Everyone desires success in one form or another. Some just daydream about it, while others do something to achieve it. But what is success to you?
WHAT SUCCESS IS NOT?
Most people think success is something or height to attain. They think success is getting good grades at school, getting the job they wanted, winning a large sum of money, seeing their business prospering or being famous. Some seek success in money or material possessions, and others seek it in inner peace and strength. Some think it is a goal that one must work hard to achieve while others think it is the key to ones happiness.
WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Most people go round the world with wrong ideologies of what true success is. If your definition of success falls amongst the above listed, then you are far from the true meaning of success
Success is
1. Impacting the world around you with the investment of your personality.
2. Making others aspire to your inspiration.
3. Making the world around you better than you met it.
If you take a closer look at the three definitions listed above, you will observe that success is a process not a destination. It is interesting to analyze and understand what these things are especially early in life; this is because it is easy to waste much time doing things that are not worthwhile. Success has a lot to do with ones values… The things you hold dear in life which gives you inspiration therefore inspiring others with. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. There is nothing so unprofitable as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. You can also deduce from the definitions above that success is constancy to purpose, that is, finding happiness in purpose and achieving your set goals. Although success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success.
Success has a lot to do with brevity and courage. Show me a courageous man and I’ll tell you a man who is a success. Success is nothing no matter how wealthy you are until you are uniquely connected to the universe. When your conscience, compassion and empathy extends to all; when you have nothing to take from the world but only to give, when you are completely fulfilled. It is a combination of wisdom, influence and fulfillment; being able to give from your abundance by spreading love, inspiration, knowledge and motivation. Success is maximizing your God-given potentials. It is in doing the best you can in every task or plan, with what you have, where you are, regardless of the circumstances. Success is service.
HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.
Most people think you need hardwork to achieve success but this is not true. Infact, you have to learn to avoid work to be successful. Work can be defined this way: if you would rather be doing something else, then you are working! You can avoid working by living the things you do. When you love the things you do, it is the golden key to being successful. This is the secret to working less, yet, accomplishing much more. People who work hard hardly have the inclination to find the easier way. To find the easier solution, you must be alert for it.
Also you need to know what you are aiming at else, you would succeed at the wrong thing. One key to success is not working about the outcome, work towards outdoing your past and never give up way too quickly. Think on how you should try on getting it right the first time, and out do it the next time. Do things like it depends on you alone to do them.
Success is making sure you don’t miss the ultimate issues by focusing on the temporary ones.
Success is not only something spectacular, it manifests also in small things of daily life and you can enjoy it many times every day. Whatever your desire or goal may be, there are some inner abilities which are required for its achievement:
• The ability to decide what you want to achieve
• Passion and a strong desire
• Ability to visualize
• Concentration
• Courage
• Self discipline
• Persistence.
If any man is happy in his life, it means he is successful in the world! Decide today not to waste another day in your life. Success is who you are!
