What Is Success To You?
Some people pursue wealth, fame and social status. Some pursue a dream, no matter whether it is glamorous or it seems just so insignificant. Some pursue achievement in certain area of their expertise. Success means different thing to different people.What kind of success are you pursuing?
Ideally, success should include three basic elements: Wealth, Health, and Relationship. It is the delicate balance of these three crucial elements that lead to joy and happiness in life. True success cannot be had without joy and happiness.
Look at people around you and you will notice it is never easy to achieve success with such harmonious balance.
Many people, including the rich and famous, fall short of one or more of these elements of success. Some achieved wealth but lost the health. Some achieve wealth at the expense of family.
So is it really so difficult to achieve success in life?
The answer is: Not if you know what is important to you. If you haven't done so, it may be time to do some soul searching: What kind of success do you really want to achieve in life?
Is success more about inner fulfillment?
Or is it about working hard for more social status and material possessions so as to gain recognitions and admirations from the world?
Do you define your own meaning of success, or do you follow society's acknowledged definition of success? In short, are you living by the labels defined by others?
In my humble opinion, success follows a holistic concept. Achieving success is:
* When your daily work is one that brings fulfillment and self-actualization, where you experience "the flow state" regularly in your daily activities.
* When you are doing things that you are passionate about; that which gets you excited waking up every morning.
* When you live life with boundless energy, due to the optimal state of your physical, mental and emotional health.
* When you enjoy lasting and fulfilling relationships, where there are people whom you could share your joy and sorrow.
* When worry, fear and anxiety is not a part of your day-to-day emotional experience. Instead, your daily moment-to-moment experience is characterized by fulfillment, joy, happiness, sense of abundance and prosperity.
* When you have financial wealth to fulfill most, if not all meaningful goals you have set out to achieve.
* When you have your own idea of what kind of life you aspire to live, and are able to conduct your life activities without concern about other people's comments or opinions.
True success is less about how much wealth or social status one has acquired, but more about having the freedom and resources to live a fullest life possible.
I'd like to share what success means to me. I invite you to sit back, turn up your speakers, and enjoy the inspiring movie below:

The Paradox of Success and Wealth
How Do You Define Wealth?
Everybody pursue wealth, most think that wealth is about having lots of money.How do you define wealth? What kind of wealth do you want in life?
Before going further, this is an important exercise for you to achieve clarity in knowing the kind of wealth that is important to you.
Wealth is an abstract yet simple concept. It is not measure by the size of salary, net worth, bank balances, material possessions or inheritance. It is measured by what it can bring you.
There are people who become rich overnight but could not handle the fear and anxiety of losing their wealth. Their life gets complicated overnight, way beyond their ability to cope. This kind of wealth does not bring joy and happiness. If it does, it is only temporary. Very soon the excitement and joy of acquiring riches may be replaced by other problems like family squabbles over money, worry and anxiety of how to preserve their wealth, starting to compare with other rich people, etc.
Wealth is real wealth if it serves a meaningful purpose for you. Real wealth brings you joy, peace, happiness, fulfillment, and abundance. Following this definition, you need not be a millionaire to be wealthy.
The ancient Chinese philosopher, Zhuang Zhi said: No matter how rich a person is, he needs a bed no bigger than what others do, and he eats just as much as what others eat. Material supplies, beyond the level of our basic need, are no longer meaningful. Beyond the basic needs, real wealth can only be found at the mental and spiritual level. Excessive accumulation only serves to satisfy the ego.
A person who lives a simple life can feel wealthier than another who is ten times financially richer than him. He may be more fulfilled, have more peace, able to enjoy more simple things in life, and experience more joy and happiness. Being wealthy, as what we defined here, encompasses not only physical, but also mental and spiritual aspects of life.
Remember the story of the investment banker who saw the fisherman basking in the evening sunset, and teaches him to go for more catch so as to accumulate more wealth and live a good life?
Who do you think is wealthier, the investment banker or the fisherman?
It all depends on your value system. If you value prestige, social status, financial wealth, or material possessions, then investment banker is definitely the wealthier guy.
If you value personal freedom, a simpler and slower pace of life, quality of life in terms of appreciating the beauty of nature, then you may think that the fisherman is living a richer life.
Real wealth is all a "mind" concept. Knowing what matters to you is all that matter.

