Everyone is striving to live the life of their dreams, and success seems to be an overwhelming desire in each and everyone of us, but the truth is, success or  greatness cannot be gotten on a platter of gold, a person has to gain an understanding of what he wants in life and what it would take to achieve it, some few points that I have come to discover that makes one the best at what he does are:

1. Purpose: discovery of purpose is key to living a meaningful life

2. Gifts and talents: understanding your uniqueness is key to excelling in life

3. Passion: you must cultivate and sustain passion, for your assignment, in order not to run out of motivation

4. Determination and hardwork: you must be resolute with a clear vision of what you want to be best in and keeping working towards it

5. Knowledge, wisdom and understanding: this three principles are joined together because of how they operate, you must seek knowledge and gain understanding and applying your heart to wisdom.
