Words for Humanity: Success

21 Apr

Success

By Maggie Gravier

The bottom line is that success is most definitely, one hundred percent, without a doubt, whatever you want it to be. While there is a definition of the word in the dictionary, success is a wonderful word that has a different meaning for each person. I have concluded that there are two keys to being successful in whatever you’re doing. 

  1.   Start! Start something, anything, that will get you to where you want to go.
  2.   Don’t stop! Keep going, and don’t forget why you started, even if the direction changes. 

The important thing is to keep doing something. Keep working towards what you want. When you get to the end, you will have worked hard and made mistakes and learned from them, and you will understand what success feels like; it will be because you worked for it and made it happen. It will be hard. There will be times when it feels like the world is against you, like all things bad are happening at once, like you can’t catch a break, like giving up before it gets worse. Don’t! Stick to what you know is right, and good, and what will make you a better person in so many ways. Decide what you want to do, and make it happen. Knowing that you got yourself there will make the taste of success infinitely sweeter.
