GBE2 "Success"



Success means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Money? Power? Fame?

For many people, accomplishing the goal you set is a success. But I think that you need to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself by stretching a little more in order to move yourself forward to the next level of your own success. By taking consistent and persistent action every day, even in small amounts can move you forward to where you want to go. This in-turn is your own success. It does not have to be money, driving an expensive car(s) or having a big house or more. I believe Success is on your own terms. Typically, everyone uses someone else’s definition of success and never bothers to look at success for themselves. Each person is unique enough to have their own definition of what makes them feel and think they are a success.

Peace

    I agree!

    Success comes when we challenge ourselves and sometimes it also comes after tribulations... We make mistakes and we carry on. We apologize when we are wrong, we pick ourselves up when we fall, we persevere when life feels overwhelming and this equals success. We don't give up and with hope, love and faith in ourselves and in each other we succeed.

    Itty-bitty baby steps. Yes! Head in the same direction, even a wee bit at a time, and we can look back amazed at just how far we've come.

    ♥ you!

    Setting goals and achieving those goals are means of success for me. I'm still waiting for them to materialize. I wish you lots of success on YOUR terms.

    I also think that making a difference in someone's life is a mark of success. Step back and think of all the people you have helped by just being "Montana Lady". Don't forget about old Pops either.

    Love you!!

    As long as we all remember to measure success by our own standards, not those of anyone else, I reckon we'll get by just fine :) Nice post.
