My Perception Of Success

avatar

I'm actually happy. It's been a while I felt like this. I actually don't remember the last time I felt this happy, but then, I'm happy. Why I'm I happy? I have no damn idea. I think it's how today presents itself... Maybe.

Success is a beautiful thing. We all want to be successful in life. We all want to taste what it feels like to be at the peak of whatever we are doing. It's a nice feeling. I also want to feel that way too, but to me, it's not just about the feeling, but it's about transforming into somebody that will help me get back to he height I was at, even when I fall. In life, falling from a height of success is inevitable, however, I think that if an individual actually works and develops themselves, they can come back to their feet even when they fall.

We all have diverse perspectives of success. To some, being financially free is what they see as success. To some people, their self development as well as their interpersonal relationship with other people is what they see as success. I think individuals subjective perspective on success is perfectly correct. I mean,I respect everyone's perspective so long as it doesn't affect the community in a bad light.

Where I'm from, success is not actually about an individuals integrity, value or worth, but it's all about the money. How much do you have? How much money do you make? Who do you know? What do you drive? Where do you stay? How connected are you? These are the points in the scale which people use to measure the height of success that an individual has attained.

Interestingly, success, to me, is not actually about the money. Money is a confluence, not the main goal. To me, being successful is way bigger than just being on the rich list. It encompasses that by far. Success, to me, is all about the peace I can get. How well have I developed myself? How good is my relationship with family and loved ones? How well have I teach my kids to be humble, hustle, and show care, compassion and love towards others irrespective of how wealthy I may be? In what way I'm I impacting the world? To me, it's not about the fame, but it's about the silent positive impact.

I have seen quite a lot of things in life. I'm not very experienced with life, but I'm experience enough to know that finances is not success. Yes, I want to have money. Yes I'm hustling to have lots of money, but no, I don't count being rich as being successful.

That's all from me, thank you for reading

I love this vibe,pure, unfiltered joy spilling over and that raw reflection on success hits deep. It's refreshing to hear someone owning their happiness without overanalyzing it, and your take on success as peace, growth, and quiet impact over flashy metrics? Spot on, especially in hustle-driven cultures where wins often get measured by wallets.

You're right that falling is part of the game,life's not a straight climb. What keeps us bouncing back isn't just grit, but that inner toolkit: self-awareness, relationships and purpose.
Money chases are tempting (necessary for basics like family security),but chasing it alone burns people out.I've seen folks grind for riches, hit peaks, then crash hard without that deeper foundation.

True success? It's having enough to secure your world, mentor others,stay active with family and share insights that fire people up,all while sleeping soundly.
Balance comes in blending both worlds. Hustle for the bag to fuel your impact (teach those kids humility and smart moves), but anchor in what money can't buy: peace from meaningful bonds and personal growth. @nwothini335,you are already ahead by feeling this happy,lean into it.Thank you for sharing 🙏.

your take on success as peace, growth, and quiet impact over flashy metrics?

You got that right.. my views on success is not just about flashy things. Like I said, I see those as a confluence, it necessarily what I'm after in life. That's just like an additional stuff I seek.

Many of us talk about finances, wallets and material things, but then, we lack legit purpose. My views? If we have all these monetary things, would our relationship with people be genuine? Or would they just want us for what we have and what we can offer.. wouldn't the relationship with people be transactional rather than genuine and natural? Subjectively, I think there will be false chemistry if money or other material things are involved.

I've been by the bedside of rich patients, and I've been by the bedside of poor patients. The poor wish they had money to save their loved ones from an illness, while the rich wished they had genuine relationship with people, they wished they did things right, and they wished they impacted their children in a good way.

Now the question is, why call it success if there would be regrets while on your death bed? Hope you're understanding my point? To me, success is way more than money, and what it can buy. Yes, I want to make money, yes over 40% of my efforts are to make money, but then, when I think of it, I don't really think money is everything I want. However, like I said earlier, money is an added confluence.

In summary, just create a balance and let moderation leads.

Your bedside stories cut right to the heart ,rich regretting empty relationships, poor yearning for means to protect loved ones.That's a profound lens and it nails why slapping "success" on a fat wallet alone feels hollow.

Deathbed regrets don't lie:if it's all transactions and no genuine bonds, was it success or just a high-score game?Money is crucial, though,not as the endgame, but as rocket fuel.It buys security (healthcare, family stability), freedom (time for growth and impact), and leverage (philanthropy, mentoring kids right).

Without it, good intentions get stuck like those poor patients wishing for resources. But over-index on it and yeah, relationships turn fake; people orbit the cash, not you.

That's where your balance shines: 40% hustle for the confluence, the rest on purpose, peace, and people. Moderation keeps it real,enough wealth to amplify your quiet impact without letting it eclipse genuine connections.
