Success is in the doing

“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”

– Arthur Ashe

Awards, applauses, recognitions are some of the things that are frequently associated with success. But what if we were to consider success as being much more than that? Perhaps we can look at success from an everyday practical sense and appreciate not just the outcomes of our endeavours but also the efforts we put in to help us succeed.

Success to me is achievable with starting something new, with continuing to put our best into what we already do, with seeing to completion what’s already started, with mastering what’s already known. Success is achievable when we amend old habits, when we restart the things we’ve previously done, when we take a fresh look at things and do them differently.

Success can come in giant leaps or in small steps; with practice, with perseverance, with hard work… and most importantly it’s never too late to succeed!

Being considered as the brightest, richest, most successful, upcoming and promising person to have made a mark in the world is definitely a great achievement. However, the reality is this is not something everyone will attain. Not everyone will demonstrate skills beyond their years or emerge as leaders in their chosen field, but everyone can strive to do their best, to put their best foot forward, and to achieve.

Success is not just in the outcome, it’s also in the doing!
