What is Success?Success_montage

How do you measure or compare success? If you are successful by most measures, you will be different from the norm. Our society frowns on people who appear different from the norm.

Is that why success principles are not taught I schools, colleges or universities? Maybe there was a time when passing exams meant success. Today there are many highly qualified people who have little success to show for it and a significant number of successful people who have few qualifications.

Another noticeable trend is that the role models for many young people are celebrities! We may ask what has celebrity to do with success?
 
Inevitably we come to the conclusion that each person needs to define what would constitute success for them! Once they have done that, then it becomes possible to map out a route to get there?
 
What is the difference between people who are generally held to be successful and those who are not?
 
Successful people mostly agree it can only be the way they think. Our thinking about success (and many other things) is partly the result of our upbringing and experiences. We can’t just blame our parents for our thinking because we have the power in adulthood to change ourselves.

So how do we change our thinking?

Only by exposing ourselves to the thinking and experiences of people who have achieved some measure of success! Generally we can only do this by reading what those successful people have written about they have learned on their journey.
 

Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too!
Big ideas and plans are often easier - certainly no more difficult – than small ideas and small plans.

The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can't do.

We must accept life for what it actually is - a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.
