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 Your definition of personal success will continue to change, so don’t make the error of pursuing an outdated version of it.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.
