Success is a tricky word. It's one that everyone knows what they think it means, but only few know what it actually means. It's a funny thing too because success doesn't have anything to do with money; in fact, if you're successful on your own terms and not on the terms of others then you might be able to find fulfillment in life even without income.
The definition of success is elusive and for good reason: most people just give up when they're too discouraged by all the failures they have endured. The simple fact is that most people can't define success because they don't know what it means.
The first common definition is the one that says that if you have a job then you are successful. In this case, having a job is just one of the many factors that make up your success and there are other components like income, education, relationships and health. There are so many factors to take into account before deciding whether someone is successful or not.
Another common definition of success is that it's all about getting as much money as you can. In this case, success is defined by your income and nothing else. But sometimes people disagree and say that if you have money, then you are successful even if the quality of your life isn't good because you have no education, are single or aren't happy in any relationship you have.
Some people are just happy to have a job, but others want to be well paid for what they do. In this case, success is always defined by the amount of money that you're paid and nothing else. People who are happy with the financial aspect of their life might also have other concerns like their career options.
It's not uncommon for someone who has reached success in a certain area of life define success based on that specific factor alone.
For instance, if you're a business executive then you can be successful based on the amount of sales and profit your company earns. You don't need to be married or have a lot of friends in order to be considered successful. Conversely, if you have many people around you and yet no one knows who you are and what you do, then success is a bit more complicated.
Some people might think that success is all about popularity and having many friends or family around them. Most often than not, people who think like this will say that they are successful even if they are not earning much money. And yet, others might think that if you have a lot of friends and are well-liked by everyone around you then you're actually quite unsuccessful.
It's true that having friends and family is an important factor in life, but it's not the most important one and it doesn't mean that you're successful even if you don't have any money and your career isn't going anywhere. There are other factors like your happiness, health and sense of fulfillment that can enlighten your life.
If you're a business executive, then you're just as successful as an artist in the eyes of other people; it all depends on how you define success for yourself and on your goals. If your company is doing well, then you might consider yourself successful even if it's not going well in another part of your life.
How you define success is a very personal thing and it doesn't depend on what other people say. What a lot of people don't realize is that they define success too based on how their family and friends define it for them. Sometimes, other people's definitions of success don't always coincide with your own.
For instance, some families only care about money and if you're poor then you're not considered successful by them. Others might think that being well-liked by other people is the most important factor and if you're not, then they see you as unsuccessful.
If you have a lot of fans but don't have any money or education, then you might think that you're successful. On the other hand, if you're earning a lot of money but no one likes you, then success probably doesn't exist for you. It's all about personal definition and how you measure success.
The bottom line is that you have to set your own goals and define success for yourself. If you're earning a lot of money, then that makes you successful in the eyes of some people, but if you're not happy with your life, then who cares? You should look at other aspects like happiness, health and fulfillment before deciding whether or not someone is successful.
Try to avoid defining yourself based on other people's opinions. In the end, you should do whatever you want to do and define success based on what you want. Once you've decided what your definition of success is, try to make it a reality by focusing on your objective.
Just remember that everyone has a different definition of success and that's why most people go through life without ever actually getting it. When you know what your definition of success is, stop worrying about other people's opinions and decide whether or not you have the qualities to achieve it.
Success Is About Taking Care of Yourself
Success is so much more than all the money you have in your bank account. Success is about being happy, being healthy and most of all, taking care of yourself. It's no secret that many people are running around and living their lives for no other reason than to be successful. They work extremely hard and exhaust themselves to reach their goals.
However, many people don't consider these factors as important as earning money. Don't get me wrong, earning money is a huge factor in attracting success to you, but it can only take you so far. It's very important that you make sure that your body is healthy and that you're happy and content with your life.
This is why you should always be taking care of yourself first. You're the only one that can take care of you and if you don't take care of your body, then there's no way that anyone else will. If you constantly put yourself under pressure by working long hours, then sooner or later you'll start feeling lethargic and tired. This will get in the way of reaching your goals and might even cost you a lot of money in the end.
Not taking good care of yourself can turn you into a very stressed person and this is something that could affect your work. Not only will you be feeling unhappy in life, but your mental health could also suffer and you could end up making a lot of mistakes at work. This is why it's important to see success as a state of mind as well as money and material things.
Another thing that you should think about when it comes to success is being happy with what you have. Many people will go out and buy a new car or house just to show the world that they have "made it". But what happens when you have a huge amount of money? You'll want even more, so you go and buy even more things. This is the problem with being materialistic.
The truth is that success isn't about having piles of cash in the bank, it's about being happy with what you've got. If you can be happy with nothing, then you'll still be happy with everything in your life.
