How To Define Success
Ask ten people what success is and you’ll get ten different answers. Ask highly successful people and you’ll really discover something. One thing success definitely is, is persistence. To persist is to resist.
What are you resisting? Failure. Complacency. Mediocrity. Settling. The status quo.
Staying with it. Continuing to show up. Doing the work, day after day. Regardless of the score. The amount of money in your bank account. The likes or views on your social media posts. Success is a repeated effort in the area you want to win in.
This could be your health. Money. Relationships. Or career. The act of getting closer. The act of getting there. That is what success is. Name one successful person that quit and that was their success. You can’t. Because success or winning is not about quitting. It’s about not stopping. About not giving up. About not letting anything or anyone stand in the way. Even failure.
So what is your meaning of success? If the answer now contains persistence, then you are closer to getting there.

Thought Provoking Questions : By persisting you resist. What or where can you persist to get the life you want?
Daily I write and release a daily meditation. A quick read. Sharing wisdom and asking thought-provoking questions. Influenced by the obstacles, success and failures in my life and of others. Using history, books, current events, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. These writings are actionable, thought-provoking, designed to make your life better.
These writings are not to push a way of thinking on the reader or to force you into a certain philosophy or methodology. Rather to give you practical and real ways to handle life. This is an added tool. My writing is simply a discussion, a discourse, with all the material I read, watch, hear and consume.
