How Do You Define Success?

“Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.”
~Arnold H. Glasow

This truly is an excellent quote. Not only is it fascinating but also inspiring.

One of the facts that I discover most bothersome as a teacher and a coach is that lots of people believe that success, in whatever field of endeavor they’re currently striving, is rather like winning the lottery. In fact, it definitely seems from the evidence that they actually believe that success is even more random because they are not even buying a ticket. They’re simply passively waiting.

Lots of people want things–they desire to be rich, they want to be at the top of their profession, they want a successful marriage, they desire to raise great kids, they want to be respected in their community, and so on. But what do they do to accomplish this success? Are they working both hard and smart for their financial goals and living frugally while they do so? Are they regularly learning and striving at their job? Are they showing their spouse love, consideration, understanding, and generosity? Are they spending time with their children both modeling how to become a good person and being generous with their love and understanding? Are they regularly proving themselves an asset within their community by being a great neighbor in each and every sense of the word?

We all know that we should accomplish these duties as I set them out to achieve success in these aspects. Probably I missed something as well. I am hardly an example of success in every area. While my marriage is in fairly good shape, I know I could certainly put more into it. I believe I have a wonderful kid but know well my failings as a mother. I contribute to my community but no where near the level that I could or should.

How do you define success?

Is it money, career, love, marriage, family, friendship, respect, community?

For me, success is mainly about love. How many lives do I touch with mine? How many hearts? Who has been changed by my existence in a postive way? I hope that individuals judge me as a good individual and that if I died tomorrow that there would be great mourning.

If we really want this success then we will set ourselves on fire. We will not wait for spontaneous combustion.
