas can also be considered . Most times is hard to be doing one thing and expect different results.

I may agree with you but I think that OP is addressing those people that has capacity to use those in their surrounding to support their needs yet keep asking for more while what you have addressed here is indeed a situation where nothing is available and lack of tools to use for having what they just need even in each minute of their life.
its sad that in Cities , water are being wasted by others while in place life mentioned that people cannot even have 1 sip of a clean water.

Wrong , looking for something new is never a waste of time because sometimes this will make us evolve and do something more usable than what we used to have but of course being contented as well is one thing we must consider .
have been exploring life for many years now but I choose to file some of them while making my best in one field .
life is valuable and time is important so make useful of those.

IMO, this seems true because realizing that each individual's life balance is different, there is no common standard for all of them, and when you have truly satisfied your own desires, that is enough, that's all.

I often use the example of the life of a farmer and a leader to describe, for a farmer's life is happy when the harvest season receives many agricultural products and basic daily life attached to the farm. For leaders, they are happy when they can protect the people and help the country develop with reasonable policies. So as long as in each different role we recognize the meaning of our own lives, everything can be achieved within ourselves without having to complicate things with things that do

It is because they have a better need that hey need to address. In this life that we have, even we have desires to do something meaningful in life but when we lack resources or we have other obligations that we need to cater first. What we do is we first fill those needs we have to.

And that is because it is important to do our obligations first before our desires even if we are strongly believing that there is a certain good result that may come with what we wanna do.

Chances are good to do something on your own if you have good skills you can solve your own problems but look around you trying to discover something new is a waste of time. It is never possible to improve this mile board worldwide. You will find the things you need easily but it is not possible without enthusiasm to do something for others. Many people who are enthusiastic at first are not found later.

Extremely laughable by the way, I got confused with the phrase of everything been around as well seeking solution again.
But in all what I see  is that one must put effort to make use what is around you seek it's solution to succeed in all aspects, just that the structure of the sentence is little beat deraying.

there are times that we need to missed or lose that one before we finally realized how important
they are in our life , either this is about material thing or human thing  yet their importance are within our reach
but we sometimes closes our eyes to not seeing them to be our important thing.

Successful people don't copy other people's business strategy. The fastest way to grow in business is to discover yourself. No matter how people might jump from one business to the other, there is still a possibility of not succeeding because success does not come from what you don't know.

How do you discover yourself? How you discover yourself is by seeing yourself doing a particular thing without stress and you are making alot of money from it. But when you find it difficult to make money, no matter how hard you try, just call it a quit. There is a word which says if environment can't change you, you change environment.

I like what you said and I also have the realization that all big steps must start from a small step. So we don't need to rush and it would be better to enjoy the process and develop the business we already have.

But I also learned that brave steps are needed when taking risks. But this step must be taken after going through a lot of analysis and consideration as well as careful planning. And yes, we have to focus on always being ourselves and focus on what we can do and not focus on what other people can do.
Although we may hear many stories of success of young people. But we have to look at the history of these young people's struggles. before becoming successful.

I agree. I think we, as people, are too focused on what is around us or rather what we do not have. Instead of focusing on things we do have, we focus on things we do not have and get pressured or stressed. But if you just look within you, I am sure you can find something worth noting of.

Even if it is about skills or whatever it is you feel like you do not have, all you need to is find that within you and ENHANCE it more. That is all you need to do. Improving what you already have can go miles instead of trying to invent something incredibly new and watch it fail. I am not saying to go play safe, but I am saying that sometimes starting all over again is just a waste of time.

I completely agree with your comments. In order to be successful or to achieve anything, we definitely need the help of others. Apart from other's help, cooperation, advice, etc., we have to help each other in various needs. Humans are social creatures. In this case, people are never able to live alone And I've found that the kind of success we want depends mostly on what the people around us really want. For example, if most of your friends are good students, you can never be worse than that group. Similarly, if people around us are involved in good business etc. then you can be completely influenced by it And it is not possible to keep all of your creativity and well-being within yourself. All that is good in you needs to be spread through others and all that is good in others must come to you.

