So what is success? Success is the favorable outcome of an action. Success is growth, development and improvement. It is achieving what you set out to do. It is helping others reach their goals. Success is being comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. Success equals financial freedom.

If you want success you must determine your priorities. You need to decide what is important and what needs to change. You must develop a positive mental attitude. Actually, a positive attitude and success fit together like a glove. Really you can't have one without the other.

Think about this. How do you feel when in a room surrounded by negative people. The mood is gloomy, everyone is miserable, talking about how bad everything is. They probably spend half the conversation complaining and the other half wishing. Notice one thing though - none of them are actually doing anything. If you find yourself in that situation, surrounded by all those negative vibes, you need to get out. Now! If you want a successful life, don't surround yourself with negative influence. It will drag you down.

Your passion and desire for happiness and success is the only thing of value you need to consider. Not what anyone else thinks or decides. Your success is decided and created by you. No one else. You can have what ever you want if you set your mind to it.

Everyone's' idea of success is different. But obtaining that success has one rule. Set a goal and don't stop until you achieve it. It's as simple as that. And the greatest reward for achieving your success is knowing you did not quit. You followed it through to the end, no matter how long it took, or how hard it got. Persistence, patience and passion has brought you the success you deserve. And the feeling is fantastic.

Everyone wants a successful life, sadly many never enjoy the feeling, because they were too afraid to do whatever it takes. Success is a journey, a very personal journey. It requires discipline and personal development and a strong desire. It is also a roller coaster ride, because obviously, not every day will be a good day. The bumpy ride is all part of the journey though, and is what separates the winners from the losers. If you give up at the first sign of trouble, at the first hurdle you need to climb over, the first uncomfortable feeling, you will be giving up on yourself. You will need to dig deep and find your inner strength and believe in your self, keep focused on your goals. Success is what you make it, how you achieve it is up to you.
