The basic thing we all seek is success, everybody wants to be successful but the idea of success differs from one person to another. The common objective is that we all seek to attain success.
There have been many books by various men and women trying to point out the way to success, some have rendered valuable service to those following them in that path but still nobody can give a total or complete story of success. This is no cause for alarm, the reason for this is that to attain success different people follow different paths, what works for you will probably not work for me. The reason being that no two sets of substance are precisely the same, no two persons have precisely the same attitude and characteristics. Putting this to mind I then think it will be ridiculous to attempt to lay down a universal application that will lead to the great goal of achieving success. You have to look around you closely to monitor the circumstances, opportunities and changes.
Before you can lay down rules and call them secrets to success you have to understand the different needs and different situations of different individuals. People who have attained success have done so through different means, each with an element of originality in their lines of action.
Individuality is one factor that has played a role in helping people achieve success. Different people see success in different ways, what I consider as success is never always what other people will consider as success, success for me might be having a car, a beautiful home and a happy family with a good source of income that pays well enough to cater for my basic needs whereas some other people won't consider that as success, they will probably want big mansions, luxury cars and a fancy life.
Success is not always determined by how much you have, rather it is a function of how fulfilled you are with your accomplishments. Everything dwells down to Individuality. If you don't feel accomplished with what you have then you will not see yourself as successful.
Being satisfied and fulfilled is what we ultimately strive for, happiness with our lives is why we do most things we find ourselves doing. Happiness and success are intertwined, wealth however is what many people see as success but sometimes what you don't have seems to be the source of your worries until you have them and nothing changes. It’s essentially that when we seek success we go about it the right way so that when we attain our desires we will truly find fulfillment.