This is a view I've always held. I don't believe people are successful because they're lucky. People are successful because they work hard and smart. There are people who also believe in fate, that B's to me. They believe no matter how hard you work,  if it isn't meant to be, it won't be. Who made those rules?

As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as fate. I don't care how interesting they place it. I believe we're the architects of our own fate. If you don't work hard you won't be successful. A person can't be successful and you belittle their hard work over the years to just fate or luck.


As the saying goes "The difference between a genius and a madman is in the result"
It may seem greedy now because it didn't work out, but if it had worked out the person would be applauded and used as a reference when talking about stuff like this. There's a thin line between greed and ambition.

Closing down one business to start another is not something I would advise anybody to do, the same way I wouldn't advise anybody to take all his money and risk it all in one investment, but some people have done it and it has worked out for them.
We tell people to invest or gamble what they can afford to lose, but some people have gone against that and it has worked for them.
I'm not one of such people. I'm the person who likes to take calculated risks and make calculated decisions, but my point is, that you can't term it "greed" without understanding the person's view of things.

The first step to getting to know what you want and where to get what you want is first discovering yourself. You alone know yourself and what you are and not capable of, sometimes what you need is something that is not within you. Let's just tell ourselves the truth, everything you need cannot be within you. Sometimes, it is very necessary that you cross to the next person's lane to getting the right opportunities you need. This opportunities can come in the form of job employment, discovery of raw materials, discovery of hidden talents, skills acquisition, networking, and many others. You might not get these opportunities if you keep searching from within your comfort zone. So, keep searching everywhere till you find that one unique thing that will make you productive and efficient and when you find it, be committed to being productive.

I don't know if this conversation goes here or fits more in the Politics&Society board. You both are describing two of the most popular ideologies in the last centuries: liberalism when Luizwalter Crypt says that everything you need is within you (individualism) vs socialism when knowngunman answers that sometime you must try out what others are doing (gregariousness).

Reality is more complex like that and, paradoxically, both are right and still wrong. There is no perfect formula, not yet at least.

I agree with you. Understanding our strengths and weaknesses is crucial to tailoring our business for success. While we might operate in a similar space as others, leveraging our unique strengths and addressing our weaknesses will allow us to differentiate ourselves and offer greater value. This approach will ultimately lead to a unique business proposition that sets us apart from the competition.



Your statement reminds me of the "Red Car Theory." This theory encourages us to look beyond the obvious, question the status quo, and seek opportunities in unexpected places. It's like driving down the street and noticing a red car. Suddenly, you start seeing red cars everywhere. But, the number of red cars hasn't actually increased; your focus has simply shifted.

This theory resonates with me because it highlights how our mindset and perspective shape what we see. Opportunities are always around us, but our ability to identify them depends on how we choose to frame things. So, I completely agree that we need to refine our mindset and perspective to start actively searching for opportunities around us.

well, that might be a true statement, that what we need to develop right now is ourselves. Many people argue that they wait for something before doing something. However, if we really want to do something, we don't have to wait for it. We can try to start working, and collect money to buy the tools we need. It's better than having to wait for someone, or anything else.
Starting from what is there is very important. Many people have enthusiasm but they keep delaying, and in the end they lose that enthusiasm. So, what we need to achieve our dreams is ourselves. We can start making that happen by starting with the thing closest to our target first.

Exploring our potential and recognizing suitability from the point of view of where we are going to start, when we can achieve this, it will be much easier to develop financial freedom through the skills and opportunities available. We have many things within us but people are unable to explore them because they try to be comfortable in a risk-free zone so that opportunities for success are never explored.

That's greedy because they tried to build another business but the initial business was closed, even though they didn't need to do that because at first the business looked small but as time went by they were able to develop it into something bigger. Our concept of life must be to know ourselves, our skills and suitability for the business we want to build, following other people's trends does not guarantee success because it could be that we don't have the skills there and on the contrary we will incur losses.

Businesses must be built slowly for people who are not yet mature because we need to go through a long process to become more successful. This is different from people who are already successful because even if they open a business in another sector, it will not affect their finances on the development of their basic business, so their first, second or third business will not be disrupted.

