SO WHAT IS SUCCESS ANYWAY?
I aim with this blog page is to share my thoughts and experiences in relation to a variety of success and personal development topics.
Today I am talking about SUCCESS. What is success? Is it having lots of money in your bank account? Is it achieving happy and emotionally connected relationships? Is it bringing the very best YOU to your work? Success is a personal thing, having different meanings for different people. For example, one person may want lots of money to buy MATERIAL COMFORTS but another person is more motivated by achieving FREEDOM and TIME, which having lots of money will also provide them.
My idea of SUCCESS is having a BALANCED LIFE. There is no use having all the money in the world if you are unhealthy or emotionally unhappy. Equally, if you are unhappy in your relationships or working life or unhealthy in your body you are unlikely to attract the money you want because you are not in the right MINDSET to create it. It takes guts to look at yourself honestly and see the areas where you may not be balanced and it takes work and focused effort to create a balanced life and that are where PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT is very important to SUCCESS.
In my life, I will admit I became very unbalanced in my working life (working too hard and too much and becoming a stress head) which in turn, lead me to ignore the needs of my body for better food and more exercise. This then lead me to a health crisis (and a painful back operation). So while I had success in my job (and money in the bank) I was neglecting other very important areas of my life. The good news is that once I became AWARE of my imbalances I decided to change my life through PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT on those areas that were not serving me to bring the balance back.
I don’t think any of us ever achieves a perfect balance; we just have to stay AWARE of ourselves and our behaviors to see if they are moving us towards happiness and success - or not.
So I will leave you with a question. Where are YOU balanced and not balanced in your life right now? Take a quick inventory. What key areas in your life are OUT OF BALANCE? Your relationship? Your health? Your Working life? If you are honest with yourself and focus more on the weaker areas you will find better balance and in turn, more SUCCESS in all areas of your precious life.
I look forward to your comments. Bye for now
