What Does Success Mean To You?

We all want to be successful, right? If you are asked what is the definition of success, we will have different answers.

You think if you achieve something, you will be successful. That is your success. Another person thinks in a different way. He or she thinks and defines success if he or she is able to do something and get to a certain level.

So your success and my success are different. That's the fact. Let's talk about how a student thinks about success.

If a student does well in the exam and gets a good grade, he is successful. After finishing school, he wants to go to a good college. If he is able to get admitted to a good college, that's a success.

He always dreams of going to a good university for higher education. There is a lot of competition you have to face to get a chance to study at a good university. If he is able to get a chance to study at a good university, that is a success.

It does not stop there. It moves on. After finishing academic studies, he wants to get a job in a particular company or organization. That's what he dreamed of when he was studying at university. Now if he gets the job in that company or organization, he is successful.

You see the person is the same, still, the definition of success keeps changing. When we see successful people and hear their story, we are inspired. And we want to be successful like them. What we usually miss is that we want to follow their passion, their goals, and their target and we try to make them our passion, goals, and target.

You and the successful person are two different people. You do not need to make their passion yours. You have to figure out who you are, what you are passionate about, and what you want to achieve in life. One of the successful entrepreneurs said,

My biggest fear of my popularity is that you think you have to do it like me. The only hope I have when you look at me is that you try to figure out your version of you that makes you as happy as my version of me makes me.
-- Gary Vaynerchuk

Yes, that's Gary Vee. If you want to watch the video where he said that, here it is.

This is your life. You have to figure out what you really want to do and what makes you happy. This is the greatest moment to stay alive. We have a lot of opportunities that do not exist before. Let's take action and do your own thing.

Most people think, if I become successful I will be happy. When the truth of the matter is, if i am happy first my success comes to me much more easily.

Yes, sometimes we think like if I get there, I will be successful and happy. After getting there, we set another goal and say the same thing. How about being happy right now where you are and love the process?

As you said,

if i am happy first my success comes to me much more easily.

Thank you so much @edkarnie for your comment!
