If you're asked to define success what will you say? Probably you will say success is getting what you want. But the Oxford dictionary define success as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
Dictionary definition of success is as a result of the sight of a common and average people. The real definition of success from the sight of the rich and the uncommon people is not written in the dictionary. Sometimes when you succeed by getting what you want you still discover that you want more, what do we call it then? "Bonus of success"?.
Getting what you want is success; and success is an effect, coming from the application of a cause. In 1900 by Wallace D. Wattles. And John C. Maxwell define it as a "journey". The difference is in the thing the successful people want, but not in the success. Success is essentially the same, whether it results in the attainment of health, wealth, development or position; success is attainment, without regard to the thing attained. And it is a law in nature that like causes always produce like effect. Therefore, since success is the same in all cases, the cause of success must be the same in all cases.
The cause of success is always in the person who succeeds; you will see that this must be true, because if the cause of success were in nature, outside the person, then all people that are similarly situated would succeed.
The cause of success is not in the environment of the individual, because if it were, all people within that environment will be successful, and if success will be a matter of neighborhood; and we see that people whose environment are practically the same, and who live in the same neighborhood show us all degrees of success and failure; therefore, we know that the cause of success must be in the individual, and nowhere else.
It is, therefore, mathematically certain that you can succeed if you will only find out the cause of success, and develop it to sufficient strength, and apply it properly to your work; for the application of a sufficient cause can not fail to produce a given effect, by Wallace D. Wattles. If there is a failure anywhere, of any kind, it is because the cause where either not sufficient or was not properly applied.
The cause of success is some power within you; you have the power to develop any power to a limitless extent; for there is no end for mental growth; you can increase the strength of this power indefinitely, and so you can make it strong enough to do what you want to do, and to get what you want to get, when it is strong enough you can learn how to apply it to the work, and therefore, you can certainly succeed. All you have to learn is, what is the cause of success?, and how it must be applied.
THE FACULTY OF WORK
The development of the special faculties to be used in your work is essential. We do not expect anyone to succeed as a musician without developing the musical faculty; and it would be absurd to expect a machinist to succeed without developing the mechanical faculty, a pastor to succeed without developing spiritual understanding and the use of words, or a banker to succeed without developing the faculty of finance. And in choosing a business or profession, you should choose the one which will call for the use of your strongest faculties.
If you have good mechanical ability, and are not spiritually minded and have no command of language, do not try to preach; and if you have the taste, passion and talent on drawing building plans to the core, do not learn typewriting or pharmacy, get into a business which will use your strongest faculties, and develop these faculties all you can.
Beloved; let's develop the right faculty of our calling for success, note: many will die in poverty today, not because they did not succeed, but because they shift from the track of their calling in the name of "i too know", "i know it all", "never mind", never know that they are in ignorant. Watch out for DEFINITION OF SUCCESS PART2. Thanks and may God bless you and give you understanding of the whole matter.
