Friends, let us understand first: The Difference between Being a Success and a Successful Life

 

I was reading an article the other day about a famous athlete and one of his teammates made a comment that I found interesting. He said, off the record of course, that his famous teammate would have a funeral so small that it could be held in a fitting room.

Now, most people would consider this athlete “successful.” He is rich beyond anyone’s imagination. He has and will set world records. He will undoubtedly be elected into his Hall of Fame, most likely on the first ballot.

But he is not a successful human being. It is common knowledge that he is universally disliked.

This got me to thinking. I am attending two funerals this week. One is the funeral of a man who was “successful” in the eyes of the world. That is, he made a lot of money. But he wasn’t a terribly successful human being. He was estranged from his oldest son and hadn’t spoken with him in years. He was a borderline alcoholic. There were other storms in his life. About50 people will attend.

The other funeral is for a man who was not “successful” in the eyes of the world. You would have never given him a second look had you seen him in the store. He wasn’t wealthy. He was not high-profile. Yet he was quite a successful human being. People were encouraged and built up by this man. People were better because he graced their lives, even in small ways. His funeral will have about200 people there, paying their last respects. He would have never guessed there would be that many, yet after he died, people came out of the woodwork to speak highly of him.

We have to get clear on what succeeding means to you!

If the concept of being personally successful sounds good to you, take the first step today. Discover your personal definition of success and write it down. I promise that you will feel more successful immediately. Here’s the main point to take away from this article: Success is a multifaceted, personal concept. By defining what that concept represents to you personally, and by taking the time to write it down, you will automatically move your life in that direction.

Thanks

Good Day!!!

Success is achieving the purposes, aims & objectives you made in your life and your personal satisfaction about them.

My motive to success is to adapt, improvise, overcome. To succeeded apart from confidence these are required.

  • Adapt: one has to get adjusted to the environment he is put into.
  • Improvise: you have to develop new skill or experience and putting discipline through challenges.
  • Overcome : one must have the courage and stable mind to overcome all the challenges and failure.

Like some wise man said " successful man never quits once the goal is achieved but prepares a new on and makes it his habit" I believe without these three key terms success remains a dream. !