These appear as mere hollow words. I think the reality is more nuanced than this. It might not be as simple as this. This is like a line coming from an inspirational speaker or author, or from a psychologist or counselor doing some pep talk. The reality, however, is that there isn't a single formula.

Aren't you contradicting yourself by starting with an advice that "everything you need is within you" but ended up advising to "just look around, the solutions to your problems are just lying by the corner"?

Honestly, I sort of believe in this for a lot of the world population. However, we also need to remember that there are places in the world where there isn't even clean water let alone having the possibility to do something within yourself. So while I do agree that someone who is poor in a very rich European nation could figure something out to make more money and they have the tools and the location for it, we also need to remember some poor kid in Africa that lives in a tribal place where there is just one clean water well may not have what it takes to recover. We need to do a lot better for those people as well, need to help them out and this is a global effort for sure.

Doing the same activities as people who are already successful is still possible because at least we follow some positive things that could be an added value for yourself. 

But in this case we also need to see some things that may not be in accordance with the style we have and with the plans we will build . We don't have to be someone else and follow the way others do to become a successful person because everyone has their own plan and of course we must realize that even though some of those who are successful are building from zero and sometimes come from underprivileged families but on average those who are successful or big motivators have privileges and not a few come from families whose economic level is higher so they are easier to achieve success than their followers who sometimes come from castes whose economy is a little difficult.

Speaking about business doesnt only have to focus on whether it has been done for a long time or has just started because in the end we have to look at several factors that are indeed whether it will be profitable or not if it continue .
Even if the business has been done for a long time but the progress and prospects are weak then why continue and it is better to look for new, fresher business options.

Everyone has their own spotlight, this is the phrase that I always hold on to. It means that even now you are not successful like others, or for example, the colleagues you have in university or in your work are already successful or having a luxurious life. Don't be envious of them because I believe that all people have their own time where the spotlight will be pointed on them. Instead, take that as an inspiration to do even better in life. It should be a reminder that you shouldn't quit and keep moving forward if you want to make yourself successful or have a luxurious life like anybody else.

That's the one that drives me to keep working hard and at the same time doing investments in order to have more opportunities so that one day I can become more financially independent and also have the life I dream of. I don't dream of a very luxurious life, just a life where I can buy the things I need and want at any time.

well you're right, most of what we know comes from different people's views especially when we were studying, everything stated in the books we read came from the ideas of other people before they become successful, so we have to accept that not everything comes from us.

I agree with you to some extent that one has every thing it takes to be successful but why do we keep getting this statement from people who are not yet successful? yeah because it's easier said than do. some person who could be advising you may not make use of his own words of wisdom, I'm not specifically talking about you OP but a general notion around the globe.

One thing I know for sure is that, one needs to have one thing which he or she knows how to do  very, every one has a role to play in life and when it's your role play it very well. in regards to this if you got a skill then what is left is to maximize your give, use it to make money how ever way you can.

In respect to what you said about crossing ones lane, yeah we shouldn't be looking at another person's success story and hence force ourselves to be successful in that same way, there is this popular quote that saids " if 1+9 = 10 and 5+5 =10, 8+2=10 etc then you should find your own solution, we all must not go with 5+5 but we'll still land at the same answer. further more focus is what must people lack instead of share 20% of your attention to 5 different things why not use a 100% focus on one and you will run faster and achieve your life goals.

Well it's all in ones court to play the ball, if you win the whole team wins but if you loss then only you loss.

Your inspiration is from ASA's song "360 degrees", this exact line made me remember the whole song because it is the same.

Everybody has specific things that they're good at and that when they do them, they will make money from them, it is our duty to try and find these things because if you try and imitate another person's business or own, you may just be struggling and may never experience the same kind of success that that person is experiencing engaging in that business. find your own.  Any business that will work well for you will usually be around your passion.

There’s always a lot to discover deep within us. We just have to let out all of these inner resources and potentials and eventually utilize them for our own benefits. And as much as possible, we should come out also from our  own shell because there’s actually a lot of good things waiting for us outside of our own selves. Patience and determination are the keys. If you want to be successful, make use of your own potentials and navigate them based on your purpose and your goals, at the end of the day you will realize that the best things in life are seen coming from within, and you don’t have to find it from other persons or individuals.

