Ways To Increase Success Without Going Completely Crazy

Despite all the frequent commotion we hear, success doesn’t have to be defined by prosperity alone.

It also doesn’t inherently have to be defined by performance.

Success can best be reduced to one word: serenity.

When we reach a sense of peace whether from decisions made, a journey completed, an objective met, or even achievement of a lifelong ambition, we’ve reached success.

But how do we get there?

The very notion of “success” can be a trophy or an encumbrance.

It depends on our perspectives or the personal circumstances related to how success is attained.

Check out these 5 success paths that have the power to alter our lives, if we’re willing to let them.

Impacting lives

• There is nothing finer than doing things for the purpose of change to impact the world around us.

• At the end of the day we sleep best when we know we’ve done something that is both vital to us and meaningful to others.

• There is nothing like realizing our potential to empower people or effect change.

• Knowing we accepted a challenge that contributed to society either locally or globally, and that we met that challenge, brings a sense of unmatchable triumph.

Meeting Obligations

• We all have obligations.

• Whether it’s those we inherit, earn or commit to ourselves, the duty and accountability of obligation places the onuson us to see that they’re met, which leaves us with sense of responsibility and also at times anxiety.

• Add to that our desire not just to meet our obligations but to fulfill them with excellence, and they can seem insurmountable.

• More than any other achievement, our obligations bring the expectations of others to the table.

• We never truly meet all of our obligations, because the list is never ending, but if we’re giving our obligations the attention they deserve, we acquire a sense of accomplishment in large and small ways every day.

Witnessing Results

• We all want to experience the products of our labor, but waiting for the payoffs or returns of hard work can seem interminable.

• Exercising tolerance is challenging.

• To be sure, taking action is success in itself, but we yearn for the results.

• So when the figures come in, or we begin to cross targets, goals, and objectives off, it feels good.

• At once we can finally decompress when the results of our efforts come pouring in.

• We all want to breathe that exhalation of accomplishment, and when we see results, we can.

• And it feels wonderful.

Contentment From The Pursuit

• We’ve all pursued objects.

• Some of us are still pursuing.

• We’re running down a dream, attempting to prove our passion has purpose in a million different ways.

• But sometimes weneed relief from the pursuit.

• Sometimes it’s best to stop sprinting, to stop attempting to capture something or someone, and simplylive our passion toward our purpose in this moment on our own terms.

• There’s undoubtedly contentment when the pursuit is successful, but there’s equally tremendous liberation when we realize pursuing after something is just unnecessary.

• Success isn’t always catching an ideal we’ve been pursuing.

• Success can also come when we cease pursuing, particularly if we’ve been chasing someone else’s ideal.

• The release of a need to pursue anything else because we’re simply content is contentment.
