Then it takes doing everything in your power to make it happen without excuses.

Define successful..It's different for each person.

it's enough ... and very easily more important than any material possessions

that's a very expensive list of wants in the western world, Goudy.

Is it really?
I would say the health is the biggest wish.
If you have your health you are very rich. By major worries I mean sever financial problems/war/conflict etc This is easily enough avoidable in the Western World. I am simple with no huge aspirations of fame or fortune. I just wish to maintain my health and at the end of each day think that more fun/enjoyable/pleasant things happened to me than bad.

yeah, but you have no rent payments, no student loans, no kids to feed. you could get by for a month on a week's pay most likely, i.e. if you disappeared off the planet, no one would notice.
as i get older, i'm getting less judgemental of people, so how you live your life is your choice, just stay out of mine. but for me personally, a clusterfuck of a life is a new norm, as is for many americans i believe.

I want to be successful which is why I'm a believer in the teachings of Jordan Chase

I want a MUTHERFVCKING FERRARI...but I ain't willing to "get rich or die trying"
So, I am willing to compromise...I'll have a "Ferrari" state of mind...to exist in a state of mind in which happiness, sensuality, and overall euphoria...
yeah, like that will ever happen...

I agree. I have no kids which are a huge cost mentally and financially. You will worry about them I sure when you are 90yrs old and sitting in a chair being looked after by nurses.
I have bills to pay, student loans to pay back (£14,000) granted no kids. I recently gota good job which if I keep at it sets me up quite well financially. By no means will I be rich but even if I had 2-3 kids withing the next 2 years I would still be financially fine I think
At the end of the day I just think I am a very simple person. Maybe this means boring or lazy but maybe it is just a mix of my natural character and my life influences. By not pursuing anything vehemenently and relentlessly I will never amounbt to anything enormous or insane. But I will also never crach and burn in a spectacular fashion.
Nice marrige with a good woman, some kids and good health I would be very happy.

I've had insomnia once in my life...2.5 months ago when I came off of weed....I don't wish it on anyone...one of the worst feelings ever...being tired but not being able to sleep...enough for me not to ever smoke again...

superior nutrion=superior health=superior success

that does NOT make you boring nor lazy for that matter. Different people want different things is all.

I've always had a problem sleeping fixed hours during the night. Now, I can sleep whenever I want, so I just crash after being up for 18 hours or so, sleep for about 7 - 8 hours and am fine. Just can't sleep the same hours everyday, since my sleeping hours shift and vary each week.
You can't do that if you have a 9-5 job, of course.

I just wanna be a loser stoner.

Yea I've been there too.. watching the clock tick every hour, anxiety building up... not a good feeling.
In my case exercise, melatonin, calmag mix seems to help...
Do you take anything for it?

Yea will I got news for you- Being finiancially secure is pretty damn impt! ( Notice I didn't say living an extravagant lifestyle)

It may very well be important .. to you .. and many others ... but I think in varying degrees it's all in how one views what finacially secure means .. in as much as what successful means ... it's up to each person to determine what will make them successful and what their needs are to feel "secure"
you can make anything "important" :-\ .. some peoples shoes are important to them ... or you can just really just not "need" to be financially secure to be satisfied ... and satisfied = important and successful :)

It really comes down to fully realizing your God-given abilities/potential. You owe it to yourself - and God.
You must strive to make the most of yourself.. how can you live with anything less?

people are either happy or not. there is about 9 levels of happiness. whatever level you are at you pretty much stay at. it takes pretty aggressive self analysis and effort to change your preset level of happiness. anything external, money and materials, can temporarily alter your state of happiness, but you revert once you are accustomed to your new possessions. thats why you can see people in wheelchairs smiling while people in Ferrari's might be miserable.

living below your potential, trust me, it's not too bad once your used to it.

I'm not ready to "shut 'er down" in life

I’m sure its just about as easy as drinking your life away.
In my eyes... its an epic fail.
But that’s me - I’ve still got shit to do.. and I feel the need to press on.

ya, that's a big part of it. i'm not sure what happened somewhere along the way. the way i live today would have completely disgusted me back when i was 25. i would have looked at someone who is as lazy as i now am as a complete waste of skin.

I guess I do. I just took a major promotion to move to San Diego from NY. My fiance broke up with me because she doesn't want to leave her job, or move away from her family.
I'm not turning around, because I deserve this job.

Many people believe that your state of mind near the end of your life will be your state of mind in the beginning of your next life. I wouldn't wont to be the guy who succeeds early on and then loses it all and becomes a miserable fuck. A slow steady movement towards consciousness seems like the smarter way to go.

Know this about "motivational trainers": they don't know shit. In the real world, they wouldn't survive 10 seconds.

It's been said that a soul picks the body it will inhabit by looking at the akashic records of what the person may achieve in life...
Ever notice that the people who have made the greatest social impact for humanity all had similar aspects in personality and they way they have lived their lives...? Ad have you ever notice that those who have achieved military greatness all exhibit similar personality traits, and live their lives in similar fashion?
Same for the criminals as well...

It doesn't matter how bad you want success, or how willing you are, if it's not your destiny.

Nope.
I got a job on a graduate scheme with a govt organisation so am very happy. Still based in city center etc just more of a career.

Unfortunately, most capitalist turn to some form of criminal behavior but never get caught doing so.
