Success to me is ensuring your goals have been reached. It is creating a goal and working
hard to meet the end of it. It can be with something as simple as a workout or eating fewer
foods every day. I think self-esteem is the biggest challenge I deal with on a daily basis. I
work in a very competitive department. It is always about whom you know and what you
know. It makes me underestimate my value as an employee and as a person. I want to
constantly be rewarded for the knowledge that I have to offer instead of embracing the
things that I do know and when I know them.It is important to know both the strengths and
weaknesses because you can use them. The strengths that one has to offer allow us to
overpower the weaknesses and work on them consistently to turn them into strength. I
consider by overthinking feature to be both strength and a weakness. It is very difficult at
times to not let my brain just go 100% at all times like in a personal relationship but working
in the mortgage industry my overthinking allows me to think like underwriters, realtors,
buyers, sellers, etc. Becoming more self-aware will allow me achieve my goals because it
will help me ensuring I stay in the correct path of my goals. My next goal is to ensure I
become a successful business woman. I want to be a leader and help other achieve the goal
that they ultimately want to have. I can help me stay in the path of success and mind
focused. It also teaches me to be able to understand the different personalities around me to
ensure I have a successful lifestyle. I am a mom, a partner and an employee. Creating self-
awareness allows me to know more about myself and how I can be using those core
strengths to my advantage. The different resources vital to my success would be mined focus
and mentor ship. Focusing on my ultimate goal and finding mentors that have achieved my
similar goals in life. Success for me personally is defined by achieving my short- and long-
term goals that I have set for myself. For me self-awareness can be easier for me as I am
always trying to be in tune with how I feel about a situation and take my time to think over
any sort of decision. Self-direction I feel can be tricky because I will often doubt a decision
I want to make and overthink a particular situation and wonder if it is the best decision. I
feel that I constantly must work on my self-esteem and work on truly feeling confident in
myself. I feel that it is important to understand ones strengths and weaknesses and work on
those weaknesses because it will only help you to reach your goals and strive to fight for
want you want. My family and friends are what keeps me motivated and some are great
mentors. Friends that have had struggles will often share with me in what I should be doing
or shouldn’t do. They don’t want me to make the same mistakes as them and want me to be
able to learn from what I can do better. I have an old boss whom I truly look up to as she is
the one who helped me to get into the field of work that I am in now and helps me to reach
my goals professionally. She has built a company from the ground up and has a lot of
respect from a lot of people so I feel that I could really learn many things from her. Success
is defined by doing things that you aim or have for accomplishing. It is a lifetime of personal
fulfilment created by the sense of meaning in your work life. The type of success that is
spoken of no one can take that from you nor can they give that type of success to you. For
you to achieve success in your life you have to be able to take a risk, overcoming barriers
and use the best resources possible. I would say that self-esteem would be one of my
weakest areas when it comes to success. Self-esteem is something that could be used to help
with pointing you in the right direction for your dreams regardless of how others criticize
you also it is someone believing that they are successful in their workplace. For me when
someone critiques me at work my self-esteem goes downward and I have to force myself to
stand firm on the foundation that I have built within myself while working at this one place
for such a long time. It is important to understand your strengths and weaknesses because
you need to get to know yourself and your full capacities. When someone learns their
weaknesses, it would help avoid doing things that you see you won't be of much help doing
and making any type of impact. As you find things that you have strength in your help with
pushing yourself forward and accomplishing a task that you once thought was too difficult.
