Definition of Success

November 11, 2011 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

The definition of success isn't as clear cut as people think. To me it depends upon the person giving the definition. It is based upon personal experiences and how one has come through those experiences. I define success in a multitude of ways. To me, success is accomplishing goals (for one), but even more so, success is actually destroying those goals. For instance, if I have a goal to lift 250 lbs. on my bench press, success would be 275 lbs. To me it isn't enough to just accomplish the goal, I want to beat it by a lot. You quite possibly would have a different way of defining success. Of course, there is a dictionary definition of success as well. I am also a strong believer that success knows no limits. The only limits are those we place upon ourselves. Isn't it obvious that if we don't attempt to move ahead, the best we can do is sit where we are, but if we at least make the attempt to move ahead the worst we can do is sit where we are? That's why I approached this topic today. I want you to be inspired to try moving ahead. I want you to think as a successful person would think. I made this video to discusses defining success, but also to inspire you on towards success. This success can be in your training or your life.

I hope you enjoy the message I deliver. Perhaps you can tell how passionate I am about this topic. I believe that success is something everyone can achieve as long as they are focused in the right place. You get out what you put in and to me, that's an indisputable truth. I would love it if you would leave a comment sharing what you believe the definition of success really is.
