Success takes you away from your true self – Fact or myth

Success lies in the process

The road to success is not an easy path. It requires commitment, giving up a lot of things, devotion and above all hard work. To be a successful person does not only mean that your bank balance grows,  it also requires you to make certain changes in your life which can help you achieve your goal within the time span that you want.

 Think-about

We have heard of cases where people have achieved success in a very short time, it may be that they have worked hard, however, the possibilities of using unethical methods and techniques is also high. In order to gain success some people do not mind compromising on their ethics, values, methods and even the approach they take. The questions that you really need to sit and think about are:

  • What good is this success if it converts you into somebody that you cannot even recognize?
  • Is success so important that you do not mind becoming this new character that even your friends and family would have never thought about?
  • Do you generally feel proud from your heart when you achieve something, or do you feel ashamed of the things that you couldn’t take care of?

The list of questions can go on, it is never ending. Maybe in your ego you may also say “Yes I have done it, I have achieved what I wanted. What if I made millions of compromises to do so?” The reality is that, the success that you gained might not last forever, but maybe the things that you sacrificed to achieve it were irreplaceable.

A truly successful person practices good things and adopts bad methods

A truly successful person is one who is satisfied with what he or she has, and at the same time, he motivates himself keep moving on. The reality is that if you truly want to be successful you will not let this factor take you away from yourself.

If you want to be successful in your life, here are a few things that you would need to change or incorporate in your life.
