“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal” Earl Nightingale.
This is the best definition by far at least in my humble opinion when it comes to this term or concept called success. In reality when you’re pursuing anything worth while, all it can be is a success. As success isn’t what you obtain but who you become and that’s the beauty of entrepreneurship it forces you to become more than what you are and just as the late great Jim Rohn says you can have more that what you have because you can become more than what you are.
Nowadays we equate success to the acquiring of wealth and things when I’m essence these things don’t make you successful they are rather buy products of such success. This is a great misconception as it mislead people the youth In particular into pursuing often the wrong career fields and business endeavors got what’s perceived to be success (money) just to find out thats not where their heart is and end up hating it.
True success within. We become successful when we become a successful person and we do that by having good character. Good character, whit ourselves good character with our relationships, good character when it comes to goal setting etc. Things like being a person of your word, being punctual, truthful, honest, hardworking, reliable, resourceful, respectful, having good manners and etiquette and other than that. These are the things that actually makes one successful, the money usually follows. A great quote I like is “If you work for the rewards you won’t do good work, but if you do good work then the rewards will come…”
So in all success is something you become not something you obtain from the material world those things follow success and not the other way around. So til next time, good buy sells itself…#peace
