Success. The dictionary defines success as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Unfortunately many people are not reading the dictionary. People use the word success interchangeably with rich all of the time. Being successful has nothing to do with money unless money has a direct impact on your goal i.e. an investment banker. Still, be clear that being rich does not make you successful; and you may not be successful if your aim is to be rich.
Many successful people are not rich, many people are rich but far from successful. "They must be successful if they are rich" you say? Nope. These people have positions and opportunities that pay well...very well however their position has nothing to do with their aim or the life that they want. Most of us know at least one of these people. On the outside they are successful because they attain many material things. They are missing the one emotion that would complete them; success.
You must look at success as an emotion in order to really understand it. I suggest happy and success should be used interchangeably instead of rich. Some people have goals that are within arms reach, others have goals that are up next to the sun. The completion of these goals may or may not come with a large paycheck. Does it make the accomplishment of the goal any more or less of a success?
I didn't mean for this post to coincide with the last, but I have to refer back to living what you love, the successful people and the people aiming for success comprehend the LWYL attitude quickly.
Being successful has nothing to do with how many cars you have or how many homes you own. It has everything to to do with accomplishing your goals which may help you attain cars and homes.
In order to be successful you must constantly remind yourself of your goal, then take the steps to achieve it. This way you can say "Yes, I am successful!". Then make another goal and be a success over and over again.
Remember it is not important that you are successful to others, your success is evident to those who understand value.
