Oh! Come on, You are Success!

By Jerin Jacob (Author of Your Epic Year)

Success! it is one of the topic, written about and read about millions of times from the day man got the ability to comb their hair properly. Many books, articles, training materials and courses are being introduced by some beautiful people, of course they have become extremely successful selling them. Its like showing a plastic cake and taking orders and then using the same money to buy a real cake for himself.

But what is success? Even after this much information overload, everyone has their on philosophy around success. Interestingly many still become 'successful' without reading to, without listening to any 'blah, blah' stuffs.

My intention here is to help you take off your black glared sun glass you are wearing to see success. So that you can enjoy a brand new sunny day.

Okay, many say success is relative and is dependent to individual to individual. I did think that way, till the time I hear 'The Strangest Secret' by Earl Nightingale. He explains, those who have a goal to pursue for, is successful. That is, the journey towards so called 'success' itself is success. To put it in simple terms, as you have a goal to complete reading this article, and you are working towards it by keep reading. Hence you are success right now.

Then who is failure, I know one of your friend or foe is sleeping right now because of laziness and has no goal to achieve. This guy is a failure (unless his dream is, sleep like morons). Using the earlier 'reading this article' metaphor, even if that guy sees this link on his Facebook News-feed, he won't bother to click and read this. That means anyone who doesn't have any specific goal (not necessary a bigger one) to achieve, is a failure.

"So Jerin, are you saying, I am already successful and there is no need to achieve my dreams". 

Not really, rather you should understand that your aim is not to become successful but to enjoy the journey towards your dreams. Not like whining, "He is success, I am not", "He has done it in his younger age, I am aged, so I won't never be successful".

But if you can live with a perspective of 'being-successful-already', your life will be more of fun and happy. You must have seen, all those lazy unproductive people, enjoy life more than you, they chill out and have fun. Because they just don't care and may say "whataaaever!". At the same time you have the greatest of vision and dream, but you just 'wait' till the day you become 'success'. Why?

You take any so called 'successful' people out there, you can see they have come a long way to live in abundance and in popularity. But the reality is, even if there were struggles in their life, they all did enjoy their journey. To be 'successful', you have to feel success right now. Not like, when you have everything you will.

At the end of the day, life is meant to live happily at every second of your life time. So treat yourself as if you are already a 'successful' person and chill out. By the way you are reading the last sentence of the article, if you had not enjoyed reading this, you wouldn't have reached here. Have fun.

“Success is not a destination, it's a journey”
