Each day we are dreaming about our goals . Each day we are moving forward , step closer to be success . Sometimes we are so focused on oue objectives that we don't have time to think why we desire success . What is the reason ? Do we really need it ? Is it coming from the conscious or unconscious part of our mind ?

I have a simple exercise for you , my friend . Don,t worry , it doesn't require you to move away from screen and it will take no more than few minutes . Just relax and focus thoughts on your latest success you have achieved . It doesn't have to be something really big and outstanding . A small success that you have recently experienced is absolutely enough . Ok ,got it ?

Imagine that achieving success is like a journey , sometimes it may be quiet easy , sometimes really tough , can be also short or very long . Let's figure out why you took this journey and what helped you to accomplish it .

Jump in your memories to the point where your journey began . Recall feelings and emotions connected to this moment . What was the reason you decided to set yourself this goal ? How did you take your first step? While moving your thoughts on the path toward your goal , try to identify factors that motivated you and increased your energy to go forward .Look also for those who obstructed your journey . How did you cope with them ? Finally , arrive to your destination point . What did you feel when you succeed ? Were you truly happy or maybe disappointed as the goal didn't bring you satisfaction and fulfillment .

Don't worry if above questions was difficult for you . To help you answering them , I share with you six main reasons , which I identify why we want to achive success .

1 . We want to achieve success because it is part of our life plans .

Success is strongly related with our life plans . We can distinguish certain milestones in our plans . like graduating , getting a desired job , starting own business or new relationship . Achieving these milestones are successes for us . Each of these goals brings us positive feelings and emotions because we know that our life plans are fulfilling and that we are making visible progress .

2 . We want the output related with certain success .

In many cases we want to experience benefits related with the achievements of a certain goal . In our minds , we have a strong association between these benefits and a state when we are successful . This desirable and enjoyable .

3 . We love the taste of winning .

Achieving success is a very positive experience also because it adds value to us and pumps our egos . Achieving success is like personal victory . People love winning . It is very natural . When two children play a game , each of them want to win . Its not important if there any material prize . They don't need any additional purposes . It is deep in our nature that we love taste of winning .

4 . We need stimulation .

Knowing that there is a purpose , a goal we want to achieve . It stimulates us to act . The mored challenging goal , the stronger success feeling is related to it . This way , we can get a better motivation to achieve bigger goals and we get additional stimulus to self-improve , grow personally and learn to handle challenging goal .

5 . We want to compensate lacks and failures from the past .

We all make mistakes . Failures are definitely not nice , but they are unavoidable in our lives and they should always provide valuable feedback .They also raise a strong force that will push us toward further goals . We lost , but in the end we want to win . This victory , preceded by many failures , can compensate all previous unpleasant experiences . This pattern is very often responsible for a reason why we want to achieve success .

6 .We find success as a solution for our problems .

Enjoying success is a very positive experience .It can weaken influence of other , bad experiences in our life .We often find it easier to act in one direction , when we expect success , while we avoid handling different , unpleasant problems  in our life . What is important is that we are often unaware of this mechanism as it mostly works on unconscious level .

Now , one more time ask yourself questions from the first part of this article . Is it easier now to answer them and identify your reasons ?

I'm sure you have just achieved higher level of consciousness , as far as achieving success is concerned .
