Do you dream of being the CEO of a Fortune 500 company? Have you wanted to buy that new home you’ve dreamed of for so many years? Exactly what is your idea of success?
Success is having achieved that which you determine you will do!
YOU determine what success is for you. It’s not based on any judgment other than your own. It’s not dependent upon materialistic measurements. And, for some, success is the journey, itself.
Success may be something material, such as money or a new home. It could be something egotistical, as the power and notoriety that comes with the position of CEO. It could be emotional, as finding love and commitment. Success may even be unselfish and altruistic, as
seeing children in third world countries healthy and safe. Success has n
o particular name or identity. There is no one method to describe what success is, other than the definition above.
It means something different to each individual.
All successful people, however, have one thing in common,
determination! To be a success , you must first determine to be so. Though not always a conscious decision, the
seed that leads to action is to first determine
.
Diane’s story is a great example of having a desire in the conscious mind, and the subconscious processing it as a determination. Diane’s love of writing began in middle school, because her friends were writing short romance stories about their favorite music idols. Diane thought she would give it a try. Her stories became so popular that she began writing them in segments. Her classmates couldn’t wait to get the next installment. From that point, she wrote different types of things—
poetry,philosophy, and sometimes only her thoughts. She won a few writing competitions in school, but most of her writings were for herself. It was only a hobby. Something she did to pass time, or a way to put her thoughts on paper. When she entered college,she didn’t give writing a second thought. She graduated with a dual degree in psychology and business management. Diane worked in business for several years;
then, “fell” into the writing profession.
In took a page from Diane's book and started writing my self.
