The Common Factor Between the Successful and The Unsuccessful

Whenever you see an article with the title  (Number) Successful People on What Success Really Means, the answer is obvious. It's not the billions in your bank account which counts for success - it is things other than money. But I have always wondered, why hasn't someone asked the same question of Unsuccessful people?

I believe the common factor among both the successful and unsuccessful set of people, would be a sense of inadequacy - of not being complete. The expression of this inadequacy varies at different stages of our life. The solution lies in knowing and understanding that happiness is a goal with shifting goal posts. Very few of us will have found the right answers to deal with this challenge in our lifetime.

Life is Choices

Actor Salman Khan says it Is difficult for him to deal with the dichotomy of perception. In his professional life, people see him romancing pretty girls, travelling to fancy places for film shoots, hosting shows, laughing, responding and giving advice, and they think he is having a good time. But, he says, with the verdict of the court cases against him due shortly, people have no idea what it takes for him to smile and romance on screen and do justice to his work.

#MyLearning
That work and life are two separate and contrasting entities of our lives is a dichotomy of perception They are just one - LIFE, and being happy is an outcome of the choices we make.
