Understand.
There is more than one way to skin a cat (I have never known anyone who would want to. Almost everyone has a future state that they would like to see themselves in. This can be from a financial, spiritual, physical or in various other ways. Whatever the state, there is more than one way to achieve it. It all depends on your personal beliefs, attitude, strengths and weaknesses.
Success is different to everyone. It is even different to you, depending at what time in your life. It is important for you to understand what success means to you. The future state that you would like to see yourself in. More often then not we adopt what other peoples idea of success is to them. It happens far more sub-consciously then we may be aware of, or admit to ourselves. It is near impossible these days to not be influenced by external media. However, we have more power than we may realise, to decide who it is we will listen to. What weight we give that voice. We have the power to add significance to what we decide to listen to.
We as people need to understand ourselves. Where we are now, where we want to go. How we will get there and whom we decide to listen to and be lead by.
