Success: What is it?

Guess we have all heard the word 'success' before, and usually associated it with a particular person, incident or accomplishment. But what really is 'success? THis question becomes relevant when we look back again at those moments, or persons, a few years to come, and find that they are not at the same success level as they were when we 'celebrated'them in the past.

In other words, what is it about success that makes it somehow shifty? such that it may be there today, and not there again tomorrow, what is it?

THe answer lies in the fact that success is not a destination. Indeed, it is wrong to say that one has attained success. May be we can say that one has become successful over something specific thing; but for success to happen it means simply that 'we have applied quality attention and accomplishment'on a particular assignment we have at hand, and did it so well. So success is what happens with every thing we do very well, but not a final label to carry about. How many so called successful sportsmen and women can we still point at today and say they are 'successful'. Hardly any,

The other reason is that in life, any step of accomplishment already immediately sets any target for you. So the individual must continually exert himself to climb new heights each time, and ultimately become so ennobled through each experience garnered that he can then talk of the ultimate success step, which is in self discovery and recognition of the Will of God in Creation.

SO, success, dear friends is a long distance journey, not a bus stop. It lies in accomplishing each task so well, as if it is the last task one plans to accomplish before departing the earth plane. It is a way of leaving your noble stamp of authority on each deed accomplished. You can do it, and I can do it. Lets get down to it. See you also at the top.
