How one defines the concepts, precepts, and principles that shape one’s understanding of the world and  human relationships, ultimately determines the ease or uneasiness one may experience  while navigating through the world.

As an individual progresses through life he or she extracts bits of meaning from every experience. Those myriad experiences shape how the individual defines concepts such as success, health, wealth, love, and failure.  As that individual journey’s along he or she may default to attempting to measure all other experiences against his or her current understanding. This is what makes success, love, wealth, health, and failure something different for each individual.

There is danger in measuring  every circumstance against pre-defined ideologies. Not every experience can be neatly or clearly defined in accordance to the understanding one has formulated.

Not every loss that one defines a failure, due to pre-defined ideologies, is a failure. Just because things don’t unfold in the manner which one deems successful is not indicative of a lack of achievement. Sometimes one has to alter how they define these important concepts to envision the level of success they have already achieved, in order to draw the much-needed motivation to power forward.

One important concept in achieving success is often restructuring the framework which governs how one sees the world, and move accordingly.

1.Write down the concepts  success, love, wealth, health, and failure and define what they mean to you.

2. Gain an understanding of how you define the world and important principles you live by.

3. Challenge your thinking . Ask yourself why you developed this perspective. Reflect on experiences that led you to define success, love, wealth, health, and failure as you do.

4.  Consider other variable definitions of success, wealth, love, and the like.

5. Use critical thinking to ascertain if  your outlook  is stagnating growth.

6.  Understand that redefining principles of success, wealth, love, and growth for you as an individual is often necessary for growth.

7. Make the changes necessary.