You've phrased it in a bit of an unusual way, people generally don't close successful businesses - they'd end up selling them off and may choose to pursue a different line of business instead which may turn out to be a poor swap. It sounds a bit like "the grass is always greener on the other side" and people chasing a dream that might not be true. However some people quite simply get burned out and bored after doing one thing for a long enough time, so even if they ended up losing on a new venture, the break in monotony might be better for their health in one way. People who have built really successful businesses can ultimately choose to hand over the management to members of staff instead, another hole in the logic you've put forward.

Yes but when I mean all is within it includes the books and ideas. If I should mean one doesn't need the other to succeed then am not telling the truth. We learn everyday and is from other people's Ideas/errors. No man is an iland.

Those businessmen that are taking a leap of faith with their new ventures are the brave ones. They don't mind if they're going to step into a new doorstep with what they're about to do. While there's the meaning about having everything within us, you have to look at the other perspective if this is about making money and making a business. When you startup a business, it's not all about you but everything about the people that you're targeting as your customers and the ones that you're going to render your service. The solution that you're going to provide for them is what they're looking at to.

Those kind of people are crazy. I don't mind if it's about gambling and even trading. But establishing a business and will have to lie on the belief of being lucky to make it successful, they're crazy to the highest level. They have to understand that setting up something to reach their goals and become successful takes blood and sweat, a lot of time, money, effort, etc. That's all they have to know and see if they will have to do whatever it takes for them to become successful.

But most atimes what we have can make us what we want if only we can think big and make it larger but rather we feel we can't survive with them and we abandon them in search for the ones with greater values though they pays at times but what if they fail? But the one you already know the in and out would hardly fail.

We all have a reservoir of untapped potential & resources within us. Everything we need to navigate lifes challenges & find fulfilment is already present within us. Our strengths, talents, wisdom & resilience are waiting to be discovered & harnessed. By tapping into our inner resources & trusting in ourselves we can overcome obstacles, achieve our goals & create a meaningful life. With self reflection, self belief & self care we can unlock the power within & realise that we are truly capable of achieving greatness.

Some people actually believe that success is a function of luck, this is why we see a lot of people who go about doing what they see other successful people doing, hoping they get lucky and become as successful as the other successful person, it is just like in gambling where if you find a gambler play a particular game and won big, you immediately feel the impulse to play exactly that same game hoping to get lucky and win big just like the other gambler won.

Unfortunately, success is actually not a function of luck, but a result that comes from deliberate act, hard and smart work and so on, not anyone who wishes to be successful becomes successful, only those who wish it and work hard to achieve it becomes successful.

We are in crypto right now, some believe that those who are successful In crypto are lucky, but in real sense, it's not so, for deliberate action, taking risk and so on, is how most become successful in crypto, it's just like it's commonly said "take the risk and join the millionaires, or continue to play it safe and die trying".

What do you really want to say? Is this motivation? In my opinion, doing business is not as easy as what the motivators say. I think if you have a business idea, you can mention it starting from planning, possible profits and losses, target market, capital required, ROI, marketing strategy, risk management, employee management, etc.

I will read it with pleasure if you are willing to share your brilliant ideas. But if it's just "verything you need is within you", that's the most absurd sentence I found today and it means nothing to me

Why do I feel that you are trying to talk about the law of scarcity and demand, which says that when the desirables are not available,then you have to make what is available the desirable. Sometimes we might actually have big dreams to archive a particular goal, but at that moment, things we needed in order to archive such a goal may not be available. In such a case, the person might be left with things that he or she never really had plans for; it may just seem like a temporary aid at that moment. It's not a permanent solution for that person. 

@OP, it's not always the case that everything we need is always available. Due to the high population, high demand, and some other facts, we don't usually get everything we need at all times. Sometimes too, what you need may be available for you to get, but you may not really have the finance at that moment to even get it. Success doesn't just come very easily. 

