How many of you think that those who are successful have a formula for easy success in life? We all know success is the dream of every person. It is said that success makes our lives meaningful. But the question arises, how many of you believe that a specific formula for success exists? Those who believe in any kind of success formula mean they do not understand how the magic of success works.

As it is the dream of all to be successful in life, everybody is running after it. Usually, we spend our whole life trying to understand it, but I don't think anyone has the formula to achieve success. In my opinion, those who understand the difference between success and illusion can follow the path of glory and righteousness. However, after a long run, we realized that whatever we considered a success, was nothing more than an illusion, and this idea almost broke my heart.

People usually ask me what the aspects that affect life more: success, failure, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, happiness, sorrow, activeness, and laziness. In my opinion, all these aspects of life have their own experiences, and the most important part depends on how you take things. Mainly, your capability to handle the pressure of a particular aspect will solidify the forthcoming season of your life. When we are not well aware of the facts and myths of life, problems will be created. 

We shouldn't ignore the fact life that is a combination of sour and sweet activities, so how can anyone expect that only success, happiness, contentment, and agility are part of life? When our experiences in life teach us a valuable lesson that without failures, success can never be enjoyed. If we don't know anything about sorrow, then how can anyone appreciate the importance of rejoicing? Dissatisfaction will provide you with reasons for satisfaction, and laziness tells us to realize how crucial it is to become agile for better prospects in life. 

I know that people usually predict that positive things should be a part of their lives, but they ignore the fact that this positivity cannot be gained, even, if expected, without staying more positive in life. This criterion should be cultivated for inner strength. If you keep on moving without delay, then you can get whatever you intend to gain from your understanding.

 If you wish to achieve anything, then try to catch sight of the river and its flow. Rivers do not have any knowledge regarding their destination but keep moving continuously without a halt and reaching the ocean. In the same way, people must realize that those who keep thinking all the time about pains and gains, triumphs and defeats just continue with their thinking and never seem like they are making any efforts to achieve the targets they aspire for.

It has been noticed that sometimes the fear of falling is more than the courage to achieve things. While you follow the path of winning, you never acknowledge the possibility of losing, which might also be a part of that ambition. Losing should not be considered as an end of anything. 

Those who never become hopeless and fix their eyes on the top without losing hope, because despair and rejection prevail around you and the reversal cannot be prevented anyhow. There are no hard and fast rules regarding anything, whether it is success, failure, happiness, sorrow, satisfaction, or dissatisfaction. Believe me, it all depends on the way we take all these things rather than the way things occur.


The whole process indicates that we should not look for shortcuts in life to attain heights because shortcuts mean short relaxation or short success. They will lead you nowhere. Nothing can be achieved quickly when the happenings are fixed to occur; certainly, it will take time to make things possible according to your wish. If only swiftness and speediness matter, then how could the tortoise win the race? 

This tale inspires you to choose when you want to be a tortoise and when you should be a hare. Whenever you find an opportunity to prove yourself, don't shy off in fear of what people will say if you miss the chance of victory. Always keep in mind those who fight the difficulties without getting scared of defeat deserve better in life.

I think every person has different criteria to follow for success. Some people give importance to wealth and glory as the criteria of success while some people give importance to family, home, and rituals, and maintaining all of this is a real success for them. Others consider that a high position, honor, and respect in society are strong pillars of success. 

If it is like this, why does a person look restless even after attaining his aims? How can it be called success when the person, after achieving success, seems less relaxed and more restless? It has been noticed that every person keeps trying to get their share of success. But I want to discuss those who remain restless after success. Why does it happen? I think these restless people are unable to differentiate between being ambitious or over-ambitious.

I must say those who never try to make a balance, even if they don't have any idea of this, it means sooner or later they will regret because ambitions at extreme levels can become both unethical and potentially harmful. If the person is too ambitious and his inner conscience checks him to do anything wrong, a conflict usually arises. They want to attain their goals anyhow, but at the same time, they don't wish to lose their moral values; as a result, they become restless. 

Ambitions may be good or bad, it doesn't matter at all, but the way you tackle the situations and strong desires matter the most. It also depends on how much willingness and confidence you have to move further in your life. We should always keep in mind that excess of everything is bad, so whether it is about your goals or anything else should not opt beyond your limits or ability.

After a lifetime of running, even if something has been achieved, and then come to know that the one we were longing for was not a success but just a mere delusion. As we all know, success has no particular criterion other than how success can be described. What should be done to make everyone understand the real meaning of success? In my opinion, a person who is looking for success should keep these points in mind:

• Analyse your weaknesses and strengths

.• Set your goals according to your interests.

•  Develop faith in yourself.

•  Always be ready to face challenges.

•  Never get scared of failures.

•  Always keep generating positive energy.

•  Don't stop until goals are achieved.

•  Struggle helps to get better at taking various approaches.

 When things are balanced and planned properly, they provide the best. Always set your parameters to measure the graph of your success and never allow others to do so. You should decide the criteria for success. Real success lies in the process of improvement rather than proving anything to the world.

 If you find today is better than yesterday, it means you are successful. Real success always fills you with positivity, satisfaction, and confidence. Your wealth, power, and prestige can be snatched away from you anytime by anybody, but your positivity and contentment can neither be parted from you nor stolen. These two aspects will help you to lead on the path of glory.
