WHAT DOES SUCCESS MEAN TO YOU?

December 6, 2007 - Thursday

I have been intrigued with the question "why are some people successful and others aren't?" my whole life. I don't mean the material kind. I mean, why do some people seem to always succeed at everything while others are so talented and intelligent but don't? What I've concluded is that success comes to those who are:


disciplined

focused

and have a strong desire to succeed


That sounds too simple right? Number 3 is the deal breaker. Many people say they don't care if they succeed and then they don't, but secretly I think we all care. Success is not at the expense of others, success is a personal journey in which you compare yourself to yourself. You set the goals that are meaningful to you and then you make those goals a priority, you stay focused and you work at it as much as you have to, to make it happen. Don't worry about what is hard for you is easy for someone else. The only thing that really matters is how badly do you want this thing? If you don't want it that much then move onto something else
