Do You Know What REAL Success is?

by Linda Frame, RN-Medical Content Writer Freelance on March 18, 2015

HELLO everyone, thank you for visiting my blog today.  My name is Linda Frame and I am here everyday with:    DAILY ADVERSITY SUPPORT 

Authors Note: For my background information, please visit my Profiles on Facebook and Linkedin.

I’m here to talk about the challenges, the hurdles, those ‘nothing goes right days and the set backs that jump in your way unexpectedly.  You may even feel like that ‘black cloud’ hanging over your head seems to have your name on it.  If a particular topic of the day here doesn’t suit you or doesn’t speak to you, that’s fine, maybe tomorrows topic will seem more interesting to your issues in your life.  Why, because I have been through a lifetime of rock bottom challenges, and I want to share how you can crawl back up successfully.

Whether you feel at the bottom of your life with all the things that are going wrong, or, you’re feeling at the top of your ‘game’ in business, success should have the same meaning.

Now I realize when nothing is going right for you, you literally think I’m out of my mind, but I am not, so listen closely here.

Most people have been growing up in this world with the belief that “SUCCESS” means: being rich, the head of a company, a degreed professional, living in a mansion, driving snazzy cars and fulfilling their dreams.  Isn’t that what success is??  NO, that’s not what success is.

We know that Success is defined as ‘the achievement of something attempted’ & ‘gaining fame & prosperity’.  But, there’s another meaning of Success which is defined as; ‘succeeding fully or in accordance to one’s desires’.  So what we can agree on, is that Success is an accomplishment, achievement, triumph, or a victory of what we set out to do.  But there’s more to success than tangible achievements isn’t there?

Okay, so where does it say in the various definitions that Success means “money”?  It doesn’t.

Success is actually “Within Yourself”.  Yes, that’s right, success is what you ‘feel’ within your heart and soul, success is what your image portrays of yourself naturally simply because of your beliefs.

Alright, let me explain success in another way, by example.  WHAT IS SUCCESS? 

To give of yourself.

To find the best in others.

To appreciate beauty of all things.

To earn the approval of honest critics and endure the betrayal of ‘false’ friends.

To win respect of the more ‘intelligent’ people and the affection of children.

To laugh often and love a whole lot.

To leave the world a little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a beautiful garden, or a solid social connection.

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung out loud with great triumph.

To know, even one life has breathed much easier, because you have lived.

THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED!

“Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives”……..

See you tomorrow

Great point Di. You are so right, success IS so different for all of us. More importantly, if what you do make a positive difference on others, you are richer for it!! Thank you Di.
