A couple of weeks a go I saw an interview on TV with, as it turned out with quit an interesting man. This man is famous for going from zero to make billions in just a few years. But after just two years he was practically flat broke again. He got cocky and thought he was Goods gift to the financial world, and lost all he's money in aggressive stock trading. He is back on he's feet again doing quit well with a new telecom company (LUDO).
The interviewer ask him at one point: When you look back in retro, what is your best memories from this period? Well it was very nice to have all that money and enjoying the freedom they brought, but the journey to the so-called "success" was far better. And the reason in this: The juice was somehow gone, no challenges anymore just a lot of money. I was bored and it was a completely new experience to me. I thought the money would make me happy, like most people do, and man was I wrong. It made me ultimately play hazard with my money, and the rest is history. The most rewarding time of my life was the journey to the so-called "success". I was challenged all the time. I was constantly learning new things, bringing value to my life, to my family, my friends an co workers. It is from this period I am able to give back to my kids and hopefully be a good example to other. Successful people fail, and failure can make you successful.
So success isn't always what we think it is. Who haven't thought that if I had that kind of money, my life would be great? I know I have. But the fact is that most successful people say the same thing: The journey to success is often more rewarding than the so-called success itself. And the reason is this: We are all driven by the same human needs, and two of our fundamental needs are to grow and contribute. We are constantly learning on our road to success, and when we learn there are more of us to give. This gives us a feeling of fulfillment, that our life has purpose and it is one of the most powerful feelings we can generate. I don't say that money is a bad thing, on the contrary money will make our life a lot better. However we must not lose the sight of the real goal we have: To live a life with purpose.
This is very often seen with people that have everything you can imagine of money, wealth and commodities. The money and properties itself will not make anyone happy in the long term, but to live a life of learning, love and leaving a legacy does. Our life is a journey, and to truly live you must try, risk and sometimes fail. Think about it.
Successful people fail, and failure can make you successful.
To Your Success!!
