Is success a place or a struggle, a rhetorical question, we all have an innate desire for success, the thought of success is a prevalent and most dominant thought in the world,with thousands of  needs and wants trouble shooting our capabilities, with a rising thoughts, surviving today'and what next. but we have allowed our minds to be clouded with the  overwhelmed assumptions of success which suggests when I am  successful all those needs will be met, lol what a mirage.....an average person in the society seek to be a contributing factor in their life time, say in their family,career, work place,place of worship, and in the society generally, whatever contextual space they endeavor to make a Mark. 
The world is evolving with the wind of pressure that comes from the society, and the interest of Humanity is constantly changing, in the light of this to what end, interest is what has birth that desire in human beings to be successful in the first place, but to what end?....let me not bore you I'm going somewhere..... Success  has different perspective, meaning and definition..... But for me success means attempting to make sense out of nothing, making meaningfull progress, lol sound weird and awkward right? Do we know what we want out of life in the full grasping itself, I could remember vividly how my secondary school days was like I was very ambitious and I had passion for art, craft making, but I still remember how I got that passion it wasn't from within I only reverence the idea that people who are into art work are making it big, so it caught my interest, lets come to think of it, was that even a passion?, was that ambition genuine? Hmmmm..... My piece of advise is find rest in your pace, grow out your root find what gives meaning to your life, the reason most of us spend time struggling is because we have a mindset of comparison, who's doing this or that..... And we fail to ask why, reasons behind what they do. and we fail to be steadfast In our own place of planning, envisioning, organizing and working at our own goals, 
As wonderful as been successful, is it safe to say, failure is part of our success story? Can we say that failure validate the potency of success? Hmmmmm, a thousand critics will throw  a thousand questions at you, i.e how far can you come without failure, is a question that, most of us haven't asked, it's only a measure of what your success story looks like,

Don't be scared of failure it's a process, and this processes isn't a place..But a continuous response to  change, they only shape how long you are willing to pay for the success you demand. Life has never been easy there is nothing as the word easy in the context of 'success' what you called easy is someone's difficulty, so for us to breakthrough let's begin to break our goal, to do list, interest into little achievable shots properly geared with the necessary tools as we look forward to seeing our part time, short term goals and long term objectives come to pass..... What is success without failure? Don't get me wrong I'm not an advocate of failure as unattractive, ugly as  failure may look, it has Shaped my life and I have learned how to minimize and maximize contingencies as they come up...... Life is unpredictable, but the good thing about the unprecedented events that happens to us is that it frame success, guess what! thats where the switch is, turning those ugly, hopeless situations into creative, possibilities.... Let's begin! Thank you for your support and patience to read through.
