What is important for you to get success in your life?
Answers
There are so many definitions of success, as obviously ‘success’ means different things to different people. And furthermore, success in one field doesn’t necessarily negate complete failures in others. If you are a successful business person yet your family don’t know you and your relationships are cold and distant – are you truly a success? And what if you’re a tremendous giver, a person who cares and gives much to charity but your health suffers and you don’t have the vitality to do your work can you class yourself as successful?
One of the best `definitions os success can be be found in earl Nightingale’s seminal classic ‘The Strangest Secret’.
In it he defines success as ‘the gradual realisation of a worthy goal.’
Initially this definition may surprise people, as it did me, as it seems to put more emphasis on the ‘gradual realisation’ than the worthy goal.
And one key myth about success is that once you find it you’ll be happy. (Ultimately isn’t that why we all want to be successful?)
Often success driven people are driven by goals but I have personally learnt that much of life’s happiness, much of our feelings of fulfilment comes from the realisation that we are ‘walking the path’ rather than reaching our destination.
