THE ONLY TIME YOU'LL FIND SUCCESS BEFORE WORK IS IN THE DICTIONARY

The term success holds a different meaning to different people. It really depends on what our dreams and aspirations are. What level of achievement do we need to get to before we call it a success?

In order to fully embrace the meaning of success, we have to have life goals. Where do we see ourselves in 10 years time? When we were in school, making it through the examinations meant success. Getting into a top University and getting a degree meant success. After that, we realize that this success was based on a goal we set many years ago.

A wise man once said "Success is the progressive realization of worthwhile, predetermined goals". Whatever our goals are, it has to be worth something to us. Otherwise, realizing those goals would not have given us the satisfaction of success.

One thing we have to understand is that success does not come by without any work put in. In order to realize those goals, we have to put in the work to get there. There is no shortcut to success.

~ THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO SUCCESS ~

Of course, if it were simply work we have to put in, it would seem to easy. There are also other ingredients to a success recipe, many of those are shown below.

Another simple idea I like which simplifies everything. It's very interesting to note that these are the 3 elements required. Now how many of us are in this position?

DO WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT, LIKE WHAT YOU DO AND MAKE MONEY OUT OF IT

The bottomline is that we all can choose success, but are we willing to pay the price for it? Ask yourselves, is this your next exit?

Remember, success is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice AND success is not for a chosen few but it is chosen by a few.

Wishing you all the best in your pursuit of a successful life!
