Vision of Success

There are many different beliefs on what success actually is. Everyone has their own

definition of success. In general, success is making a goal with a purpose and achieving it. The

reason why success is so different for people is because everyone has their own purpose and own

goals in life that they wish achieve. Some people see success as just experiencing the American

Dream and others version of success is just being happy in whatever they do. People make goals

and if they do not achieve them then they do not feel that they have succeeded. Personally, this is

how I view success. I have goals and purposes that I wish to achieve someday. Goals are very

important to make in life because without them no one would go anywhere.

Success can be achieved through hard work, determination, and goal setting. A person

who sets goals needs to be ready to accept failure a few times before achieving success. It does

not come easy. Failure is a good thing because it just motivates the person to want to achieve

success even more. In order to set a goal, a person needs to think about what they really want to

get out of their life and what their primary purpose is. Every person has multiple purposes and as

we go through life we figure out what they are and what we need to do to get there. A goal can be

simple or a goal can be challenging, but people need to learn to challenge themselves. Goals

make individuals stronger in who they are and what they can do. Each goal has steps that need to

be taken before the goal is actually achieved. When a goal is achieved, a person will feel a sense

of happiness, also known as the feeling of success.

The one twist about success is that it seems that it comes naturally to some people.

However, it does not. Some people are born into it and are just handed the best life. For example,

celebrities have children and their kids will probably not have to work a day in their lives. In my

eyes, people who do not have goals do not figure out what their purpose in life is. People who

have a ton of money rely on it and treat money as their happiness. They feel that they have been

successful but money can’t buy happiness. Success is not measured in money, it is measured in

happiness and how content a person is about their life. It is important for a person, no matter how

much money they have, to find their purpose and set goals. Without goals, a person will not find

success or know their purpose.
