No one in their right mind wants to fail, we all would like to think that we strive to be the best we can be. So why is it that some people seemingly fail over and over again.

In the first instance, what is the definition of SUCCESS? It is 'the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted'. Obviously, success is very relative - what is success to one person may not be to another.

Have you spent the majority of your adult life (not to mention a good portion of your teenage years) complaining about past boyfriends or girlfriends and relationships that went sour? Has love turned ugly so many times that just by mere mathematical odds, you cannot understand how you could possibly go through so many disappointing and hurtful relationships? It is easy to be the victim of these past relationships. You blame the other person for lowering your level of trust, forcing you to put up “walls” and obtaining a dreadful viewpoint on your love life. To escape the world in which you are a victim, you must allow yourself to free your mind and look at a new possibility.

How Successful are you? It all depends on the way you look at your life, and what you consider to be truly successful. It also depends on what you use to measure these different valued achievements. Certainly we all have our own priorities, lifestyles, and goals, but there are ways to measure success in your life that are healthier than others.

While we define success in many ways, too often we think of success in terms of material possessions, money and power. We have been conditioned to a large extent to view success in this limited frame of mind, and so many go out endlessly working harder and harder at their job hoping to improve their success and prosperity. What would a life look like if we realized that all the money in the world, material possessions and power won’t buy you fulfillment and happiness. If you were to see someone who appeared to live in financial abundance but had a broken marriage, would that be success?
