Question

Do you think success and everything in life that we get is up to us?
No one also can live your life for you and give you everything you want.Unless of course you were born in very rich family. Do you think that we are the only ones who can make things happen in our lifes? And we should stop sitting on our *** all day and do something.

Answer 1

We are totally responsible, for what happens in our lifes. We can make or break our life, all up to us.

Answer 2

The term "success" is a self defined dynamic and it changes with your experience. In my view, the purpose of life is to progress, evolve, and grow to fulfillment. If one’s activity meshes with that purpose then one’s growth to fulfillment is accelerated. Society emphasizes success on a "calling" which is not merely a profession or job. That is too superficial a definition. A calling must embody a higher purpose. It must involve service. It is the avenue through which one makes the greatest contribution to everyone else. As a result, a calling affords an individual the greatest possible growth, success, and happiness. I believe each of us has a calling and we are all endowed with the necessary talent, creativity, intelligence, and insight to find it and to fulfill it. Here’s my definition of your calling: Something so important to you, that you would rather do it and fail, than not do it.

Tragically most people don’t even believe they have a calling in life. Instead, most everyone “works for a living,” which really means most veryone “suffers to survive.” People have created an unhappy, unhealthy, and unsuccessful world for themselves. And then they turn around and teach the younger generation this same fruitless pattern of behavior, claiming hard work is a virtue, as if there is some great benefit to suffering. The solution to finding your calling isn’t complex. It is contained in the answer to this question: What do you give, the giving of which fills you with great happiness? What could be easier? Give what makes you happy to give. That way both you and everyone else receive the maximum. You have an enormous amount to give. You must give that which was given to you. So spend a little time making a list of those gifts. They don't necessarily have to fit any societally defined category. Just make a list of those things, qualities, characteristics, talents, abilities, skills, insights, etc. that make you an exceptional and unique person. These were gifts of success to you. Now give them to others.

For example, if you are a "gifted" musician. Give your music to others. People find themselves surrounded by bizarre beliefs about life from parents and others with thinking that life is supposed to be 'hard' and that you're supposed to do something that impresses others and makes you seem like you're in control, a success. So, look at the end result of living in such a way, and see that it usually leads to a lack of connection with oneself and those around you. This lacking connection leads to a lack of zest for life and the inability to be passionate about much of anything. It seems to me that living in this way leads to forgetting how to live at all. One may have the money, handed on a silver-plate or earned, but what good is it if without knowing what you really like, or what to do with that money? We need to take the power back to the individual and help people to realize that they possess more power than anyone else does in creating a good successful life for themselves and teach our children there's more to life than looks, fashion, fame--a successful life is about realizing oneself and maintaining the ability of compassion, love and respect for others, regardless of health, wealth, race, ethnicity, gender, cultural or socioeconomic factors. You define your own success.

Answer 3

Everyone has the power and potential to get what they want. Some just aren't willing to get out there and get sh*t done. Sometimes morals, emotions, etc. hold people back. Not that crime is good, but look at successful criminals (not gangs, I'm talking about the mafia.) Then there are those who are willing to risk alot and start companies or businesses. It's all in the matter of will power, ambition, and inhibition.

Answer 4

Yes, we must work hard for what we wish. But, I also believe that sometimes although you have worked so hard and put so much energy and thought to one thing that you really wanted, but if it wasn't meant to be yours, there was nothing you could do.
So working hard is a must, but then again, sometimes you just have to accept that life isn't always they way you wanted.

Answer 5

I think your family upbring has alot to do with it .Good schools . Neighborhood..Like if your parents drank everynight. Then you may to. If your parents did not go to college . Then that family would not think of it as important as others. And if you never had it you dont miss it.
