Success

To understand what it means to be successful is to be fulfilled and to understand what it means to be healthy both internally and externally. Many have described success in varying forms and ways, I would like to describe success as "a step higher than the last".

Let me explain that a little more. I was born in a mediocre family, my father had never been on a plane, never travelled out of his country of birth, worked four jobs to support his family and hardly had friends. I have been on a plane uncountable times, I have lived on three continents, six different countries, I only work one job to take care of my family and have a huge number of friends, I consider myself successful. I might not be a millionaire, I may not be a CEO or a COO but I have all I need, I know where I have come from and I know what steps I need to get me to a different stage and each stage higher than the one before is a success.

We are all not born in families like the Trumps, the Gates or Madonna and so we have to know and set our boundaries and priorities of what success is for us. The bottom line is that we have to know where we are and plot a way forward and set markers of where we want to reflect of the success we want to see. Its all about knowing where you are and where you want to go, plot markers and take account as you follow that plot.

In a nutshell, success is not an outrageous attainment of wealth, money or resources, it is a definable step and a clear goal that anyone who sets can achieve. Go and be successful.
