Success is not about money. It is about you. It is about how you live your life. It is about how you treat other people. Success never ends. It expands every day. It changes every day. So when you are running after success, it is important to know what success means to you. Don’t define your success by other people’s standards. Define your own success by yourself. Because it is your success.

And if you really want to be successful, you must pursue success with honor. Success without honor is like eating something terrible. Don’t drink it. Don’t swallow it. Don’t accommodate it. If you do, you will not like the result.

You can succeed. But make sure you are pursuing the right thing. Don’t just jump into something because others are doing it. Don’t just do something to feel good. If you want to grow in your life, feeling good is not enough, doing good is. Because nothing happens without action. You can change your life by doing the right thing. You can change your life by living the right way. You can change your life by focusing on what counts. When it comes to your growth, focus on what counts.

Feelings are temporary. They change. They follow your thoughts. Change your thoughts, your feelings will change. That is why you cannot change your life by how you feel. But you can change your life by what you do, not how you feel. I am not saying that feelings are not good. They are good. But they don’t do much. They can’t change you. You need something that can your life. If you want to be successful, feeling good is not the way, making good is.

Let us face it. We all want to be great at what we do. We want people to recognize us for what we do. We want to be successful at what we do. It is possible. But it comes with a cost. There is nothing you cannot achieve in your life if you are willing and ready to pay the price. Are you ready?

“You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That’s the mark of a true professional.”- Joe Paterno

You can become a true professional. It is possible. If others can do it, you can do it. But you must commit yourself to learning and doing whatever it takes to become a true professional. You must be patient. You must do things differently. You must work harder than others. You must focus on what matters. Because success involves a lot of work. I believe in you. I know with commitment and focus, you can do it. You can succeed. All you need to do is to make the decision to start. Remember, “You are your own luck.” If you want to become a true professional, you must make your own luck.