Success comes after so many trials and failures. As a fact, there is no one who will tell their success story without talking a little or a lot about how they also experienced failures and difficulties at some point. There are some challenges you may even face in your business, and you can feel that you are doing the wrong thing, but if you get consistent and learn from your hard times, it will make you strong enough to achieve success. 

If everything people needed was actually available for them the way they planned it in their hearts, then there would have been so many more successful people than we already had. 

Well said, never go for something big while you are not big enough to handle that thing, take small steps, diversify yourself means even if you want to cross lane do it by managing the risk, diversify your portfolio, take small steps by starting with small, never left your previous source of income until you get something to hold onto another business. All-rounders are not the successful ones, except for a few (the lucky ones) you have to focus on one thing at a time.

I understand this but still want to be an all-rounder to impress other people, the big factor urging people to become an all-rounder is social media, because we see different types of characters there and want to become all of them. This is not good and the first thing we have to understand is, not everything is real on social media that you should follow at all cost. So, be yourself, get some skill you love, if the current one is not the one you love then drop it and find some other, because you have time.

OP reminds me of some motivational speakers who come up with so many success strategies, meanwhile they are not even successful , just kidding. However, I think you have a point that we have great gifts and abilities that we can use to succeed. These abilities are dormant because we have not put them to work or tried to do what we think we can.

Copying other people's business or skills is one of the reasons why people fail. It is common to see people establish a business because they see that someone else is succeeding in it. Immediately one persons starts a new business within a few months multiple people have established the same business. You cannot be successful by engaging in a rampant business. We should learn to be creative and innovative if we want to run a successful venture.

It is only people who are greedy or discontent that would want to do everything they see others do. If you are good in just one business people will patronize you. It is not bad to diversify into other businesses but it should be done after a comprehensive analysis and projections. Just be the best you can and have good customer relations, with hard work and dedication, your business will flourish.

First step is to know yourself, second step is to change into that being you wish to be.
Why do you think lottery winners seldom keep or create more wealth?
Because they are not ready.

I agree with some of your points, mate. While it's true that we possess certain qualities within ourselves that contribute to success, it's equally important to acknowledge that we often need to seek knowledge and insights from others to truly excel in life. No one exists in isolation. we all depend on the wisdom, guidance, and support of those around us.You may believe that you have the drive and ambition necessary for success, including a hunger for knowledge, a desire for wealth, and a commitment to achieving your goals consistently. Well, you should  to recognize that success is not solely a solitary pursuit.It often involves collaborating with others, learning from their experiences, and leveraging their expertise to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.

Regarding your second point, I must express my reservations about the notion of shutting down a business entirely in pursuit of greater success. While it may seem tempting to focus solely on one venture, the reality is that success often stems from diversification and adaptability.
Many accomplished individuals you see today are not only entrepreneurs but also investors in various enterprises. They understand the value of exploring different avenues and supporting the endeavors of others.

while self reliance seems to be a nice idea most times, it's better to remain open to the contributions and support of others on the journey toward success. Collaboration, mentorship, and collective effort often pave the way for greater achievements in life.

Everything you need is actually not within you, sometime you need to cross other people's lane in order to become successful. The path to success is not fixed and this is the reason you should not limit yourself to your own ideas. Try out what others are doing and it might probably work better for you. You really don't need to go 360 degrees but you don't also stay stagnant waiting for opportunities to come by, you look for it and grab it. It might come through someone or self realized. By the way, success depends on your mindset and believe. It doesn't just happen like that, you must work hard for it and show determination.

You don't really need to go the 360 degrees to be successful in life for everything you need is just within you.its not until you also do the same business the next successful person is doing before you gain financial freedom.the part way to success is not fixed you could discover yours.

Some persons close their long term built businesses to sought for a bigger one and end up losing both instead of making the one they are well acquainted with larger and better.
Stop crossing other people's lane and stop looking outwardly for everything we ever needed is just within.
Opportunities are all around us but it's left for us to see it as an opportunity and make use of it. One good step that is proportional to one good opportunity could lift one to a greater height. just look around, the solutions to your problems are just lying by the corner.
