It's through challenges that successful people set ambitious goals to be achieved. It's through challenges that successful people find opportunities. They are challenge-makers.

They do not confuse it with the end but rather consider it as a means to achieve and realize this mission. They have a direction and a clear way how to use it because they have a defined positive mission in life. Successful people have a framed reason to achieve money, power, and fame. This is precisely what makes their search for accomplishment so meaningful and straightforward. They know where they want to go in every single way (not just the professional one) and they realize this is good for themselves and others. They have invested time in finding and defining this personal mission. Successful people have a positive mission in life.
