Understanding Success and Happiness
13 June 2007Success is the progressive realization of positive, predetermined goals.
A person is most happy when they are progressively pursuing a goal or objective. The happiest people are those who are always on their way to someplace.
You cannot reach a goal then stop your progress and still feel successful. If you stop striving, you are stagnant. Successful people always seem to find the means to get what they want. As the saying goes, “If they need money, they get money; if they need people, the get people; if they need ideas, they get ideas.”
It is also true that like attracts like. Act successful, do the things successful people do, and you will be successful. These actions develop confidence, belief in yourself and, most importantly, they create desire, which will enable you to pursue your goals regardless of obstacles, resistance, circumstances or the opinions and actions of others.
People who don’t really succeed in life, do so because they lack direction and motivation. Without a goal as a guide, you are like a ship at sea with no rudder. You will end up wherever the seas and wind take you; you have no choice.
Be the master of your own fate. Go wherever you wish. Become whatever you choose. Have whatever you desire.
