Whats The Point Of Success If You Cant Enjoy

Nothing motivates most people like success; people will do almost anything to attain this mythical destination. So why then isn't everyone successful? The answer is twofold and pretty easy to understand, most people fall into one of two categories; those that are successful and do not know it and those that are afraid of success.

The first category may sound strange, however once you understand a good definition of success, it will make more sense. Success is when you are fulfilled, plain and simple whether are the CEO of a fortune five hundred company or the greeter at a department store, if your life is full and you are really happy, and then you are successful.

Because we have been led to believe that success is somehow measured with money or possessions, there are plenty of successful people out there that do not realize it. That leads to the other category, the ones with the fear. There are people although they may not realize it that allow fear to control them, no one works fourteen hours a day and complains about ever minute and is not controlled by fear.

Keeping in mind that for most fear is your main source of motivation it is easy to see how the majority of people allow fear to control them. The biggest problem with fear running your life is that you will never be able to attain success because the fear will never let you feel fulfilled, and that the fear will take away the one thing that makes us human, our ability to make decisions.

In order to be able to make well informed decisions you must have balance, this means that no one part of your life takes priority over another. In order to be successful you must have not only financial stability, but emotional and physical stability also.

Without these two parts you cannot become successful and if someway, somehow you do; you will never be able to enjoy it. There always needs to be some time set aside for just living, playing with your dog, talking to your kids. While most find the physically fit part of the equation attainable, the emotional side of things is a bit more difficult.

This returns you to the fear and how it can control you. Have you ever met someone that never seemed to get angry, they always seemed in complete control, this is a balanced person in touch with their emotions? Most people believe that emotions just happen, we cannot control when we get angry. While it is true you cannot stop it, you can however control your response.

When you start to control the response you are becoming, more and more emotionally healthy, and more balanced. Everyone would like to be successful; however it is important to remember that without balance you will never enjoy the success you obtain.
