If you ask most people what they want from life, you will discover that overwhelmingly, the answer is success. But if you ask 100 people to define success, you will end up with 100 different answers.
The Oxford Dictionary defines success as “the accomplishment of an aim; favorable outcome; or, the attainment of wealth, fame, or position.” If this is what success is, please, please tell me there is more to life than success. Or tell me that success is something else, something more.
I believe the greatest success is to be constantly growing, changing, developing, and evolving into the better person I know I can be.
Success in any field—business, sport, politics, music, art, or spirituality—depends upon a deep and profound understanding of who you are and what your needs, talents, and desires are.
As a child, I discovered that the key to success in any field is not a secret. There are no secrets to success. Gimmicks and quick fixes do not lead a person to success.
The key to success is character. The key to your success is your character. If you want to be truly successful in this life, focus your time and energy on building character. Study it, seek out examples of it, and remember, don’t just be yourself, be the-best-version-of-yourself.
