Personal success came to all levels of my life when I chose to stop listening to what other people thought I should do and did what I knew was right for me.
That included my decisions on relationships, lifestyle, career choice, and religion (to name a few).
Once I took responsibility for my own decisions - the results improved dramatically. I could no longer blame anyone or any creed for the mistakes. I had to take the brunt of them on my own shoulders. But it also made my achievements sweeter.
This all happened about 6 years ago - I changed my life dramatically. My family cannot believe it and sometimes neither can I. It is honestly just that good. My life was taking a quick trip down the proverbial u-bend, and one day I just woke up and threw everything out the window.
I actually burned alot of stuff as a sort of cleansing ritual and from that moment on, made every single decision in my life based on my own knowledge and intuition of what was the right choice for me. I have not asked anyone their opinion on my work, relationships, religious ideals, or lifestyle. I only have one life and I'm going to live it the best I can.
There is alot more I plan to do, but the key I found has not let me down yet so I will be using it for the rest of my life.
Key: I know what is right for me, so I will choose that, whatever it is. Sometimes that even DOES mean listening to other people, but ultimately making up my own mind on the matter and no matter how much I respect the people I love, they do not always know what is best for my life. That is my decision alone to make as I am the only one who will pay the consequences.

Success simply means the achievement of something that you desire. However, if you think about it you will find that success is something that most people hate. This is because success is about being more hard working than others. Success is about doing what most people do not dare to do. It means getting rejected more than normal people, you have to sacrifice your leisure time to spend more time into taking action and turning your dreams into reality.

Mistakes. Having to experience it will make you realise your input of effort in your next step. I do not consider myself somewhat sucessful, but looking back, I've come a long way in achieving what I've acheived now!

Success is a bird who has two wings.
The first one is Dedication
The second is Determination
Both wings are necessary for fly high for the bird.
