Success Drivers

Need for success

Everyone doesn’t feel the itch to succeed. Some yearn for it relentlessly but fail to achieve it; others seem nonchalant about it and are always accomplishing tough goals with poise. Success has distinct definitions for different people. Nonetheless, the Olympic gold for the runner equates the daily target of the minimum wage earner when he earns his daily bread; success is sweet, success is rewarding and success is desirable. That definitely makes success worth the effort needed to achieve it…

Are you on the winning team?

Now ‘winning and losing’ is something we have known at the outset in childhood itself. Being the winner oneself is just one dimension, even cheering for the winning team is imperative; else you’re a ‘loser’. When we spend those large sums of money on attending live games, or betting on racing horses, it’s your respect at stake not the horses’! We gamble, and if we lose, we lose the game, the bet, probably some money, and apparently our self-regard too! What an irrational world this planet has become!

Imperfect Perfectionism

Yes that’s just perfect. The food tastes perfect, the presentation seems perfect, the outfit looks perfect, I took my medicines and now I feel perfect. So much that we find perfect in this world and a lot more that we find inadequate; that gives us reason to nitpick. There is very little in this sphere that is flawless and impeccable. Seeing the good in others is desirable and it helps us build better relationships. It offers less dissatisfaction and more contentment. But more often than not, it’s not the negative outlook of others that troubles. It’s the over analytical outlook towards your own self. The desire fro perfectionism that is ‘ideal’ but not ‘attainable’.
