Success is a word that has many meanings, each person in the world can make a definition, and possibly everybody is right. Some people may feel successful just by getting up early every morning to exercise, others having the car or the house of their dreams, and some people do not even think about succeeding.
Luis Costa, who is a businessman, said that ‘success is the progressive realization of a dream’. John Maxwell, a recognized speaker in topics of leadership, said that ‘success is…knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others’, and for Zig Ziglar, who was an American author, salesman, and motivational speaker, said that ‘success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success’.
I like these definitions about success, with each definition I share ideas, for example, when I saw the quote of Luis Costa I thought it might be true, I have always been working for dreams that convert into goals, where I have been happy along the path to achieving these, and when I achieve a goal my mindsets up a new goal. I believe that that is life, have a dream, convert this into a goal and work to achieve this and when you complete your goal, continue with new goals.
On the other hand, I also like the part where John Maxwell says that people must have a purpose in life. If you know your skills, you can work with passion and help other people, achieving an impact around the world, like did Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, etc.
In conclusion, if you are feeling good about your life, you have a life without stress and enjoy all moments of your life, I think that you’re a successful person.
