Whats the difference between someone who makes a success of life and he who doesnt?

Question

Why are some people healthy physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally and have success in all areas of their lives

Answer 1

(Edited for clarity)

Many factors. Values, luck, talent, commitment, expectations, Family

Values: Successful people adopt the values of the people they work for, or they find people who have the same values to work for.

Unsuccessful people are either in a job, relationship, etc where they don't fit, or they are focused on their own things that aren't compatible with what other people value.

Commitment: Values trumps commitment, because you can't commit to something you don't value---for instance some people really seem to adapt easily to being a cog in a machine that creates revenue and little else.

UNLESS...

Family: If you have children, anything you do to provide for them is good... The concern about "values" disappears, and the goal becomes to make money hand over fist. For many, there is nothing they wouldn't do for their family.

Expectations: People who know what to expect from a situation are more likely to be successful than people who go into a career or relationship expecting something different.

Luck: Or... some unsuccessful people have the talent, adaptability, etc, but they get rejected somewhere along the line, because of something completely out of their control, take it personally, and give up.

Answer 2

Sometimes people are just lucky or unlucky for that matter, often they make their own success and happiness. There is no fixed rule. Some people work hard, keep healthy, jump through all the hoops to maintain this then along comes a chronic disease to devastate them physically, mentally and of course financially. Spiritual strength if developed, can sustain, and as a nurse, I have seen people running on that alone and nothing else. The opinion I have formed is it's all random where the bad and good luck hits. Even the religious people have quoted "Man plans and God laughs". Sounds pretty bleak but still the opportunity to try and succeed on this earth is a big break for all of us.

Answer 3

the person who is content with themselves and happy with themselves as people are a success in my opinion. For example i know this really idiotic person who claims to be 'successful' yet the guy is a joke and you can tell he hates himself and tries to bring others down at every chance he gets. Maybe hes not really successful because in my opinion someone who is a success wouldnt act that way. On the other hand i know a guy who really isnt that successful in societies terms yet hes respectful, confident and minds his own business. If youre content with yourself and others, no matter what you do, i consider it noble and successful. Also I judge success with being able to follow through with something till and end but i never make judgements on that because i dont know exactly the circumstances in the persons life.

I believe everyone succeeds and fails in some way yet its the one who dosent give up that makes it.

Answer 4

My question would be,What is the true measure of success? I have seen many kinds: A man who was Bi-polar and Schizophrenic, brilliant but could not hold a job and raise his children yet he loved to help people,he would do anything for them, fix things, help with homework, listen, encourage, drive them to appointments. He had no money and most would have looked at him like a mere crazy, street person, a failure. In my eyes he was a true success because of how he treated humanity. Thus Successful. I believe the true measure of success is not what we have in material items, but how we treat others on this planet while we are here. If you have invested in your human family, their lives, feelings, their joys, failures and overlooked their short comings the you have truly been successful.

Answer 5

Depends what you call a successful life.NO,nobody is ever successful in all areas of his life,Every body has to have a vision about their life's mission and work to achieve it.Some people would always fare better than others but that's life.

Answer 6

psych studies have shown that thinking in a certain way can actually make you act it. some people tend to be successful because they are happy of what they had and have and are positive to what they will be having. being happy and feeling enigmatic or active tend to create cirsumstances around them to uplift this feeling of happiness and stuff.

this sounds so simple that hardly anyone believes it. but in reality, it happens. be clear on what you have and not what you do not want since focusing on things you do not want creates situations where you think of all those bad things. thinking of what you actually want will actually help you.

>_< i hope your future will be great!
