What Is Success?
This week I have started reading a book titled The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill. I have also been listening to the audio book version. As I get older I find that my eyes get tired more easily. For this reason audio books have been a Godsend for me.
This book started me thinking about how one may define success. The answer to this question will vary depending on the individual. What follows is some of the things that I would include in my perception of the concept of success:
1) Enough money to live comfortably and to be able to afford a few luxuries.
2) Being able to live at peace with one self.
3) Being in optimum physical and mental health.
4) The ability to calmly and reasonably deal with adversity.
5) Having people in your life who love you.
6) Having a close and peaceful relationship with your Creator, Higher Power, or God as you understand Him.
7) The ability to control your thoughts and emotions.
8) Being capable of having a positive mental attitude most of the time.
9) Performing work that you enjoy.
10) Having your own goals and dreams.
11) Living without fear as much as is possible.
12) The ability to negotiate positive relationships with others.
I am just getting warmed up and will write more on the topic of success in future posts. I welcome your feed back.
Rock on,
Ken David Stewart
