For a term as subjective as ‘Success’, it is often hard to describe and put in a particular set of words to define it. Success might mean different to different people concerning different aspirations. And, indeed, it is all about how we perceive it and take it in our lives. On similar grounds, it is important that we have our own parameters about how, as an individual, we define success personally. This can be reflective of what perceptions and mindset we hold towards the life we have been blessed with.
Success is all about becoming a better “you”.
It is all about making progress and becoming better at whatever you chose to do with the passage of time. Success need not be lavish and flaunting, they can be as small as working to have a good habit. It could be a single day you think and begin to go jogging or plan to begin with attending swimming lessons. It could be a day you think to start preparing for some competitive exam and ultimately go on in achieving your smaller targets for each day bit by bit.
Starting and achieving bit by bit
You can plan to do a number of things you never thought you could excel in. But, you take the first step and do not stop until you are in a better position. Who knows one day you began running and found the motivation to appear for a marathon where you actually win? So, I believe that there is a strong need for addressing what “Success” means to each one of us at our personal level.
Bringing better outcomes must be the objective
One should be concentrated on bringing good results. It need not be a big recognition, per se, but something that meant a lot to you and that drove you into excelling in that goal. The aim should be about bringing betterment and satisfaction to your own mind and soul. How do we put ourselves on the journey to success?
Another defining factor of our success is the way we make situations for ourselves, how much effort and striving we put & how we position ourselves on the journey of growth. Anyone can aim and want to have success, but what matters is our own labor and toil into attaining and getting up to that position that we planned for ourselves.Reaching the outcomes
Success is what you believe and are passionate about. You cannot just sit back, you have to be upright and work towards your goal. And ultimately, even if you end up doing at least a bit of it and bring success in it by becoming better every day, then that is enough. You need to stay honest about your efforts and make sure you never dwindle in your path.
Not the Destination, But the Journey
Someone has rightly said that one must not be worried about the journey but enjoy the destination. Indeed, that is a very true statement and it defines the term to a great extent. Because success is not a destination that we plan to reach. Most people believe that after becoming successful, we have done our part. But, that is not how it is.
Success is a journey where you want to achieve more after you have achieved some. The want and passion must never die or else it will lead to lesser scope for betterment. Betterment is the core of human learning and it must never come to a saturation point.
We can come to that level by following some slow and gradual steps. It might not be necessary for you to attain everything at once. Therefore, be patient and never stop striving. Because, whatever you truly believe in and you end up doing even some part of it, that is Success!!
