| hmm...success... success... |
Unang una sa lahat, I myself isn’t successful (YET. I know, kasi I will
get there by God’s grace). So this article is probably for those na
aspiring, dreaming, and craving that success like me, but ofcourse not limited to those who are there already. Ano nga ba muna ang definition ng
success? What are the factors that measures success?
Many will say:
“syempre yung
mayaman, yung may malaking bahay, may kotse and sunod sa layaw”
“yung may ari ng
business niya, successful na businessman/businesswoman”
“yung sikat, popular, kilala ng sambayanan at iniidolo ng
lahat”

Are they right? I would say it depends. Kasi for me, those
are the by-products of success.
See what I did there? “kasi FOR ME”. People have different
definition of success, and usually, people equate success to prestige or
luxury.
Defining success differs from person to person, so para
sayo ano ang depinisyon ng tagumpay?
Kung ano man ang definition mo, always remember the
following because despite defining success by your own means, the following
factors are crucial of whether your “tagumpay” is authentic.
- The Lord
This is on the number one list,
because man’s chief goal is to bring glory to the Lord. So if you think that
your success glorifies the Lord, then praise God and thank Jesus for getting
you to where you are right now, everything we have is by grace alone. Shall hesitation
comes in, might be the time to do self-assessment.
- The Self-Fulfillment
Aanhin mo yung na-achieve mo
kung walang fulfillment? Wala, nga-nga,
emptiness lang. nuff said.

- The Way
For me this is important, kasi
success doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a very long process. And once you
reached that pinnacle, wala na andun ka na, you have nothing to look forward to
kasi naabot mo na yung pangarap mo; the only thing you can do is look back and
see how you got to where you are. If it was a meaningful journey, then your success
is much sweeter; if so then comes…

- The Joy
Usually meron nito kapag nakuha mo
na yung tagumpay mo, and kung wala nito, baka wala ka pa doon or there is something wrong. And that’s why this
integrates with "The Way" in number 3, kasi if your way’s end goal was to achieve
success lang, then most probably you have not enjoyed the path you walked to
success, and that’s a big factor to your life. Or most probably, your defining
traits of success is vague or borrowed.
So how’s your road to success? What’s your current definition of success? Is the path you’re walking on makes you happy? Or are you just enduring something you don’t want to do because you belive that it will bring you closer to the pinnacle of prestige?
here's a nice take away for you guys:
