You Think You Know What Success Is?
Success is simpler than we often times make it. When I think of success I think of doing something really well and putting you best effort forward regardless of the money or worldly perks. Simple.
Have you enslaved yourself to your definition of success? Do you feel insecure when you think about success? Are you jealous of what others deem successful?
Well, I want to turn this idea of success on it's head so let's talk about success.

@humanearl,
For me success is not only money! After all if we feel happy for what we did today, that's what I call success! Money is a reward for that success! Great thinking bro! Excellent vlog!
Cheers~
Thanks for the insight!
No of course , you will failed with everything if you are slave of money , success , even feelings . You always must keep balance inside you with all what is important in your life and never put something on the place "if I will not get it I will die/be unhappy/ can't live/breath" . Nothing is worth to stop our life and to stop be positive and thankful to God ))
Every good or bad job has success. Success of the work is always high, people are respected. But to be successful in bad deeds, society has to be disrespected. We all want to get success! And it feels best when there is no success in their own efforts. If we sit on the clutches for success and do not come to success. We have to work day and night for success.
It does take hard work and diligence
Awesome job breaking the norms of society and how an ordinary person should perceive their surroundings.
I agree with you! Success should be based on how happy you are at the end of your day and end of your life. If I die today, would I have done my job making everyone around me better and happier? If so, then I would consider myself successful!
PS - dope Spurs jacket!
Society places tons of pressure on people to conform to these man made standards of success. It get ridiculous after a while.
I love the spurs as you can probably tell by now. Haha.
Awesome post @humanearl. It's so true that hidden in us is a masterpiece. A unique person with unique gifts that no one else has.
Success is chipping away at excess marble to keep moving towards this masterpiece - your notion of masterpiece not the society's or parents or friends notion of master piece. If it were others notion than it would be mass production piece not a masterpiece.
Since you said chipping away at the marble I have a good quote that I love.
I really loved your definition of success, it was direct and simple. I can think of 4 definitions of success:
I'd say that success for the most part is subjective and delusional too in society. It seems that the more people get the more they want. That why I say success isn't really about material things because it would be like trying to hold water in your hands.
Very nice post.
People would like to pursue success and move ahead... It is a journey and not a destination. Here people climb one step at a time but the final step is in the clouds,very far away.... but the steps are definitely rising higher.
My perception of success is a plain and simple objective :
Contribute towards the growth and empowerment of others : students, faculty, other people who need a hand to rise up and reach for the stars. I have been working towards achieving this objective face to face for all these twenty seven years of my life, followed by email, gchat, facebook- message
I like that you mentioned others. Often times we think success is meant for us when really it's about others

I just made a post about much the same thing.
I'm heading your way to check it out.
A really good post @humanearl. I think success is not a general term, it has different meanings to different people. Success is best described by self satisfaction and being truly happy. Personal success comes in many different forms and your concept of being a success might not be the same as mine. If you want to be successful in your life, then the very first thing you should do is to take the time to decide exactly what “success” means to you. Never mind what it means to anyone else, what does it mean to you?
If the concept of being a personal success sounds good to you, take the first step today. Discover your personal definition of success and write it down . I promise that you will feel more successful immediately. Here’s the main point to take away from this post: Success is a multifaceted, personal concept. By defining what that concept represents to you personally, and by taking the time to write it down, you will automatically move your life in the direction of success.
PS: Success is the time when you fulfill all your dreams that you have ever dreamed.
Success is something we all have our own definitions of which I'm not sure is necessarily a good or bad thing. For example, let's say someone say's " I will be successful when I live in a mansion" but when they finally are living in a mansion they don't feel successful. Are they really successful then or is it an illusion?
I really think the idea of success becomes problematic when we tie it to material gain for example.
Success is when you do the work you love and get paid for it ;)
If only all work that you love came with a paycheck. Not all work that we love gets paid so to speak. Like taking care of your children. If you love to do it you will most likely not get paid to do it.
But I most definitely get your overall idea. Thanks
Taking care of your kids is an obilgation and not work for me.
Hopefully with all this crypto and new technology we can figure out a way to pay people for all kinds of other work and not just the "work" we always think of when it comes to jobs.
Yes i have hope that crypto can change the world.
