What if you never get the chance to be as rich as the world's richest, would that mean failure, that is a big no. We are all on our different path to success and what one would term as success may have a complete different meaning to us. We can't measure our success with the level of another's succes since life places us on different path while we are trying to achieve success.
Success means to me being able to accomplish a set goal or purpose Iife. With each one of us with different goals, you can then begin to understand why it's wrong to measure your level of succes in life with others. Most us get distracted on our way to achieving our goals because we begin to give attention to those that openly display their wealth; a sign that we they have won or successful.
People now expect validation from others to know if they are also doing well. On social media, people now post almost everything about their lives, and this always welcomes all kinds of opinions. Your life isn't dependent on others' opinions. Do what you want, not what they want you to do. It's good to know how you are doing in life, but I think this shouldn't come from people who have little to no idea about your path to success.
Most times, people, as a result of what they see of others' lifestyles, put pressure on themselves by wanting to have the same level of their success. At every moment of your life, it's important to take a closer look at the progress you've made. This can only be done as you begin to reflect on the goals you've set and those you've accomplished. When you realize that among the many goals you set, only one has been accomplished, it should be celebrated as a significant achievement.
It's important to recognize that before any accomplishment, there were failures. The people who continue to succeed are those who celebrate even their smallest victories. In truth, there may be failures hidden behind the success of those we admire. They choose to celebrate their victories because it brings great motivation. Why wait for everything you need in life to be happy when you can find joy in even the smallest reasons? Instead of worrying about what you lack, focus on the happiness you can derive from what you already have. If one person can give you the love you need, why concern yourself with the hatred around you? Finding just one reason to be happy can add excitement to life, so go out and embrace that moment when you need it most.
