Success

Success can be defined in many forms. The proper dictionary definition for success describes the attainment of wealth, position, honors or the like. I believe success is a mental value to a person. I define success as the value of a goal achieved. It could be something small like cutting down smoking down to a pack a day or something major like shredding those couple of pounds. To be honest, one's success isn't minor or major, its what you make of it. How much it consumes your time and soul, is what determines its importance.

With success comes struggle. Like the famous saying, "Its easier said than done". A lot of people can share their goals with others and make it out to be successful. What I don't understand is how others set a goal for themselves, fall short of those goals, and can be content with that as success. I feel as though if you set yourself with a goal and steps towards that goal and complete all necessary steps without cheating, that is where you'll find success.

Many factors can play into what assisted in your personal success. What helps me succeed within the community would be the foundations of family and religion. A lot of these factors can play huge part in everyones every days lives.

Family will always be the sole factor of almost everything that I have done and what has lead me to this point in my life. Without my family there would be no original foundation of support. I look to my family for so many of my struggles. To me, family is the rock in which it solid for life. Like the famous saying, "Blood is thicker than water". Not all family members get along, but family is family.

With family comes culture and religion. As a filipino Catholic, I have learned many values and practices from what I've seen my family apply to our everyday lives. There are many holidays and celebrations that are big to us. They're considered a big deal because that is where we celebrate. We celebrate for good health, family, and success.
