In life, obsession can be viewed as a negative or a positive thing. Really just depends on the context and the situation. When it comes to your success and fulfilling your dreams, in my opinion, obsession is everything! When directed in a very constructive and methodical way, it can take you from 0-60 in no time. Also, in this manor, also gives you that tunnel vision that can take you to your end goal.

When obstacles appear, tunnel vision obsession can bust past anything. Especially in this age, there are a lot options and shiny objects to throw you off your course. The accessibility to a ton of applications, games, social media and so much more in the virtual world is available within moments. In this digital age, having that tunnel vision and that lazer focus when accomplishing objectives on hand can be the difference between immense success and colossal failure. Let's look at all successful people in any field on this planet. People that have built successful careers, businesses that became empires, athletes that win championships have this element of obsession. It is the one intangible, when initiated and implemented, can really move you into realms within your vision. I don't think Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com ever could've envisioned what he has now 20 or 30 years ago! But, when you are dead on focused, things just come into fruition. It is the work ethic, the obsession behind the vision which can make mere mortals into legends.

Without obsession, the road to success can be awfully curvy, with a ton of peaks and valleys, and dead ends. I feel as if in today's world a lot of people are just getting their feet wet. They are trying this, they are trying that. Then once they try it, and don't get that instant fast food success, all of a sudden they are a failure. If that individual isn't a failure, then they are blaming it on someone else, or something else.

So, the question here now is; when involved in a new endeavor, how do you get to being obsessed? The answer here is the willingness to push yourself into being obsessed. You have really got to believe in what you are doing! This can come from other successful examples you can emulate and look up to. Some of it can be that "gut" feeling, "hey, this is it!" and "I can make this happen." I also believe community, forums, groups and masterminds really can push you and help you to become obsessed about your endeavors.

This is why i think this community atmosphere that has been developed here at Wealthy Affiliate is just everything. The idea first of all to make this community is nothing short of brilliant. But seeing, all these people engage and having real life examples of success is why I believe if you were to become "obsessed" or even "dedicated" one can really achieve anything in the affiliate space.

I am all in. It's time to get to work and make those aspirations come into reality.

I will see you all at the top!

Great post, Nitin. I completely agree with you.

Your post covered two very important ideas. I enjoyed reading how obsession or a focused, driven mind set is crucial for success.
The second important point which I feel is equally, if not more important refers to how we as a culture have this need for instant gratification...the "instant fast food success"...the "I want success and I want it now" mentality and when we don't receive success "now" well... we don't feel like we have succeeded at all.

Thank you for the friendly reminder that both patience and determination are important ingredients for success!
