How do you measure success? What exactly is success?
One thing I can tell you, success is highly relative.
To you it might be something simple like a secure job, solid retirement, and healthy family. Others measure success in Gulfstream Jets, Lamborghinis, and Victoria Secret Supermodels.
That’s life. And that’s fine, we all view this world differently.
What does success mean to you? In my world, happiness is the ultimate measure of success. If fast cars and lavish mansions won’t make you happy, then chasing those things won’t make you successful either.
There are three factors every human being (not just men) look for to improve their lives. These factors directly affect one another, and correlate happiness. Working on each area individually will make you happier and that’s the ultimate measure of success.
1. Health
I don’t care how much money or power you achieve in life. If you are not healthy, there is no way to enjoy those benefits.
Your health is SO important it should NEVER be neglected.
Work out every week. Do both cardio and strength training. Eat right. You’re smart enough to know junk food. A little bit is fine, but practice moderation.
Last, never neglect sleep. Your body needs and craves it to make major repairs. If you’re sleep deprived you cannot focus clearly which will affect your ability to successfully perform.
2. Wealth
Money makes the world go around. It also buys food, clothing, and housing which are basic life needs. When you have money, life gets easier (or at least you won’t worry about being broke, which sucks).
Focus on creating wealth from passive income that doesn’t require your attention. When you quit worrying about money, you have time to focus on love and health.
Also, stay out of bad debt. Credit cards increase your purchasing power but can easily be abused. If you don’t make it, don’t spend it.
3. Love
It’s true, most successful men are backed by a strong woman. God made us both for a reason.
When you find love, you no longer waste time chasing women. That’s a time consuming process that completely blinds most young guys. Think back to college, what did you spend most of your time doing?
This sounds cheesy, but you need emotional support from a woman. This gives you the ability to build wealth and stay healthy.
___________________________________________________________________________
Stay focused on improving these 3 areas in your life. They’re the only things that matter and are directly correlated. For example, if you’re not healthy it doesn’t matter how wealthy you are. Without love you’ll forever be searching to fill that void in your soul, even if you’re Mr. Universe.
You CAN achieve success and happiness, now get to work!
