About your success. Author: Patric Chan
About Your Success. Copyright 2004 by Patric Chan
What is success?
That’s such a big word.
Success has a different meaning to each individual. But I’ll tell you what success is by my definition.
Some people say, rich people are successful. Not necessarily. Money will only amplify your happiness. I like to think success is about being happy. Happiness is success.
What money does is make your happiness become bigger or smaller. If you have a problem, it makes it bigger.Example, if you have no money to pay your rental, you have a problem. But if you have no money for your house rental and can’t afford to pay your other bills as well, your problems have just magnified.
Similarly, if you are happy driving a car and you have more money to upgrade to a better one, you’ll be happier right?
You see, money doesn’t create happiness. It only makes your happiness bigger or smaller.
I’ve seen many rich people who are NOT ‘successful’.
Here’s how I’ll define success.
Success is about having the time of your life. Doing what you want, wherever you want, anywhere you want and with whoever you want.
Time is the most important asset to a human. Not money. Why do we live? One thing for sure, is not to make money. We make money because we have to.
We live to enjoy our life. With time, we can do that. If you don’t live your life to enjoy it, you may be on the wrong planet. :)
With time, I can be with my grandma. (I wrote an article about grandma if you want to read it at http://www.esuccessmastery.com/grandma.html )
Other than time, I have another way to describe success.
Success = Love.
Success is about how you are able to give and receive unconditional love.
I’m not trying to sound like a goody goody talking all about love. But that’s a fact how both of them are related to one another.
Success is love.
Let us dig deeper. Why do you think some people like to drive BMW cars?
Comfort? Ok.
Prestige? Ok.
To be admired? Ok.
But unconsciously, he wants to feel good around other people. For what? So that people will start to ‘love’ him at the end of the day.
Most of the things people do in life are just to get love whether they realize it or not.
What’s success I hear you ask me?
To give love to someone I love and receive unconditional love. I know you might find money very important. But one day when you come to a stage in life, you’ll see that what you’ve been working so hard for, may not be for money at all. Big house. Big cars. That’s not success. That’s success in the eyes of others. Success should be an accomplishment from within you. You feel success. Success MUST be part of you.
When you achieve it, you’ll reach another stage of life where you’ll see total abundance everywhere.
If success is so important, why does it seem so hard to achieve for some people?
These are the 3 main factors that STOP people from being successful.
1. Not prepared to invest their time.
Success is not easy. Just ask anybody who has been successful. You’ll have to invest countless hours of time to build success. Can you sacrifice your tv by not watching it? Or stop drinking with friends?
Are you able to sit through reading books to help you to be successful?
Can you spend time to work very hard in order to achieve success?
2. Too difficult to part with money.
Are you willing to part with money to learn success?
Robert Kiyosaki once says this in his book, ‘The most expensive advice is free advice.’ Many people seem to find it very hard to part with their money to invest in success.
What do I mean by investing in ‘success’?
Let’s get real. Useful and powerful tips and resources on how to be successful don’t come free. Let’s get really sincere and touch base on reality. If someone spent years and thousands of money to learn about success, is he willing to share it with you for free? Maybe, if you are a really close friend of his. Most likely, he won’t share it with you and I don’t blame him. Why?
Because if everyone expects him to do that, do you think he’ll have time to enjoy his success? And secondly, he worked hard to be successful because he wanted to be successful. If you want, you should invest your own time. If you want a short cut, PAY him for his time to teach you to be successful. He has spent money to gain this knowledge of success.
You need to invest money in self-improvement stuff like books and audios. Or attend seminars. If you have a bigger budget, you can even hire a coach or consultant. If you invest in the correct tools and strategies to be successful, most likely you’ll achieve it quicker.
If you expect to learn without spending any money, you can. But it will take you a longer period of time. But, can you wait?
3. Putting your ego down.
Some people have really big heads. Big ego. They know everything. These type of people think that they already know everything and are not willing to hear other people’s views and opinions.
Once you destroy your ego, you’ll have more room for self improvement.
Why bother to have an ego and try to learn success all by yourself when you can learn from others that have already been there, done that.
The correct mindset
You know you need to have the correct mindset to be successful. I’m not going to elaborate further on this because most of the self improvement books you have read already mention how to have a positive mindset and so on to improve.
But I have to stress on an important mindset that you MUST have to be successful. Some self-improvement books missed this one. It’s the abundance mindset. Once you are able to see everything in abundance, you’ll be able to see life from a different perspective. Abundance helps you to destroy negative thoughts like greed and selfishness.
Whether you are going to achieve your dream to be successful or not, it’s your choice. Ask yourself are you willing to trade your time, effort and money to be successful?
It’s not easy to convince you to be successful. It’s easy to give you empty promises. But not today. Today is the day you make up your mind to STEP UP and be successful.
Like I say, it’s not easy. But I sure am glad I have ‘paid’ the price of success and I’m enjoying it now. You can join me; all it takes is a decision and actions to follow it.
