WHAT IS SUCCESS? It was explained to me that Success is not money or things but an outcome. One person can only recognize your success, you. Some say that success is self-realized. Frank Lloyd Wright said "I know the price of Success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen." My definition of the ultimate successful person would have there God look down on them and "You are the model person that I
tried to create and you lived your life in a way that made me proud to be your make. For this I will let you change any thing you like about your life. It could be a new house or car, better golf handy cap or Nice expensive watch "The ultimate Successful person would say "No Thanks God, because every this is OK in my life."
Your definition of personal success paves the road for creating your goals, your habits, your behaviors. It lays the foundation upon which you build your life. Therefore, spending time deciding what you value, and how you will measure its achievement, is very worthwhile. Then you will know when you are being successful and have something to celebrate.
Here's a secret: Take the time to write down the things that are valuable to you, the things that make life worthwhile for you. Writing them down makes them much more concrete. If you are the person who reads self-help books, comes to the end of each chapter where the author requests that you write out an exercise, and does not do it because "you know what you think"--change that! There is great value in keeping a journal of what is important to you, what you think about, what you want, what your goals are, how you plan to achieve them and other blueprints for your personal success. It is always a strength to work from clarity of purpose.
