What does success really mean to you?

It’s important to clarify your thoughts, goals and desires before you can achieve success! You can’t work towards something passionately when you aren’t sure what the end result will be.

Success means many different things to different people. Unfortunately, the tendency is to view monetary gain as success. However, financial wealth is only a small part of overall success.

Different Areas Of Success

Because there are different areas of success, you can be successful in one area and unsuccessful in others.

So in order to develop a plan for your success, it’s important to make your own list of areas that are relevant to you.

To achieve overall success in life, you’ll want to examine your priorities in each area.

For many of us, there are three main components of success.

In your personal plan for success, there may be even more, so be sure to include any areas that are important to you.

Consider these three main areas:

1. Career. Any number of things can be used to measure your success when it comes to your career. In your career evaluation, remember to determine what strengths and weaknesses you have that can help or hinder you from achieving your goal. Contemplate these questions:
   • Are you happy with your career?
   • Do you desire a higher status position?
   • What amount of income would make you happy?
   • Would you simply like to feel appreciated by your boss?
2. Emotional. These questions can guide you to important considerations for your emotional success:
   • Are you satisfied with your relationships? Why or why not?
   • What have you learned so far that could help you do better in the future?
   • If you have children, do you feel successful in how you’re raising them?
3. Health. Are you doing everything you can for your overall well-being? Maybe a change in diet and exercise is in order. Take a moment to evaluate whether you’ve achieved success in this area or if there’s room for improvement.
   • If your health can use a boost, make a plan to start implementing changes in your daily routine that lead to a healthier lifestyle.

The Journey To Success

Your journey to success will have highs and lows throughout your life. There will be mistakes and disappointments. You may experience a setback at some point. The beauty is that you can get back on track and move closer to your goals at any time.

• You may achieve new levels of success at different times in your life and career. As you progress in your job, start a family, and get involved in giving back to your community, your definition of success may change, as do your priorities. Go with the flow; it’s okay for your outlook on life and your meaning of success to change over time.
• Love what you do! Life is too short to be stuck doing something you despise. To achieve success in life, work with what you’ve got. Focus on your strengths and interests and do the things that bring those to the forefront of your life.
• Challenges and obstacles are opportunities for further success. everybody has setbacks at some point in their lives. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be human. The successful individual has the confidence that he or she can and will do better!

Every so often, it’s very important to step back and re-evaluate your idea of success. There are so many changes in life and with each one you’ll find that your priorities change also. Never underestimate the power that comes from persistence and experience. Most importantly, though, remember to enjoy the journey!

In the next lesson, you’ll discover the power of affirmations to help you succeed.
