Success is Not an Event

“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an

unbeatable combination for success.”

Napoleon Hill, author

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success is not an event

 

Success is not an event . . . . Success is the result of a consistent and focused effort in the direction of achieving your objectives.

 

To achieve your objectives you have to know what it is that you want to achieve . . . . How you’re going to achieve them . . . . and the price that you’re willing to pay to achieve the desired results. Once your objectives are clear in your mind . . . . Reduce your objectives into writing and create the goals for your success journey.

 

Written goals give you a measureable path to follow on your success journey. Your goals will give you clearly marked directional signs to keep you on the right track . . . . and your action plan will keep you on purpose.  

 

Have patience on your success journey as success is not an overnight endeavor. Anything worthwhile requires an element of time . . . . and effort to achieve the desired results.

 

Your success journey will require persistence. Your path to succeed takes on many dimensions. At times you’ll feel that you’re traveling on expressway . . . . At others times you’ll feel that your bogged down on a muddy road where it seems that you’re not making any meaningful forward progress.

 

When you get bogged down . . . . you have to remain focused on your goals . . . . and remain persistence in achieving them.

 

Anything worthwhile is worth working for working for. At times you will have to work smarter to achieve the results . . . . and at other times you will have to roll up our sleeves and work hard. At times you will find that perspiration may be just what’s needed to put you over the top.

 

An unbeatable combination for success is . . . . success is not an event and there is no one single event . . . . or effort that makes a person a success. It’s a combination of consistent and focused effort in the direction of your goals that creates the success.

The only time success is an event is when you make the decision to start down the path of consistency and measured goals. Great Post Lou Ludwig !!

Lou, one of my favorite characters from the film  American Graffiti ,   Joe the Hood, understood this concept if in an albeit twisted way, when he admonished the Kurt Dreyfuss character, Kurt, to not be satisfied after the evening's mayhem:

Lou - the road to success is not well paved and in most cases it is the road less traveled.  Good post.

This is the best definition I have ever seen for success

"An unbeatable combination for success is . . . . success is not an event and there is no one single event . . . . or effort that makes a person a success. It’s a combination of consistent and focused effort in the direction of your goals that creates the success."
