Success Knows No Boundary – Quotes

Success is subjective as all of us have different goals and ambitions that are unique to our personality. The goals may be personal, professional, financial, relationships and other areas. Regardless of the goal, all of us want to be successful at whatever we have set out to achieve, however big or small.

Success is not defined by big or small, but how we go about it.  Dreaming and visualizing the goal is just the first step. As soon as we set off on the path to achieve the goal/s we come across several obstacles.  It is how we navigate these obstacles that transforms us and gives us the fulfillment of achievement.  It is not actually the achievement  of the goal itself. For instance, if you got your dream job the very next day after you thought about it, it would not mean as much. But if you struggled and toiled for it, and then got promoted, you would relish the experience of success much more.

Those who have the drive, passion and intense desire to succeed never give up on themselves, despite the pitfalls and failures along the way.  They take the time to reflect on how to fix their mistakes or shortcomings and are back working at it with full zest. Remember, the sense of failure is all in your mind. But if you view these setbacks as  stepping stones and as an opportunity to hone your capabilities, you will feel like a success attracting magnet.

If you have reached a reflective point in your journey, then it is time to take a pause.  Below are a few quotes by successful personalities for whom success was the result of their time, energy and effort spent and the adversities they overcame.  You can use these quotes during your reflective moments to get motivation and a little push towards realizing those goals.  Good luck!
