Personal success cannot be
specifically defined for the masses since it is, well, personal.
Therefore, in order to pursue personal success, or have any hope of
achieving it, it is first necessary to come to terms with your own
personal definition of personal success. Each individual’s own
definition of will be influenced by several key factors:
Personal success is subject to individual interpretation
based on upbringing, past experiences, role models, personal
motivations and goals. For some it might be to own a home in an
upscale neighborhood, while for others it might be a career in the
Peace Corps. Carefully contemplate your definition of success based
on your values—not what your brother-in-law or Madison Avenue tells
you it is.
Your view of personal success will change at
various times throughout your life. For example, what might be
deemed successful in college or on your first job is very different
from successfully raising a family or comfortably retiring in the
Caribbean. Your definition of personal success will continue to
change, so don’t make the error of pursuing an outdated version of
it.
Personal success is sometimes measurable and sometimes
not. Accumulating a certain amount of wealth is one measure, but a
successful marriage may be far more meaningful to many people and
can only be measured by how the two partners feel about each other
as the years go by.
Personal success is rarely achieved
accidentally. Most people who claim personal success first defined
it then planned for it; they set a goal to achieve it.
Once
you have defined personal success for yourself, your next step is to
set goals that will lead you to your definition of success. You must
create realistic, viable plans to achieve those goals. Follow your
plans, be flexible, and enjoy the process. It’s not about keeping up
with the Joneses.
