You Decide What Success Is
Exactly what is your idea of success? First we need to define what is meant by the idea of success. Success is having achieved that which you determine you will do! Did you catch the use of the word you?
YOU determine what success is for you, it is not based on any other measurement than your own. Your success is not determined by others and it is not dependent upon some materialistic measurement and, for some, success is measured by the journey itself.
Success to some may be material, such as money or a new home. To others it could be something egotistical, like the power and notoriety that comes with the position of CEO. Yet again for others it could be something emotional, such as finding love and commitment. Success for you could be altruistic, such as seeing children in third world countries healthy and safe. Success has no single universal identity, there is no single method to describe what success is, it means something different to every individual.
All successful people, however, do have one thing in common, and that is determination. To be a success, you must first determine to be so. You must decide for your self what it is you shall do with your life, then that seed leads to belief, then that leads to a goal and that leads to action.
Being successful is a process that starts with determination and belief. Notice that both of these begin in the mind, it’s important to be conscious of your path to success, and to prepare your mind, spirit and body for the success you seek. The path you choose is indeed your choice.
It is just not enough to be just another anonymous member of society, who lets others decide their fate, like a leaf blowing in the wind. To allow life to push you along like a stick in a stream; creates conflict, resentment, lost opportunities, and feelings of emptiness. You simply can not have a happy life without a clear notion of where you want to be and do.
If you do not have a goal in life you will constantly end up in situations that are not to your liking. Why? Because if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want in life, you get whatever is left over, being in one bad relationship after another, being in one bad job after another, and so on. You will resent your life and many of the people in it. You will miss many opportunities that could help you get to where you’re going faster. Without a dream you won’t take risks, you play it safe instead, you simply don’t recognize opportunities when they present themselves.
In truth, if you had only taken the time to dream, to imagine something for yourself and then went beyond dreaming and wanting it to determining and believing, you would be there now and would be enjoying your life.
It is you who must determine your life path, you who decide what is success for your self, and you who must take the actions to achieve the goals you set for your self. It’s never too late to start, as long as there is life there is hope.
You are the force behind your success.
So, open yourself to new possibilities, and to succeed in any way you desire, you can be anything at any time, anywhere, yes you can be what you will to be.
Be Blessed
