Success

 Success


How can you measure success? There are many ways of measuring what success is, how successful something was and why it was successful. I believe that the degree of success of something can only be measured based on the standard of success. If standards are set low, the degree of success is a lot more manageable. But in return, it is less satisfying. If standards are set high, the degree of success is extremely difficult to reach, but more satisfying if reached.


So how can you set the success standard? You must establish a threshold where the success feels fulfilling but also ignites motivation and more future success. 


If one sets the success standard so high that the climb to the top is so exhilarating that the idea of doing more seems insane, the result is failure. But success is different in every person. Some may feel like a high success standard is manageable, and therefore they continue creating more success and achieve more than someone who sets a lower standard of success. 


What you must do is pinpoint what you want your overall success in life to be, and then establish benchmarks for getting there; these are your success standards. The formula: establish why, create stepping stones, celebrate successes, repeat. 


Do everything with a purpose. Live each moment as a step in your journey to the ultimate life you want to create. The question you must ask yourself is: What am I doing today that is getting me to where I want to be tomorrow? Once you have instilled this mindset, the motivation wheel will never stop turning.

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...
