Success Can Be Defined As

The great business leader and philosopher, Earl Nightingale once said; success can be defined as "the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."

Give yourself a moment to let that sink in...

"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."

Now, ask yourself, have you defined your worthy ideal?

Are you working at progressively realizing it?

There is truth in the statement "you can be anything you put your mind to" and it has been proven many times over.

Take a moment and look at the simple inspiration that was given by Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. From this late 60's show, we move through our lives because people brought some of the 60's fantasy technology and brought it into reality.

The Flip Cell Phone (The Communicator)
The Bluetooth Headset (Lt. Uhura wore one)
The automatic door (every room they walked into, the door 'swooshed' open and closed behind them)
Video Conferencing (the good and bad guys on the big screen)
Translation Software (speaking with other 'beings' without knowing their language)
Holodeck (Virtual Reality)
High Pressure Shots (instead of needles)
The Phaser - (the stun gun)
The Vending Machine - (providing food on demand)

All these things came from a thought, it was made to look real through TV magic and it inspired a worthy ideal, something to progressively realize in the minds of youth watching the show and within 15 years we had the cell phone, when technology got smaller, we had the flip phone shortly after that.

I am not suggesting that you watch a sci-fi show to come up with your worthy ideal, but I am suggesting that you can accomplish anything you can put your mind to and do it with the mindset of "how can this be done" and then figuring out a way.

Your success is just as far away as the amount of thought and effort you put into it.

Your success can be achieved by simply defining your worthy ideal and then progressively realizing it.

The Pursuit Of Happiness

Why are we here? What is our purpose? If we are in the process of realizing a worthy ideal, then we are successful because we are in the pursuit of happiness!

What is Happiness?

Happiness is being on your death bed, knowing that you have lead a fulfilled life, you have left a legacy behind that will continue to be fulfilled by your children and grandchildren and you have memories where you experienced life, the way it was intended, with the people you love the most, not the people at your job that you had to spend time with.

If you are nodding your head right now in agreement, then you are the type of person that should truly be on your pursuit of happiness. If you are disagreeing with my words, then you should take some time to discover what your purpose is and begin to pursue it.

You have probably realized now that this is the true secret to wealth.

In Your Service,
