Key to Success

Today I want to talk to you about a subject that many people have been talking about, for a very long time and that subject is called “SUCCESS”.

You see success means different things to different people. What success might mean to me is different than what it may mean to you and what it means to you, is different than what it means to a kindergartener who’s just trying to get a star on his homework assignment. Or perhaps to a housewife, who’s been trying to get her five kids in bed by 9 pm. Or maybe even a corporate executive who’s been working for his or her corporation for 20-plus years and only wants to become the CEO of their organisation.

As you can tell we have so many different definitions of this word “SUCCESS” but the greatest definition I can give you today is this,

“Success is all about self-expression, It’s about being who you want to be, doing what you want to do, going where you want to go. Because when it comes to your life, you are the boss, and you have a choice."

In fact, you are who you are today because of all the choices that you’ve made in your whole entire life. As we are growing up we have a lot of people who try to tell us how to make these choices;

Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our friends, even our neighbours. They try to tell us how to live our lives, what we should do, where we should go, how we should walk, how we should talk. But my question for you is this, “if you’re trying to be what other people want you to be, then who will be you?”

So the key to success is to stop conforming to other people’s expectations and start performing to your own level of expectations. It’s to believe in yourself. It’s to know that what you want will eventually come to fruition, as long as you believe in it.

You see you have to have faith. And faith is knowing that what you want will eventually come to fruition as long as you believe it. And if you feed your faith, you’ll find often times that your fears will starve to death, because if you believe in yourself, everyone else in the world will believe in you.
