Loading ...Success is not a fixed point or destination. You can’t simply arrive at success as you would your home or office. Success is a state of being or way of living, and it isn’t measurable by anyone other than ourselves as individuals. Nosce te ipsum, or better known as know thyself has been around for centuries and is as relevant today as it was then.
In order to become successful, you have to know really what you are capable of achieving. Would Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne have ever led the life of superheros if they didn’t know they had it within them to do so? Probably not. Now what does this have to do with success, I will tell you. Success is living to your fullest potential, for both yourself and others.
If you are capable of becoming a great manager in your company or of discovering the cure to cancer, would you choose to do so or would you just bide your time here on earth. Well, if you turly want to experince success, then you would choose the path that would allow you to live a successfull life. Naturally, you will want to do this because it is what you truly want to do, even if you have convinced yourself otherwise.
Sir Issac Newton didn’t know he would make one of the most important observations in the history of modern science, but he did know that he was a scientist and a good one. His success was being the best scientist he could without regard to the significance that came out of his pursuit.
Did you miss that word, significance. This is a very important term in knowing success, and the topic of our next post.
Great words & stories of motivation.
