What is Success to you?

Different to everyone Success can be....... to some it is money, some the ability to do the things they want to do without the question of whether they can, and to some it is simply just the idea of accomplishment for themselves or someone else. I say true success comes from an ability to appreciate the hard work you have put in. Whether its owning your own company or achieving results for yourself through your chosen profession the true success comes when you learn to appreciate yourself for the achievement you have accomplished.

Take for example a successful professional in the field seeing all the right moves taking place while seeing growth and success in every corner of his or her professional life. In a lot of ways this is what we all work toward and seems on the surface like the light at the end of a tunnel we all find ourselves depending on our goals, however without appreciation for the work we have put in its just another task completed. With a very successful career I have found several wins over the years and several losses and it has always amazed me that in failure my reflection has always been just more. In all honesty I believe we all find a certain finality in failure as it is always a certain and will always be a consistent in our lives. Without the catalyst to change the end result we will always be the same as many people fail each and every day of their lives. The certainty of that is what I feel creates a net that feels quite cozy because in that certainty of failure exists the hope that we might succeed. So why then do we not focus our attentions toward the reason we find success and create a formula for ourselves? I believe its possible and with that belief exist the hope of finding success in all of our lives. I would challenge anyone out there to find the time to exist in a space where you list out and appreciate the areas of your life that you have succeeded and dwell on them for as long as needed appreciating yourself and what got you there. It's ok..... its really ok...... to commemorate on all your triumphs regardless of size.

In this recognition of our own victory, we find Success!