Find out from the wealth manifestation master Bob Doyle how to achieve Wealth Beyond Reason:
The Concept of Health
Health is an integral part of success and wealth.Like wealth, health is defined in a holistic way. It is more than having a properly functioning body without illness. There is no point having strong muscle and be beaming with boundless energy, yet mentally unsound or emotionally unstable.
A truly healthy person is one who is not just physically healthy and fit, but also has a positive outlook of life and a good emotional quotient. Although it is true that a healthy body usually lead to a healthy mind, we should not neglect the part of "mind" work that has an important impact on the mental and emotional health.
It is important to observe our diet to make sure our body is well nourished. It is equally important to nourish our mind with good "mind food" by reading good books, watching good movies and/or listening to good music.
Regular exercise such as jogging, swimming, cycling, and other aerobics activities have been found to have profound impact on our physical and mental health. Other activities such as yoga and meditation are widely known to help attain spiritual awareness and find inner wisdom.
A person who has real health is one who has boundless energy, always positive and passionate about life, and daily experience inner peace and deep sense of fulfillment in life.
No body can live a wonderful and fulfilling life without having true health.

Why Is Real Success So Elusive To Many People?
Being aware of your innate potential has opened the floodgate to flush out the limiting beliefs you have accumulated throughout your life. However, the process of eliminating limiting beliefs may take a considerable long period of time, depending on the extent and depth of your limiting beliefs.It is important to understand and realize that real success (which includes real wealth) is not necessarily acquired in the conventional way where hard work and struggle is the name of the game. The fact is, many people are still unable to find the success they wanted, after many years of hard work and struggle.
It may take a paradigm shift for you to understand and accept, that hard work and struggle is not the absolute necessity for achieving success. Numerous studies of successful people have revealed an astounding fact: Success is due primarily to the right mindset, rather than the amount of hard work. Some called it success mindset. Others called it millionaire mindset.
The reality is, success can happen as a result of an internal shift at a conscious and subconscious level. When these two aspects of the mind are aligned and tuned in to the super consciousness, achieving success is literally effortless.
Can You Really Acquire Real Success Without Struggle?
The basic understanding you need to establish, is that all events, both good (such as real wealth, real health, and lasting relationships) and bad (such as financial distress, jobless, poor health, over weight, and family problems), that are happening in your life have materialized perfectly and precisely based on the quality of your consciousness. Regardless of the current state of your life, these events will continue to unfold themselves exactly the same way your consciousness dictates them, be it for the lack consciousness or abundance consciousness.Achieving success could be effortless. Success is not achieved by toiling away at the endless list of urgent tasks, going through the daily grind and suffering the rut of life. In fact, the converse is true. The more we are sucked in the life that we loathe, the more we attract it into our life.
Achieving success required conscious effort to release your limiting beliefs, align your conscious and subconscious mind, and be tuned in to the super consciousness. It may not seem like doing work but it is in fact work done at the highest level: The work of the mind.
When you are able to establish conscious awareness of the limitless resources that are always available to you in every aspect of your life, your life experience will continue to produce outcomes perfectly and precisely, based on the beliefs that you hold.
Before you come to read or hear about this mind concept, you probably have little clue about how much your life can be changed. However, from the day you started to deliberately expand your perspective and awareness to discover the limitless creative power within your reach, your paradigms will be shifted dramatically. You will be able to experience outcomes limited only by the extent to which you "believe" are possible.
With this powerful knowledge, you hold in your hand a master key to unlock an inner power that is much stronger than the Aladdin Lamp's genie. All the impossibilities in your life can now become history. There is no limit to what life holds for you. Your mind is the greatest asset you can ever possess. Polish it, nurture it, empower it, until the day you can harness its enormous potential effortlessly.
While it may sound easy to achieve success with the sheer power of the mind, many people have not been able to do it. Why?
Here are some possible reasons:
-They have never read about such article that talks about mind power.
-They may have come across such mind power readings but dismiss them as "unrealistic" or "unscientific" without the curiosity to investigate further.
-They have repeatedly come across such mind power articles, and are curious enough to have investigated what these mind power concept is really about, but their old entrenched beliefs force them reject these concepts.
-They believed that hard work and struggle are the only way to success. If even these qualities fail, it is probably due to fate.
-People around them never talk about such mind power things. When it is talked about, it is always with skeptics and disdain.
-Their early year education, which equipped them with rational and analytical mindset, does not allow them to accept these seemingly unscientific concepts.
-They managed to overcome their limiting beliefs to pursue the riches in mind power, but failed to commit to the "inner work" with patience and perseverance until they can fully harness their mind power.
We are living in a time where information explosion has become a hazard not just to our health, but has also created a hindrance that prevent us from finding inner peace. Our senses are constantly bombarded with load of information in most of our waking hours. Our ability to connect to our inner-self is handicapped when we are surrounded by too much noise. Unless there is deliberate effort to quiet the mind like doing meditation or yoga, most people will continue to be oblivious or unable to tap their innate power.
However, for those who are able to connect to the Source of unlimited power from within, achieving success will truly be possible without much struggle.
