I want to be Successful, but I don’t know how?
just about having…
-
More Money
-
Bigger Toys
-
Better Things
It’s Deeper than that!
We all have our own vision / definition of what success means to us personally.
So, the question first comes down to…
What do you define as Success?
I would like to add to that cliché…
If “Life is a journey”, filled with its Ups and Downs / Successes and Failures, that would mean
=
We are continually evolving, changing and (hopefully) growing
The questions then become:
-
Have you attained everything you will ever attain?
-
Have you achieved everything that you hoped to achieve?
-
Have you traveled everywhere you have wanted to visit?
-
Have you finished everything you wanted to complete?
-
Have you met everyone you would have liked to?
I’m willing to bet that your answer to most of these questions is a BIG“No”!
(Knowledge +Awareness) + Action = Wisdom
No matter how much you…
Achieve, Accomplish, and Acquire
…there’s always MORE to learn!
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”
– Winston Churchill
This matters because, far too many people put off what really matters to them, in pursuit of a set goal, they’ll worry about the things that really matter to them once they reach their set destination.
If life is a journey, (and I believe it is) we need to remember:
-
Enjoy the moments along the way
-
Move toward what matter to you
-
Know what success is to you; personally
Below are different forms of Success
What are the things that matter most to you?
-
Material – Money, Cars, Holidays, Jewelry
-
Emotional – Relationships, Self-esteem, Contentment
-
Intellectual – Learning, Understanding, Challenging
-
Spiritual – Sense of Purpose, Belonging, Reason
-
Physical – Health, Fitness, Vitality, Appearance
-
Commercial – Enterprise growth, Profit, Reputation
-
Evangelical – Influencing others, promoting your ideals
-
Environmental – Home, Garden, Saving the Planet
-
Time – Longevity, Time Management
-
Collective – Teamwork, Comradery
“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”
– Theodore Isaac Rubin
I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life on my way to my version of Success.
I am thankful for the ability to get up in the morning with a chance to gain more knowledge and learn more as I attain more ‘Success’.
As long as I am still Growing, Learning and Transforming into more of who I want to be, I am Successful!
May we ALL continue to Fail Forward in our own unique way!
