What is Success?

“Life should be about doing what you love, not what people expect of you. All these expectations to succeed but why isn’t succeeding seen as doing what you love?”

Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. So why has it been construed as what you should be doing to make a lot of money? We are not on this planet to make money. That is just a result of needing something to create stability. There are always different ways to live and yeah it isn’t always easy. Work hard for things that you are passionate about, don’t be scared to make mistakes, to take risks. What could be more important than creating your own happiness? If packing up all your belongings to travel the world makes you happy, then do it. If making a band with some friends and touring, creating music you love makes you happy, then do it. If building things with your hands makes you proud of yourself, then do it! Don’t restrict or limit yourself in life because you do not appear to be successful to others. You are successful because you are doing something you love and are proud of doing.

If you feel like there is something more, then explore that feeling, see where it takes you. The experience it provides is always worth the effort. Be successful on your own terms. You never know where your passions will take you unless you travel down that road. Being scared is okay. If you are scared to fail, or lose something or someone, that means you care enough to be scared in the first place. So isn’t that worth striving for? Success is yours find and make. Be who you are, not what others want from you.
