GOAL SETTING 2015!

The expectation these days is that every man, woman and child should achieve success, and as fast as possible. How do you define success? It can be elusive, which is understandable because the meaning of success can vary from person to person. Even the dictionary uses various words to define success.  However, the widely accepted definition refers to success as the attainment of wealth, position, honor, fame, power, or the like.

Many have learned over the years as their own values develop that success is not merely achieved by the amount of money you amass in life, or the material possessions you have, or even the fame, glory and honor heaped upon you. I have observed that for many these things can sometimes lead to failure and not success. Individual success is within the grasp of each one of us, but to achieve it requires initiative and effort. Here we are at the beginning of a new year where most people focus on setting new goals and achieving them, perhaps we could consider another definition for success which I prefer because it aligns better with my values.

 

SUCCESS: The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted, usually attributed to hard work. Without a doubt this will help us to stay on track achieving our goals for 2015.

 

SUCCESS TO YOU!!
