Hi 😀
So I would REALLY like to hear your thoughts on the topic that I am going to be raising here.
If you type something into the comments section below I will definitely read it and you will make my day! 😀😀😀
The topic is SUCCESS and I’m opening it up with a very simple, but very important question…
If you were asked to put together a simple guide to teach others how to become a success, what specific factors or advise would you include?
(Why don’t you pause for a moment and think of at least one factor before reading on?)
I personally would say that one of the first things that one needs to do in order to become a ‘success’ is to define it. I.e. To answer the question…
- What specifically does it mean to be a success?
And you know there’s another question that comes up when one starts thinking about this…
Is success ‘subjective’ or is it ‘objective? – Meaning do I choose what success for me is and other people can choose something completely different and whatever we each choose, if we achieve that we are successful, or, is there an objective, universal definition of success that will be the same for every person?
I’d love to hear what you have to say regarding these 2 questions that I have raised:
1) What are some of the main factors that you think will create success? (You can write them in the comments area below).
2) What is your definition of success and do you think it’s subjective or objective?
This topic will, please G-d, be continued…
For now, I’m really looking forward to hearing even any thoughts that you’d like to share. 😀
Until next time… 😀

Success must be relative or you’d have to judge the success of a two year old child and a experienced, professional adult on the same scale. That relative scale must also apply based on what people want or you’d have to judge a brilliant brain surgeon as a failure because she’s not a movie producer or train driver.

Success is not defined by what makes us happy for the moment. I think it’s living according to our deepest and real needs that will produce long term happiness and success

My thoughts are, in order to be successful you need to set measurable, discreet goals and make them small enough to be easy enough to accomplish, so that you can choose to make them a habit. It will need to be a deliberate choice, because forming new, positive habits is hard work and won’t happen by itself. Once you are habituated to doing small, measurable and concrete steps towards your goal, you will be on your way to being successful. It may take some time to get the balance right and you should be prepared to get it wrong lots of times before you get it right. I’d suggest you need lots of patience here – both for finding the balance and also developing each specific step it into a habit. You shouldn’t try and go too fast here, as it will take a long time to develop a habit.
In terms of objective and subjective, I’d suggest that you can set your own goals subjectively, but whether or not they’re the goals that G-d would want you to choose is not so subjective.
Nice blog (:
