The one we have with others and the silent internal dialogue. There are two types of conversations that we have every day. This matrix of success leads to two types of conversations.īut at the end of the day success for most is an “inside” job. When you add the external expectation of a society to the mix then dissonance arises. So at a personal level success sits for most between “being happy” and “being on control of your life”. The external falls away and the true measures of what success really is are revealed. It seems to fit the dictionary definition that is all about the externalities.īut when the individual was asked what success meant for them, then the measures were a world apart. In a recent online study by the NAB bank titled “ Rethink Success” that interviewed 2,019 people aged between 16 and 70 those external pressures are revealed. Sometimes the truth sits somewhere in between. Is it keep up with the Jones’s or write your own story. What others think can be an external force for good or anxiety producing pressure. Society, friends and family can shape your view of life, bend your priorities and have an impact on our success or failure habits.
There is a tension between our personal view of success and what society sees as “success”. The reality is that success can be seen from two sides. That small question has led to thousands of books being written, countless conversations and much soul searching. Is it measured by a big house, a successful career and a large pay-packet? The Oxford dictionary defines it as “ The attainment of fame, wealth, or social status”īut can we really fit success into that small box? Is the meaning of success much bigger than that? Is that definition losing relevance as more of us move beyond just survival and more stuff to creating a life that needs more meaning and purpose.
