What is Success?  What does it take in our everyday lives to be successful? By definition success is the attainment or realization of an established goal . Success is different for each person, for some an annual income of $30,000 would be a success, for another it might be earning $130,000. Success for some it is healing years of dysfunctional relationships, for others it is finding your life partner and soul mate. Perhaps its to run that marathon or lose that 20 lbs that you have partially lost and gained again for the past 15 years.

You and I need to figure out what Success will look like in our lives, and that will take a heck of a lot of thinking. This is a problem that has plagued humans for a long time as evident from a quote by Henry Ford-” Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.” Your ability over all other creatures on Earth is the ability to think and reason. You must use your power to think and reason to figure out a few things, first you need to get.

A Clarity of Values: What do you value most? love, freedom, patriotism, tolerance, justice. We must each establish our values and the priority that these values hold in our lives. this is what will guide you.

Goals: Once you have your values in order, you need to establish goals that are in line with your values.

Passion: When you have your goals developed around your core values, then and only then, you have to make sure you have passion for your goals. Passion is the driving force that will set you apart from others, it is the energy of desire that will fuel your acompliments.

Perseverance: After you have a clarity of values and you have goals established that you have passion for, then you need perseverance, this is the quality that will keep you going even when you don’t want to, When you get tired and discouraged remember what Winston Churchhill said ” Never, Never, Never, Give Up.”
