Success

I always hear people talk about their future, what it will look like and the lifestyle they are pursuing. People often say "I just want to be successful in whatever I do." You will often hear people define what that life will look like upon reaching that success. "As long as I live in a nice neighborhood and have a family I will consider myself successful." or "I want a big house with a view and sports car." The problem with this kind of mindset it that you are giving success a destination. "I will consider myself successful if..." Well what happens after you reach that goal. What happens after you accomplish those things but later something tragic happens. Are you still successful? According the plan laid out you would be successful because you accomplished those goals, but when life takes a sudden turn we don't look at it as if we are still successful but failures. See Success is NOT a destination, it is a tool in which we measure the amount of ones destiny fulfilled. So when things are going great it does not mean that you are any less successful it means that you are in a different season in your life. One Billionaire said "When I lost everything, I found my true calling. I knew that I was in the right places in the right time even when living in my car." The great Recession is one felt by all. But in these days lift your head up high and continue pursuing your destiny, if you are doing that you are truly living a successful life!
