What is Success?
What does it really mean to be successful? Does it mean having a high-paying job? Is it about building a successful business? Does it mean having a happy family?
These are some of the questions people often ask about the meaning of success…
And what about personal success?
Do you need to be married? Do you need to have children? Does success means a happy retirement? Is there such a thing as a “successful single person”?
Do you constantly thinking about success and does it make you feel nervous and a little worried about it. It can be a constant struggle for many people just thinking about success.
When we start thinking about it too much, it can make some of us feel a little over-whelm and drain some of your energy.
It’s okay to think about success. It’s natural, and even necessary to know what it means to be successful.
That doesn’t mean you need to be over-whelmed by the meaning of success. You can have a healthy respect for it and still have a successful life.
So, how do you know if you’re on the right track to be successful?
Here are five ways to help you gauge your own level of success:
Set Good Goals – Setting Good goals is a way to be specific and measurable- A goal has to have specific criteria to be considered a goal. For example, you may have a goal to save $5,000 for a down payment on a new car, but that goal is not specific enough. Instead, you should set a goal to save $300 per month. That goal is specific and measurable, allowing you to see exactly how much you’re saving.
Make Time for the Important Things – Success comes from making time for the important things in life. Whether it’s reading for an hour each day, cooking a healthy meal each night for you or your family, or taking a walk with your best friend every week, it’s important to make time for the things that matter most.
The quality of your life is based on how you spend your time. If you make time for the important things in your life, instead of adding more things into your life that’s not important, you’ll be able to relax more and have a more fulfilling life.
I believe the more time you spend doing the important things in your life, the more successful you’ll be.
Be Happy and Grateful – It’s been said that success doesn’t come from feeling happy or grateful, but actually having both feelings at the right level. Yes, you have to have a healthy respect for success, but you also have to have happiness and gratitude to have a successful life.
If you have to try too hard to be happy and grateful, you going to feel like a fake, and that will take away from your success. Being able to smile at strangers, giving thanks for the little things, and not worrying so much about being perfect is what you should be trying to do.
The more happy and grateful you are, the more successful you’ll be.
Protect Your Health – Part of being successful is about protecting your health. If you’re not feeling good in any way, physically or mentally, it’s going to be hard to be successful.
That could mean eating bad food, not sleeping enough, or spending too much time stressed out.
You must learn how to protect your health by making sure you’re eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and working off your stress with some type of activities.
Don’t Rely on Success to Feel Food -The last thing you want to do is rely on success to make you happy. You have to find other ways to feel good. That could be by spending time with friends, doing volunteer work, exercising, or taking a class.
If you rely too much on feeling successful, you’ll find yourself in a constant state of disappointment. Instead, find other ways to feel good, such as taking an art class, spending time with family and friends, or doing some volunteer work.
Having a healthy balance will help you stay happy and successful rather than constantly disappointed with yourself.
The meaning of success is something that can be debated and discuss without coming to an agreement.
Success is a growth process that requires commitment, perseverance, and dedication.
However, as we continue to live and strive for success, we also must remember that success is not an end point but a journey.
