SUCCESS?? Do you have it?

SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY, NOT A
DESTINATION


What would your answer be on being asked if you were successful? or if you had achieved success? Now, one thing which the above quotation clarifies is that success is something which cannot be achieved. Success is not a materialistic object or a goal to be achieved, neither is it a destination to be reached. Success is something which has to be a part of life. In fact, haven't we all been successful in taking birth? The fact that we all are living proves that we were successful in taking birth after staying for 9 long months in one's mother's womb. That makes us realize that our life has been successful and will always remain so, but only if we wish to. Success is a never ending journey which we have to travel every day. We get many curves and bumps along, we ought to face many potholes, diversions and rough surfaces. They make the journey more exciting and interesting. If the road was too smooth and lonely, what would be the fun of riding on it?

It is not the road which makes the journey comfortable or easy, but it is the direction and focus on the big picture. If we didn't knew the direction in which we are supposed to go, what a misery it would be asking others for it. If we did not focus on the road and rather bothered about things inside the car , we would loose the drive. So, in your journey towards success, focus on the big picture, on the road ahead, rather than small things.
