Success In Life Is Possible Right Now. Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing why success in life is possible right now. Success in life? What is it? If you’re making money doing something you enjoy, are you less successful than someone who makes more money? Of course not! Your life isn’t a competition against others to be fought on their terms. Two businessmen can be compared for their business success, but this doesn’t tell us about their entire lives.
Success In Life Is Possible Right Now
If you’ll be happier, wealthier and healthier sometime in the future, does this mean you are a failure now? No! Success in life is about the process, not about lists of accomplishments. A flawed but happy person going to school to get a degree or bettering his life is more successful than a miserable rich man falling into destructive habits.
Yes, I know we are going through a pandemic, and things are not looking bright. However, I felt it was time to think about what we want after the pandemic and restore our faith in life.
Your Success Is In The Actions Of This Moment
This may be new, but doesn’t it make intuitive sense? If you fail at the specific goals you are currently working on, but the attempt is honest, and you’re willing to learn from your mistakes, isn’t this personal success?
The idea may be annoying for some. For some, the thought of success being somewhere in the future is just a way to excuse the moment’s actions. They can continue “waiting for their ship to come in” and delay taking the steps they need to fulfil themselves. They can keep that future in mind – and constantly push it a little further forward. If you think like this, you may not like the idea that you can be a success right now because it reminds you that it is your responsibility.
On the other hand, the idea of success being in this moment can be a very liberating thought. You no longer have to wait for the future. Find your inspiration in the moment’s work, do it honestly, and accept the need to continually correct course and enjoy the journey; you are thriving right now. Of course, there is no guarantee that you won’t get lazy or discouraged, but when you begin again to work towards your values, you will live a successful life.
Success Is A Personal Thing
What do you want out of life? To become wealthy? To help others? Have great relationships? Travel the world? Be healthier? All of the above? Success in life is personal and unique. Whatever your best course in life (and this is only for you to decide), when you start honestly in that direction, you succeed as a human being at that moment.
Outward manifestations of success are superior – money, things and opportunities. You’ll have some of these, but you will also fail at many things. We all do, and that’s okay. The critical question is the moment-to-moment and day-to-day problem: will you start again in the right direction? This internal process of courageously choosing the best path and taking action defines success in life.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Talk soon.

I really needed to hear this! You’re right success is within us and we can be successful every day and even the little things in life

This is a great perspective about success. I have never seen it this way but I agree with you that yes, it’s a process and it’s subjective. Success for you may be different for others.

I can’t agree more with you, success is a mindset and can be achieved by everyone…Very inspiring indeed.

You had me at this line- A flawed but happy person going to school to get a degree or bettering his life is more successful than a miserable rich man falling into destructive habits! I always tell this to my friends and husband, success IS a personal thing, definitely!

Very well said, it’s true success is a relative term and can vary from person to person. Whatever gives happiness and satisfaction at the end of the day can truly make one feel successful.

I think success is subjective. For some people, it’s when they have a family of their own. For some, when they become popular. For others, it’s being able to land their dream job. I am successful because I have a family of my own and I am able to provide for them without asking for help from others.
