Topic > Success in Life - 689

Success is something we all aspire to, be it success in our career, in our work or in our family life and relationships. We all want to achieve our dreams and live the life that makes us happy, but success can be difficult to achieve. Unfortunately in a world full of success-oriented people, very few actually get exactly what they want. Many people think that having a good job, living in a nice house, driving a Mercedes or a BMW is success. It's not. You have to do a lot more to be successful in your life. You've never met a person who didn't want to succeed in life, but you've met countless people who don't know how to do it. Many of us wander through life as Zig Zigler said: "Wondering generalities, always hoping to succeed, but never doing what it takes to get it." Before discussing the "how" to be successful, it would behoove us first, to define it. Success has many definitions and can take on many meanings. Success can be achieved in several or all areas of our lives, from health to finances to relationships. For me, success is all of the above. Success is educating and perfecting yourself to the extent that you have acquired and mastered all the information, skills, and discipline necessary to truly live a successful life…in all areas of life. This is the research I am carrying out. However, for many, success is defined by money in the bank. And that's not a bad place to start because, as Jim Rohn says, money is easy to count. In other words, financial success is a good place to start because it's quantifiable. You can count it and you can know for sure whether you are doing better or worse. And you don't have to wait years to put your goals on a sheet of paper and live your life the way you want. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do something. But if they do, prove them wrong and you will succeed. This is also a kind of success. On top of all this, to be successful in life you need to be disciplined. You need to focus on your goals. Handle all your things fairly.Works Cited• Zigler, Zig. “Asking generalities, always hoping to succeed, but never doing what it takes to get it.” Goodreads Inc, 2013• Rohn, Jim . “Money is easy to count.” Anonymous: October 22, 2013.• Morley, Christopher.