Having self-awareness helps you too take a step back and look at things for what they are
and being real with yourself by noticing your strengths and weaknesses. Success to me is an
achievement of some sort. This may be little or big. It’s when I set a goal and achieve it or
make a plan and follow through. To be successful for me is creating a goal or plan. I
typically make a list of things I want to accomplish. I consider my options and obstacles
when reaching larger goals and create my plan on how to achieve it. Sometimes I have to
make alternations to the original plan depending on how things are going.I have a great
sense of direction, however sometimes events create a detour towards my success. I have a
difficult time dealing with the set backs. I remind myself to stay positive and focus on
everything good. If I stay focused and determined it creates a better mind set towards my
success. I have felt like a failure many times , so I take a look back on what I could have
done to change the outcome. I reach out if possible, for constructive criticism. If you
understand your own strengths and weakness’, you will know where you need to grow. This
is a important role in being successful. I have mentors , many whom I have worked with
current and in the past. I see success and growth and want to follow in that direction. My
children support me in ways they don’t even realize. I want to set an example for them and
continue positive energies for them. They will be more successful in their life if I install this
in their home life. I learn from personal , professional and educational experiences. I feel all
of this is essential in becoming successful in life. Success to me, means fulfilment. Everyone
has a different measure of success. Success for me is setting a goal and attaining it. I truly
believe that you can't have success without a vision, goal or plan for where you want to
go.The most difficult ingredient for success for me in my life has been self-direction. I feel
like I never had a good direction growing up. So, my foundation was not steady. It seems
like I've always struggled with setting a solid path for myself. When life through curve balls
I would totally lose focus of my goals and dreams. However, in the past year I've improved
a lot. I've set goals down on paper and followed them.It's important to know your strengths
and weaknesses so you are fully aware of who you are. If you know your strengths, you
know what skills you have that can push you forward in life. If you know what your
weaknesses are you may be able to improve them.Self-awareness can help you reach your
goals because you'll understand how you function best. For example passions, dislikes,
weaknesses etc.The resources that are vital to my success are additional skills. Additional
skills will help me reach the next level of my goals that's why I'm attending college now. At
this point in my life, I'm a sponge and I'm taking in all of the knowledge and skill sets that I
can. I feel like the more knowledge that I have the more successful I will be. The definition
of "success" in my younger years was influenced more by financial status and what you had
to show for it, such as a house, type of car, how much money you made, and opportunities
you were able to provide for your family. For the longest time I've struggled with this
growing up unfortunately. We were the family who did not have much, but having to always
be compared to others made me strive for the same just to feel equal. Today, I define
"success" as being able to strive for more and to keep challenging myself and my family to
the next level, thus me almost finishing my bachelors in Business (even years later) and to
keep forward with promotional opportunities. Of the four ingredients for success, I would
have to say that I struggle with all of them at some point, especially when trying to remain
balanced. Influential factors and daily interactions can affect one, a few or all success
components, but the one that I struggle with the most would be self-awareness because
reflection has to happen daily to ensure that what I am doing today remains aligned with my
goals, or whether my goals need to be re-established. Success is defined differently by the
person who is seeking it. To me it's less of an end goal and more of state of living. You can
never truly fail as long as you continue to keep moving forward and improving. I've seen
first hand that when you view success as a goal, and then you attain that goal, you can loose
your sense of self direction. This is something I am mindful of, as I have also suffered from.
Much of the failure in my life, as others would call it, stems from that lack of self direction.
I never had a role model as a child, and I initially attended college because I was simply told
that I should. I was more passive and had no self esteem. So I try to act with more intent
now. I ask myself why I am doing what I am doing, and what my goal is for doing so. I seek
advice from those who can have real insight into my situation, and not random comments
from people who may not have my best interests at heart. The word success means a lot of
different things to people, but for me it means when we set goals in our lives and they are
met. For instance, I moved last year to Nevada from California to endure a whole new life in
my career and in life. I set some goals in my career that were attainable, but were going to
be challenging as well. I also had a goal to position myself in a financial stable manner that
would enable me to position myself to purchase a home in the near future. So far this year I
have been able to over achieve my sales goals and build winning relationships within the
company and continue to break new records. As far as purchasing a new home, I am
currently buying a new home and feel accomplished. Success to me means that when we set
goals and we plan on how to achieve them in resulting accomplished. Staying positive has
help me and my co-workers continue to follow through our commitments without any
negative thought or attitudes. For me, success is accomplishing the goals I have set out for
myself. Being at or striving to be where you want to be in life is a good way to determine
success. When considering the ingredients for success, the one that is most difficult to me is
self-esteem. I have to admit that there have been times when challenges arise, I have had
trouble believing in myself that I would be able to continue working towards my goals. It is
important to understand your own strengths and weaknesses so that you can identify where
you need to work on yourself. Becoming more self aware helps you reach your goals by
helping you figure out what you want out of life. It helps you figure out what will make you
happy and what will make you feel successful. The resource that I feel is most vital to my
success is my support group. Having people close to me that help support my goals make
overcoming challenges a lot easier. I believe everyone has different definitions of success. In
my opinion, success is a combination of things such as, achieving goals, being an example
to the people around you, and the ability to continue to press forward through any challenges
life may throw at you. One of the ingredients for success that I find difficult sometimes is
positive thinking. Sometimes I tend to focus and stress on the negatives in a situation which
often negatively affects the outcome of that situation. Being self-aware of this was the first
step in correcting such behavior. I believe it is important to understand what your own
strengths and weaknesses are. Once you are aware of these things, you can then use your
strengths to your advantage and continue to work on improving your weaknesses. Without
actually being self-aware, you would not be able to pinpoint these things and would continue
down an unsuccessful path. I believe that the support of my family, having a positive
attitude, setting goals, and staying motivated are extremely vital to my success in all areas of
my life. I believe that everybody has different goals, and everybody has different visions of
what they want in life. But in general, I think where we really can all see eye-to-eye his
success as being seen as meeting the bare minimum of any given goal. There's a lot that's
that go into being successful. direction, lot of people are confused on where to even start.
