Success is not about getting money, fame and status. it’s all about getting satisfaction in life. The more you are satisfied, more you will be successful “HASEEB AHSAN”.
People who have good financial status, social acceptance, fame and even being idealized by others are not necessarily successful. Many of them feel depressed, miserable and so empty despite having fame, status and money because their problems do not come from family, society or job. In fact, they are coming from the success of imbalance. Therefore, balance of success is very important to live a happy and satisfied life.
Why is success different for everyone?
For some people the word success means being famous, for others it means being great at some specific career or becoming billionaire. Furthermore for other people the word success means all together, having money, fame, status and being good at one’s professional life and so on. Most of us think, people who are getting $2bn are more successful than those getting $1bn. People always give importance to materialistic things, they don’t consider minor but most important things like good relations, love, spirituality, inner satisfaction which are mandatory for successful life. Further these are most important parameters for a balance life. The foundation stones for a balance success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.
Live a life that is well balanced, don’t do things in excess.
People struggle hard throughout their lives, but unfortunately, they remain unfamiliar with the real definition of success and failure. They set goals and chase for them, but meanwhile they don’t take care about other parameters which are worth taking for satisfactory and happy life. So balanced success is very important, if success is not balanced, then you’ll feel un-satisfaction even after achieving your goals.
Furthermore balance achievements mean, you get something new meanwhile don’t lose other important things. Therefore balance success makes you more satisfied and confident on new accomplishments. Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them-: Thomas Kinkade
Tips for balanced and successful life:-
1. Offer gratitude
2. Set priorities
3. Manage your time, work and relations
4. Stop comparison
5. Chase for satisfaction not for money, fame and status
6. Try to add values in people’s life
Satisfaction begins where comparison ends.
People with balance success don’t compare themselves with others because they know comparing with others is just insult and nothing else. So, set goals, work hard to accomplish them meanwhile stay away from comparisons. In fact comparison ends when you have faith and confidence in your thoughts and beliefs. If we observe life of other people then we will come to know that they have done many accomplishments, but they are still unsatisfied because they always look for those things which they don’t have. Have they ever tried to count all those blessings which they already have ? The answer is no.
Offer Gratitude
Always keep in your mind that satisfaction comes from gratitude.The temporary and materialistic things like Money, status and fame, don’t have any link with satisfaction until unless you offer gratitude. Therefore always be thankful to God for all his blessings. Be kind and grateful to others for adding values in your life because positive mindset brings you in comfort zone and you’ll feel relax, satisfied and more confident. Furthermore satisfaction and success have a direct relation but it’s possible only when success is balanced.
If someone feel that he is surrounded by negativity then gratitude is the only antidote because gratitude has the ability to boost our happiness by bringing our awareness to what we already have. Always keep in mind that Happiness never comes to those who don’t appreciate what they already have. Therefore always chase for satisfaction not for money, fame and status. Spend a purposeful life, set priorities, and manage your time, goals and relations. Try to add values in people’s life. This is a real and balance success.
