The Journey to Success

Some people seem to be born with an innate sense of what they want to achieve in life, or they become aware of it when they are young. In many ways, they are very fortunate because with their destiny in mind, they have effectively already taken the first step towards success i.e. finding their own vocation or calling – their life-purpose. So they can go straight to the next step which, of course, is planning the route.

It seems that many successful people had this inner knowledge early on in life. As an example, consider the story of Ian Callum which was the subject of a short BBC film. From the age of just three years old, he says, he knew he wanted to design things, and as he got a little older, he realised it was cars that he wanted to design. At fourteen years old, he wrote a letter to the head of design at Jaguar Cars. He got a reply that provided advice on how to become a designer. It recommended subjects he would need to study and qualifications he should obtain. So he allowed that advice to become his blueprint for success, and eventually, he actually managed to become the head of design at Jaguar Cars.

Ian’s is an amazing story that shows how really successful people often have that sense of vocation very early in life, and it is by no means an isolated example of the phenomenon. As a child, I remember watching the 1963 F.A. Cup Final between Manchester United and Leicester City, which United won by three goals to one. During the game, the commentator, Kenneth Wolstenholme, mentioned something that had been written on the Manchester United winger, David Herd’s school report by his Headmaster.

“David will never earn a living playing football.”

Not only did David Herd prove his Headmaster to be completely wrong, he actually scored two of the three goals that won the cup for United that day.

Here’s another example.

As with many successful bands, it began with two kids playing guitar together as often as they possibly could. On one occasion, just before they were about to sit their final exams, the two youngsters were found playing guitar at school, when they were supposed to have been studying.

The teacher angrily admonished them, “if you two don’t start getting your act together, you are going to be in dire straits!” It turned out that they thought that would be a good name for their new band – you might have heard of them.

For people who never had that degree of clarity or perhaps, simply had no idea what they wanted to do with their lives at the beginning of their journey, the route to success is usually more circuitous. But such people can still manage to find success once they have identified their life-purpose.

Here are a few examples of people who took a little time to discover their true passion:

Leonard Cohen struggled as a folk performer until he made the decision to start performing his own songs.
