Success is Everything

People often say that money isn't everything, and I think I know what they really meant. When we put this in the perspective of success, it is quite intriguing to affirm such belief. This is because money can either be numerator or denominator for success.

First, you need to succeed to survive. We must take the seasons and learn how to use them with the seed, the soil and the rain of opportunity to learn how to sustain ourselves and our family.

But then second is to then succeed to flourish in every part of your life. A good question to ask mature people is, “If you could do better, should you?” I think almost everybody would answer the question in the positive.

It is like Zig said: “Improving in every area of your life to see if you can't, with satisfaction, at the end of the day, week, month and year say, ‘I have made excellent progress this year for myself, for my family, for my business, my career and my health.’” I think that kind of success is something everybody recognizes as legitimate and something we should all strive for.

As we progress into the second phase of 2014, the onus is on us to wake up to the task ahead and redirect our strength towards success and success only.
