Success is one of the most misused words, and until you define it, you won’t realize what is coming between you and your success!
If the beauty of life is likened with a box of chocolates, then you will have to go to Switzerland to get the finest box. In other words, living a life that was bestowed on you through semen from your father is one thing, and living it with your conditions is an entirely different phenomenon.
Most of the people seek the pleasures of life; many come closer to extract it; and, yet very few of them end up getting the pleasure of life they had been dreaming for.
When a child is born, his parents and relatives begin expecting from him or her future success. First, in the educational field, and later in the child’s professional career.
The child is grown in a certain environment that shapes his thinking that the sole purpose of life is to get education for a six-figure job.
Throughout the period, the child is inculcated toward a personal advancement that can only be reflected through or gauged by monetary gains. From the beginning, this approach is developed that only a study that provides more opportunity for jobs are the best.
Eventually, youth tends to pursue a career that his or her environment has taught him/her to be successful. As soon as they complete their education, a dream job is usually awaiting them that secures both their present and future!
Is it the purpose of life?
Is success all about getting a secure job with handsome monthly income, and repeating the same routine each day before growing old and eventually dying?
More:
- What’s the purpose of life except waiting for an approaching death?
- What is stability but a highly overrated idea?
Perhaps, it is a too simplistic interpretation of the word “success” that the average human beings have condescended to contrive for mutual comfort.
Is it the routine that could satisfy the unrelenting soul of a man?
What you Should do to be successful instead of wealthy!
Until now, you have realized that what you had been using a misused synonym for success, i.e., wealth. However, it is perfectly fine to be rich and enable yourself to purchase the necessities of life.
But you can do it without being called as a successful person.
Now let’s talk about success!
Probably the single biggest thing that keeps a man from becoming successful is his own fear, the fear of losing what he already has. Like the current job he possesses, or the existing position or financial status he is enjoying owing to his work for which he had been shaped throughout his or her life.
Be rebellious!
Unless you decide to banish this fear of losing what you already have, you cannot achieve what you had always dreamt of but could not dare to accomplish as you could not spare time from your 9 to 5 job.
Many artists, writers, sculptors, poets, and scientists are buried under the office routines that suppressed both their desires and creativity eventually.
Yet many wanted to extract a piece of time from their daily life to read and grow intellectually, but they too could not for the same reasons.
Ultimately, they all tend to become a machine leading a tedious routine over and over again. Though they are good at minting money, they are destitute in terms of extracting time for themselves to nurture their creativity and allowed their priorities to rust their talent.
