How do you know when you are successful?
(Go ahead and think about that please…)
————————————
(No - I mean REALLY think about it!)
————————————
I think all of us want to be successful. In fact, it is one of the most common questions coaching
clients ask me:
“How can I be more successful at ____?”
Here is the challenge as I see it.
Who gets to define success?
If you live in ‘normal’ society, success is usually defined for you as having stuff. Money, cars, houses, boats, planes, even friends - all that stuff! It could also include a great career (which usually means making enough money to have all that stuff!)
—————————-
And What Is Wrong With That??
—————————-
The problem with this is you may not want all that stuff! You might be a person who not only does not want all that stuff, your calling might even mean that stuff hurts you!
Each of us is required, at some point in our lives to define and redefine until we are crystal clear what the definition of success is to us.
But who - other than me - has told you this is something you must do?
———————————
DEFINE SUCCESS = ACHIEVE SUCCESS
———————————
Once you have a definition of success, by default you have a vision. Vision holds an incredible power to pull us forward to complete the tasks required to fulfill the vision and create the success in our lives AS DEFINED BY US!
This is so important it requires repeating.
Success must be individually defined. Otherwise it is so easy to fall into the all too common trap of working to achieve someone else’s definition of success.
Although it might look good, it is not for us.
So, as you hear this, where are you on this path? Are you crystal clear what success is to you? If we were talking could you tell me your vision so I would not only understand it, but I would hear the passion in your voice?

This One Thought Changed my Life!
———————————
Does this whole idea make sense to you? I can tell you it sure changed my life!
There is another reason to define success for you. As you make decisions in your life, those choices are creating your life on a moment by moment basis. All the choices and decisions you make add up to your life as it is. (We have already talked about how your life is created.)
If you make those choices based on your values and your own definitions of success you then are creating the life you want and not willy nilly rambling through life waiting for something good to happen to you!
In other words you have a huge part to play in life creation. Your life creation that is. You see, that is what separates us from all the other creatures (and a lot of other humans). We are so blessed with the power of creation.
Are you creating your life deliberately, meaningfully and fully consciously?

I personally think that one should try to be successfull in different areas: Good health (best medical scheme as the medical costs are increasing everyday),healthy family and lastly not accually being rich but being able to can afford your daily needs and be able to save where possible
i thought about this days ago, some people maybe more concerned with impressing others by having a specific job that has a great social prestige, or by having cars or houses or whatever that implies money and luxury, so its more concerned with society,but we succeed when we do what we have always wanted, the thing that makes us happy, no matter what this thing pay, beacuse our passion about his dream wiill ddrive us into creation and transfering to the rest of the world the beauty of what we love, it’s bigger than the luxuries, beacause if you are not happy within yourself i don’t think luxuries count. so success is doing what you love without following any social standards. it’s about one’s satisfaction with their own place regardless of what the others may think.
Success is a step-by-step process, satisfaction, good health, happy family, experiencing connection with the Supreme power and enjoying each moment of life to the fullest
