The Elements Of Success

I was perusing my Instagram page (@glamourgate1) early this morning and I got a powerful message from @weareaton which I thought might be an inspiration to you. Have you set your goal? If yes, have you made set your soul? If yes again, then this lesson is for you!

We all wanna make it in life, we wanna be successful but success isn't the wealth we seek, but the voyage. It doesn't matter whether you ply a perfect path, or you ride on a rough road, you will get there as far as you work towards it.

Steve Prefontaine once said, "Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you travelled from where you started."

On your way to your destination, what have you lost, what have you let go and what have you learnt? How many have you liked and how many have you loved? How many have you healed and helped, or how many have you impacted? These are the elements of the success we seek, not the wealth we want or the riches we reach out for.

If after youve made it in life, and you've not impacted on a soul, what's the essence of your goal? Those who are truly successful don't die, because they are buried in the heart of men and women, beside their heartbeat! Therefore, while you set your goals, don't forget the souls strapped on both flanks of the road.

For now, don't forget to give yourself credit for how far you have come on your journey so far. Remember, this is a process and where you are now is just as important as where you are going. Also, take time to reflect on where you started your journey, if you're losing sight of your goal, look back on why you started in the first place....and mabe have a laugh or two!
