Defining Success…Or At Least Trying To!

I just finished reading a new article on yahoo titled Warren Buffett’s son preaches values as wealth

That article inspired me to write abouth Success today..

Defining success is one of the most complicated things to do. Almost everyone I have ever spoken to on defining success while traveling along the length and breadth of Country, I have found that people are out of words when it comes to explaining what success means for them.

Personally I’m passionate about traveling and talking to new people whenever I can. I love to learn about other people, their culture, their beliefs, their preferences and everything I possibly can in the time duration I get to spend with them.

I have seen that people have a very broad idea about their success. Most of the definitions I get are like a happy-go-lucky life, no debts, plenty of money and all of them just want to be successful. But, when asked ???successful at what???™ they are lost.

From all the definitions and descriptions I have come across in my career, I have come to convince myself that what all of us want in life is a good life and that??™s what is success for us or; we will not be happy and satisfied. But, desiring a good life is too broad and unspecific to wish for. So, one need to ask himself or herself ???What is good life for me???™ and then sit to define every thing that you want to be a part of your good life.

You may go about writing; being able to see the sunrise every morning, enjoying more time with family, experiencing the pleasure of a great lifestyle, being able to buy everything you like, etc. So this becomes your list of things that make up a good life for you and you desire to live this way. Then what you need to do is work out how can you achieve all of this.

Work out, how you can go about living it. Work out, what kind of a person it takes to actually all of that you have listed. Work out, what all you will have to do to achieve it. Finally, work out how much time you will possibly take to achieve what you have listed and then get on work. Get started. Get on with it your list and start working towards each item on your list, one by one.

These steps are very simple but not so easy to work up on. These steps will not only help you design and define your success but also help you live it if you work upon it full commitment. Even though the awareness is spreading all across the globe about the need of personal development but still more than 95% of the people do not make the effort of this simple exercise and that??™s why they suffer in the long run.

Now, this appears to be a bit time consuming and a lot to do but the rewards are infinitely greater for who do this part. The process is more enticing then you can imagine. You cannot imagine what it can do to your spirit. It??™s a challenge if you can stop yourself from roaring after you have started on this magnificent process.

On Warren Buffett’s son preaches values as wealth there was a comment written by yahoo user “Whodaman” who nicely summarized success..

      Success to me is seeing a smile on my face and others around me.
      Success to me is achieving the impossible.
      Success to me is showing love to those I care for.
      Success to me is being proud of who I am.
      Success to me is me giving a helping hand to those in need.
      Success to me is helping others find a brighter future.

      The difficult I do immediately. The impossible takes a little longer.
