Started out every day, now it’s twice a week, but I’m still helping people, and that makes me feel good. In the meantime, I have been successful with the blog by working quite a bit. And I am in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I’m financially successful, but not personally successful. Lately, I’ve been working at a job which is a good job, and it pays the bills, but I keep getting the feeling that it isn’t really what I personally need to do. I define success as helping people, which this blog does from time to time. Somewhere between lies the best path for you. It doesn’t have to mean 60 hour weeks until you have a stroke or heart attack. Success is partly motivation and partly action. You can be successful financially, a successful member of a family, have a successful business and be successful in helping others, right? But you are always working towards it, and if you do it correctly, it’s rarely work. Success will come in as many forms as you have definitions. ![]() Later, you might look towards helping others or starting a family. First you want to make money for security and for toys. Your definition of of it will likely change over time. You’ll probably find something else to do, right? So working towards success is what you will continue to do for the rest of your life. ![]() What do you do once you have ‘arrived’ whatever that means to you? Take a moment and let that roll around in your head. I believe that it is a journey, not a destination. If you don’t know what success means to you, I would suggest you take a little time and think about it. This is why, in my opinion, it is very important to work towards success, however you define the word. You can do better than that, you can find things you do, and probably are fairly good at it too. Wouldn’t that be a good definition of personal success and happy living? Not everything you want to do will pay the bills, so sometimes you have to have a job to be able to be successful elsewhere in your life.īut in no case are you successful when all you do is rest, unless you set your sights really low. Doing something you love to do, and never thinking of it as work. What I have found is that real success comes when you are doing something you love. If you really hate the word ‘work’ just use something else, something which inspires you. ![]() While that term usually has negative connotations, I use it in place of the word effort or taking action. Who would object to a vacation lasting several months? But then what?īack to work. This brings up the question of what, exactly, is success to you? How do you define it? What would success look like to you? If it involves getting to a point where you sit or rest for the rest of your life, is that really success? Why is working towards success important? Objects in motion compared to objects at rest. Success may sleep from time to time, but it rarely rests. They might even change it up and try something new.īut you won’t find them resting for very long. Whether it’s Hollywood stars, business tycoons or famous authors, they go back to it, whatever their ‘it’ may be. The act of achieving success gives one the chance to relax and take it easy.īut how true is that, really? How many ‘successful’ people do you see resting? They might take a fantastic, and long, vacation from time to time, but then what? When we think of successful people, we often think of their lives of leisure. How do you define it in all the different parts of your life? Have you written yours down yet?
