luxury hotels in NewcastleEverybody measures success by a different yardstick. What some people view as success, others may view as failure.
ERROR MSGWhat is success? Success is accomplishing what you have set out to do. Your definition of success is defined by the goals you set.
If retiring early and never having to work is your definition of success, then many homeless people have accomplished that. However, to most homeless people success is defined by having a roof over your head and a meal in your belly. The problem is, that in order to obtain success, 3 things have to happen:
1) You have to set a goal.
2) You have to work toward that goal.
3) You have to achieve that goal.
The level of your success is only limited by the level of your goal, and the actual achievement, or lack thereof. The names have been changed, but the stories are true.
Three Success Stories:
Rob started a TV repair shop. He had 5 employees. After a time, it went belly up, the employees went jobless, and in dispair of the lives he had (possibly) messed up in the process, he went jobless and homeless for a time. Rob had job skills, but lacked the social skills to go on. He'd lost his drive and comittment. Rob graduated from Steps Up. He read the coursework and learned lifes lessons. He found that he also had other job skills he hadn't tapped yet. Now he works as an engineer, and earns $60,000 a year. He has since been married and has children. He has a healthy stock portfolio and is looking at an early retirement. Rob is a success.
Norm was an artist. The starving kind. He was good at sketching and drawing, but lacked other skills that made him marketable. He went through the program. He learned life's lessons. With a new found dedication and determination, he learned more skills. Now he works as a broadcast television production director, and makes $50,000 a year. He is even looking at starting an art gallery on the side. Life hasn't always been easy. Norm went through a rough divorce, but he is moving forward in life. He is not giving up, because he has learned through the program, that no matter how bad it gets - you just can't quit. When you have fallen, and are laying at the bottom of the cliff - the ONLY way to go... is UP. Norm is a success.
John got out of the army. He was a pretty good mechanic while he was in, but now that he was out, he was afraid of failure. Deathly afraid. He had a wife and kids to support, and the army was all he knew. He didn't have any of the certifications that mechanics are normally judged by. Living off others was his only hope - or so he thought. It took a push from the program to make him realize that he didn't have to work as a mechanic. He learned life's lessons. He drove trucks around in the military when he was fixing them. Now he works as an over the road truck driver, and enjoys his life. He now plans to purchase his own truck and start his own business. John is a success.
These are 3 success stories. There are many more. All these people set goals while in the program. They were all taught similar lesson plans, but each was catered to their own personal skills and education level. They worked toward their goals. Now they have achieved their goals, and are setting new ones.
