Different individuals measure success in different ways and on
numerous levels. Hence while setting life goals it is essential that we set the
goals according to our varying perception of success and the degrees of
success. For setting of the life goals it is also important to understand the
importance of success in our lives so that we can enjoy the success.
Measuring Success:
Income:
The measurements of success differ with the individual. Hence as a
business owner you might measure your success according to the revenues
generated from your business. As a website owner you might measure success
according to the ranking of your website rather than by the income generated
through the website. Hence measurement of success is generally a perception;
there are no solid metrics to measure success.
Personal Success:
Similarly some people measure their personal success through their
personal relationships. Hence for such people success lies in caring well for
the families and ensuring a well settled life for their children. For others,
success might be measured by the number of people they help. Such people
consider themselves successful when they have helped finance the education of
certain number of children and by continuously giving to charity to better
other people’s lives.
Comparison:
Often people also measure success by comparing their achievements to
those of their friends, family or neighbors. For such people success is
measured by the level of achievement in comparison to others. Hence if they have
achieved more in terms of purchasing a bigger house or a larger car they
consider themselves successful.
Hence
measuring success is not difficult. All you need is a little planning,
forethought and a strategy. Setting your goals and levels of achievement will
help you easily measure your success be it in terms of income, personal success
or success in comparison to others.
