70+  Motivational Quotes to Inspire Success in Your Life and Business 

SUCCESS:

                     We want to achieve success, it is a part of our life plans. Success is strongly related with our life plans. ... Each of these goals brings us positive feelings and emotions

One of the great models in life, the late Coach John Wooden, defined success as follows: “ Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” Success is an attitude.

What Success Isn't?

Before we can pursue success, we need to understand what success is not. If you spend only a few minutes on social media, you will realize how many people have a very narrow definition of success. They think it's about making money, having the perfect relationship, starting a billion-dollar business or collecting big social media. And many times, they connect famous people with their image of success.

None of these things or people are wrong, but being like them does not make you successful. Once there, many people just fought and struggled to feel sad. They are unhappy because they followed the wrong definition of success - one that does not match their values.

During childhood and early adolescence, we learn from our parents, teachers, and friends different ideas for success. Everyone has their own agenda and ideas for who and what we should be. While it is okay to value the views and expectations of others, we must not embrace them. No one can blame us for their success. No one can tell us what it means to have a good life.

     “Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”

― Viktor E. Frankl