determination, it's hard for a lot of people to even get the drive once they have the direction
to keep going especially when things get tough. For me I think personally finding direction
is never seem to be an easy thing. but once I have it I have no issues reaching my goals no
matter what its scale is.It is important that we take hard looks at ourselves and understand
where we are at when it comes to our strengths and weaknesses. Being self-aware is very
important if you want to progress and better yourself. This in the end will only help you
reach your goals faster and more efficiently. Learning to problem solve and research how to
fix any issue is vital to being successful. I define success as getting an achievement on
whatever you set your mind to do. In order to have success, you have to have a good
mindset and concentrate on the important things you want out of life. I think self-awareness
is the most difficult ingredient of success for me because I know that I have low self-esteem.
It's hard to succeed in something when there's no one in your corner to lift you up. There's
always people around me that try to bring me down. I use to let it bother me but now I look
the other way. It's important to me to learn my own weakness and strengths so I'll know
exactly what I'm capable of doing throughout my life. If I'm self-aware of myself, I believe I
can do anything I set out to do. Only I know what I want to do with my life or can do
without the help of anyone else. The resources I have to help aid in my success is my family.
My family will always be supportive and make sure I succeed in my career. Success is
achieving your planned goal, its a feeling of victory and completion you set forth. I consider
my main ingredient for success is having self awareness being aware of what I need to do,
and what I cant no longer do to achieve what my goals in life. The ingredient for r success I
struggle with the most is probably positive thinking I always try stay positive but I always
some how preparing for the worse and have no expectations incase I fail. I know think
positive is the best way to think in any aspect of your life but it is so hard when striving for
a goal you want so bad I feel like its easier to accept the disappointment. This is why its so
important to understand your own strengths and weakness it can help you appreciate how
you interact with daily life, to know what makes you stronger to keep going no matter what
happens my son is my strength I know I have to continue on no matter the outcome of
situations because I have him watching me. However I believe my weakness is evaluating all
my shortcomings and not believing I an succeed. I need to become more self aware of my
progress and my determination that I put in to achieving my goals , I never give myself
credit and that's not a good quality because sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back.
I consider my mom to be4 vital to my success because she is always rooting me on and
helping when needed, and at the end of the day me being so independent is also really vital
to my success because I know I don't like to depend on anything or anyone. I believe that
success comes in all shapes and sizes. I personally think that being successful is having a
goal or a dream, and doing any and everything in your power to achieve it, regardless of any
situation you might face, or have faced.Even when life happens, whether it is bad or good,
you still hold your head high and push through to accomplish your dreams, That is why it is
important to know your own strengths and weaknesses. When you are working so hard
towards a goal, you learn to overcome your weaknesses. Not only will you be strengthening
your weaknesses, it will also make you feel good, and build your self-esteem as well.
Believing in yourself is way more important than someone else believing in you. Having a
strong support system is an important aspect to have , but what if you don"t have one? That
is where self-motivation will play a big part in your life. Which that will make reaching your
goals even more complicated, but at the same time, making you stronger as a person.
Success to me is when you complete a goal or an accomplishment that one has completed it
makes you want to keep going because the feeling you get from achieving a goal is amazing
as well as a person or thing that achieves a desired aim or attains prosperity. Success comes
from hard work, dedication, being focused and never giving up no matter how hard life gets
success is a dish well served if you keep on the right path which is success you will continue
to grow confidence in yourself. Self Esteem will always play a role in my life that will
remain difficult for me because i have struggled with this most of my life especially my
school years, the way i feel a lot hinders most of my decisions even if it is a great idea i
don't give myself the credit i would just brush it away. With school i want all the confidence
in the world especially with my work i want my talents shown. Showing your strengths and
weakness is important because it shows no one is perfect messing up is a way of life we
make mistakes and learn from them and grow i would like to know what my follow peers
are feeling so i can improve how i word things or simple advice on a topic. Having a great
support system behind you is a blessing, family and friends that actually care about your
success and dedication will make sure you are where you need to be.
