You are already successful
I have been asking myself lately, what truly makes a person successful in life? What goals and what accomplishments need to be met in order for a person to feel "successful"? Well, I have to tell you, I don't have a lot to my name in terms of money but I realize how successful I really am and how my success would eventually lead to wealth if that is my focus.
Your wondering on why I am separating success from money and the truth is, money does NOT make you successful. What makes you successful is taking something you love and giving it your all, not being satisfied with the idea of living the norm but allowing yourself to go above and beyond the expectations many people have of you. I believe so many people lose hope because they are focused on the end result instead of the potential within them; a person who is making the amounts of money lots of us may dream of did not get up there by thinking he or she was not worth it or not able to change their world for the better. They believe that success was theirs because it was always within them just waiting to shine to the world.
Always remember your own success, it is within you, it is something that is the root and the foundation of your dreams, your goals and your ambitions. Trust in that success and let it guide you to a place where you will see the fruits of your hard work. If your goal is to become wealthy, it will happen because you believe in your potential and your skills. Remember it does not happen overnight but it will happen and that is something to look forward to.

Hey Selene. Thanks for being kind enough to open your mind and have us take a look inside:-)
Just wanted to add a little something from my man Steve Jobs: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle."
It is my personal belief that if you follow this formula to doing what you love, then that by itself is a recipe for success. Success also can be seen as not merely the accumulation of material gain, but is seen as an attitude, lifestyle and even more so a state of mind (mindset). Hence, why it will always be possible for a successful person, who went bankrupt, to become successful again - due to that frame of mindset and attitude!
Thanks for shining so brightly...
as we need your light,

Thanks Andre :) It's funny, I write it down and read it to myself to remind me of the truth. Sometimes we get sidetracked by the negative thoughts and I am not trying to give those thoughts the time of day ;)
Great post. I agree. Success is available to all of us, we just need to believe it, and be our own true authentic selves. Enjoy the process.

you are right success is not measured by money,, though we all want to make a living that is the end result in between it is about empowering others and learning
