Searching for Success!

Before we begin our never ending chase for 'success', we have to think about what it actually is. I feel that this term is applicable to everyone and anyone, yet it's meaning is different to each individual.

Personally for me, it currently means:

• Actually passing my uni exams.
• Graduating. 
• Learning how to drive. 
• Getting a well-paid, good job.

Basically different goals to achieve.

However, after much deliberation and thought (and believe me my mind does not shut up) I realised  that success really comes down to happiness.

All the things I listed above, I could hopefully achieve. But after gaining all these things, can I really label myself as 'successful'? I could graduate for example, yet maybe it was a course I was not keen on. I could learn to drive, but what would be the point if I was to never get a car? I could get the highest paying job, yet HATE what I do. Does that really make me successful? I don't think it does.

Many feel that it lies with money, the more money you have the better your life will be. That's a load of crap. Yeah money buys you things, lots of things you want and makes you happy...but only temporarily.

At the end of the day, the more we gain pleasure in what we do and the more happiness we attain, the more we begin to prosper in life - we begin to truly enjoy it and that's the key.

Now the key to achieving happiness...many of us are still trying to figure out that answer...
