Success
Success is not about outshining all of the things around you, it’s about blossoming, like the average flower.
For many people success is associated with fame, riches and some even equate meaning of what life is to this word meaning.
A distinction has to be made first on what one has in their mind when they say success! Is it for money? Fame? Power, control? Happiness? Enjoyment? Doing good for others that you might learn something new from them? A sense of achievement or achievement itself that may or may not come with any kind of monetary benefit?
This post will try to explore success the way I see the term and talk about how I am striving for it in my life.
Definition of success
What does success mean to you? What is your definition of success? Is it a monetary reward? Fame? Power? Achievement? What if we define success as something more than this?
There are two kinds of success, one is the kind that you want and the other is the kind that you are meant to have.
The kind that you want is success that is based on your expectations. It’s the kind that is what you see others having and then you start to aspire for it.
For instance, I have a friend who wants to be a great artist and the type of success that he sees is the kind that is about the likes, comments and appreciation from people.
What is the formula for success?
It’s simple,
Doing what you love
Doing what you are good at
Having a passion
If you are in the process of doing what you love and are good at, you will naturally become successful in whatever you are doing.
People who are happy and are making money have one thing in common, they are doing what they love.
A great artist would be happy to create art, a great musician would be happy to make music, a great actor would be happy to act and so on.
When you are passionate about what you are doing, it’s like a natural process that will propel you to success.
You don’t need a degree.
Success is always doing your best.
The more you try, the more you improve. It is important to use any failure as motivation to try again.
It might not work the first time, though.
You should use any failure as motivation to try again. A good example of this is a YouTube video of a man trying to break a bicycle by bending a rim around his neck. Some of the bends he tried failed to break. However, the more he tried, the harder he bent and the more likely he was to break the rim. This is because he wasn’t using the first time as an excuse. The man eventually succeeded in bending the rim, and he was eventually able to break it. However, it didn’t end well for him. His efforts ultimately resulted in him being trapped with his neck wrung around the rim, and unable to breathe. I suppose an important lesson from this is that it can be easy to become discouraged when trying to do anything. Don’t allow that to happen.
