"Success is making your life what YOU want it to be"
"Remember, success is not a set of standards from our culture but rather a collection of personal values clearly defined and ultimately achieved."
-Jim Rohn
These quotes really hit home for me. For one guy, success may be Greg Weld rich and the lifestyle it permits. The next guy is happy being a social worker and helping people everyday of his life with his 1 bedroom apartment. You get the point. They both feel rich and fulfilled in very different ways.
The sooner you figure out what makes YOU happy in life, the more fulfilled you will be at the end of the road. Also, the more negative influences and parasitic waste of life you eliminate, the more natural fulfillment will come.
One of the many things I like in The Compound Effect is the subject of self improvement. The best way to improve yourself is to be a positive influence on other people and help them achieve success. Those relationships will naturally blossom and you will end up benefiting from them as well. Whether it's your spouse, friends, employees, coworker, or even a perfect stranger. Be the bigger man.
