What a wonderful word and concept.
People have striven for it all their lives, and many have achieved Success, and others are not so lucky. It seems to elude them and their life. Many have been chasing Success for years, and others rush toward it and seem to find it almost immediately. It is a concept over which wars have been fought. One man’s success was another’s capture and domination. And it has been that way for eons.
The meaning of success comes in many forms and many definitions. It depends on what you are looking for in life and in business. Athletes may have one definition of Success, and a housewife may have another. A musician can see Success as a number one hit, and a Doctor can see Success as surgery gone well. It really depends on your outlook on life. The prospects for success are as numerous as the stars.
But we must begin to narrow down the understanding of success:
There is a difference between Achievement, Success and True Success.
Let’s explore this briefly.
Achievement is when you have committed to the task or action you attempted and achieved the desired results. It is based on what was expected and the results that were obtained. This is a daily event in the world and the market. People accomplish things all day long, but they don’t really achieve success in those actions.
Success is something different.
Success for most people is when you have a continuous series of achievements that, when put together, add up to one major life achievement known as Success. The sum of all achievements in a person’s career or life can be seen as Life and Business Success.
So, success is a continuous realization and achievement of desired worthy results, in relation to actions, life, business, wealth or a worthy ideal.
But there is an even higher level of Success.
There is a more powerful level of high performance.
That’s why we call the Path to Success “Success to Success”. It is Biblical that we all move from Glory to Glory, and we all must move from one level of Success to another.
It’s called “True Success.”
True success is simply the realization and achievement of a worthy ideal or result that your heart is deeply attached to. It is what gives rise to PASSION and your PASSION FOR SUCCESS. It’s what people die for. This is why some people burst through doors and create success easily, and others struggle their whole lives. They are operating in a completely different realm of success and actions.
It’s a Success Soaked in Emotion, Driven by Passion, Driven by Destiny and Forged with Heartfire.
There is no more powerful Success than the Success that the heart is welded by the Fire of Passion.
So we would say that Success and your heart have a definite connection in any kind of True Success, and in any kind that is long term.
That is why many athletes and artists have long careers. His heart is attached to his Success. That is why entrepreneurs often have long careers. You are operating in your Passion and True Power of Success. Many business people today have experienced True Success in their life on an ongoing basis.
Have?
People accomplish things every day. They achieve results and more. People are successful every day in the market and in the sports field, as well as in the professional field. The home field with raising successful children is one of True Success’s greatest passions out there.
But few get the Real Success.
Why?
True success has to be driven by passion, with an OnFIRE heart. True success is born from a dream that cannot be denied. He is driven by a hunger that cannot be stopped. It is driven by a focus that is relentless. It is driven by actions that will not be contained. And it is powered by a Force that knows no faults.
What is success?
It depends on you. But it is not just an achievement. It is beyond that.
The constant realization of a moral and worthy ideal is success for most people.
The constant realization of a dream and an ideal that is driven by the heart and Passion that will not, cannot and will never be denied is Success for some people.
Those few people know not only the meaning of success, but also the experience of a higher and deeper level of success.
They are motivated by success, not just chasing after it.
And within that small difference is the meaning and power between Success and True Success.
