How To Measure YOUR Success?
The video below explains this entire article in under 2 minutes so, if you hate reading then please view it and leave a comment about what success means to you! :)
Success is a very sensitive topic. Most people have watered down this definition over the years. Success has been watered down to cars, money, women, houses, and flaunting the good life. I am here to really give you a reason to define your success. I am here to help you make good decisions when it comes to success. I am also here to tell you that you may have defined your success incorrectly!
When defining your success you should not be looking online for the answer. You must search within yourself first. When searching for answers you must ask questions. These questions should not be random. These questions must be harsh and precise. Before you ask yourself, "What does success mean to me?" you must first ask yourself a series of questions which will bring you to your successful conclusion.
What Do I Love Doing?
The above question is a serious one. We all like doing things. We all kind of like doing something. We all say, "Eh I wouldn't mind doing that." When you ask yourself this question I want you to understand that the answer must come from within. Deep inside you when someone says, "Game Developer" your ears perk up and your overall mood gets better. Just because you want to speak more on the topic. Love is a strong word. So, use it wisely.
What Am I Passionate about?
There are many things that drive your passion. Passion, similar to love is a feeling. The sleight difference with passion is something even in the darkest times will keep you driving forward. I believe people do fall out of love. Passion, no passion stays there forever. You can think your passion is one thing, but it could be another. I thought my passion was creating videos games. No, my passion is being creative. Helping people with that creativity. That is my passion.

Why Do I want To Do This?
With anything in life we must define our why. Why is very important. We all want to be successful, but most of us forget why we started the journey to become successful. Forgetting why is the main ingredient for failure. Write down why you started. Write it somewhere and stow it away until you really need it. If you can remember it even in the darkest of times, awesome. No matter what you can not forget the reason you started your journey.
Failure
If you have gotten this far in life and you don't like failure I am right there with you. We all must embrace failure. We can all clearly define failure as not hitting a set goal. That is completely okay. If you do not hit a goal on that set day or time don't worry you will hit it just not now. Many people mistake failure for a hiccup or a mistake. When we make mistakes or fall then it is no big deal. Failure truly is you giving up. So if you are falling 100 times make sure you get up 101 times. There is no reason why you can't. If you are willing to make your life better then you can do it.
Enjoy The Journey
You will be tested. Your body will be pushed to the absolute limit. Everything will feel weird. Your journey is a long one. Everyone's journey is a long one. Make sure you can enjoy every bit of it. No one will ever tell you this, but the journey is hard. When things are hard then they are worth while. So many people coast through life and at the end they regret everything they have done or didn't do. Don't be that person. Don't let yourself waste away. Go try to get that new job. Go try and start that business. Go out and make Youtube videos. Travel the world. With all of the above tools and enjoying the journey you will be successful. Define your success and enjoy your life!
