I'm sure most of us heard the saying beauty lies in the eyes of beholder, right? And I'm all for it too. But in this post I am not going to talk about physical attractiveness. I will ramble on something that has been on my mind this past week. It occurred to me that SUCCESS also lies in the eyes of beholder, because each person has a different perception of success. One might view success as having so much money till they run out of ideas to spend them, some might view it as having a good stable job that'll guarantee their future or having a firm and practicing religious belief. The best thing about this is there is no wrong answer! Well, if your life goal(s) is(are) not malintent, then dream away!
There are several people I followed on social media platforms whom are considered successful in their field. I followed entrepreneurs, fashion model, teachers, philanthropist, non-profit organizations, insurance agent, authors,doctors and many more. It's inspiring to see people become success in their own way because it made me think of my own definition of success. Anyway, the one thing in common that I see when watching all these successful people is that they give back to the community, also by their own way. For example, this one entrepreneur is inspiring people especially the young generations by giving them prep talk everyday through his social media. This one author wrote a book on cancer and how it affected the people by using his words and make us the readers feel intensely towards the disease and also the primary and secondary sufferers. People from different jobs come together under one organization to help those in need. :')
But to achieve successful-ness (?) we must swim a flaming sea or climb the highest mountain. What do these figurative sayings mean anyway? It means for us to be out of our comfort zone. Get out of our blankets and use boxes instead. Being in our danger zone meaning we are pushing our boundaries, stretching our limits and knowing that we can do more than we anticipated. Positive thinking really helps when we loose a battle and preparing our mind for our next step.
You lose, move on.
