How to achieve success in your life by doing what you love?

We all seek in one way or another to succeed in our lives. If you want to know some of my ideas of how to succeed in life without much effort? Give me a little of your time and I will explain my philosophy of life on how you can achieve the success that you are really looking for.

When we do something that we like, that we love to do or that is part of our personal expectations as individuals We feel happy with ourselves in what we are doing. Effort is something we never noticed! That emotional peace also tells us that we are on the road to success. This is the principle on which my personal philosophy is based to be successful.

Can success be achieved without much effort? It depends on what effort it means to you! I’m not talking about playing the lottery or being born into a rich family or being the son or daughter of a famous figure. Nor am I talking about that success that only exists in your mind. Nor am I talking about this kind of success idealized by sensationalist media whose sole intention is to draw attention to people, creating unrealistic expectations or the illusion of success where it does not exist.

On the other hand, when we need a great personal effort to do what we are doing, when we do it with a sense of social, family, personal or economic obligation, we are not looking for success, we are fulfilling personal expectations that we as individuals impose on ourselves by our desire to fulfill the demands that society imposes on us, which produces a sense of relief not personal success.

Although we may have the impression that we all know what it means to succeed in life, this sometimes idealized expression, it's meaning depends on what goals you are trying to achieve. The idea that each individual has to understand success determines the intensity of personal satisfaction when a goal is reached.

We can all see the subjective nature of these results, where everyone, especially in western societies where success is measured according to the material possessions or level of fame that the individual achieves, which differs in societies where success is measured under other parameters . Where spiritual goals are important, reaching transcendental states is something that many seek and the connection between people with the nature. For them are,  the most important source of success. Every success has a subjective character!

How do you define personal success? When a child takes the first step, can this be considered a personal success? When a boy finishes high school, can this be considered a personal success? How about a person who becomes president of their country, can this be considered a personal success? We all come to the same conclusion. Success is the personal satisfaction felt when we reach a goal that is important to us as individuals.

What is the difference between each of these successes? My answer is; none! Because each of them produces the same level of personal satisfaction and joy when we achieve each of these goals.

When someone talks about being successful in life, it falls within what I call generalization in which transient events are given a permanent character in the way we define these events and the impact they have throughout our lives. Which is semantically correct, but incorrectly used. Success is not a permanent emotional state is a sense of transient satisfaction.

Nobody has a successful life, because life is not a situation frozen in time, life is an endless process that starts from the first moment we start breathing and ends with our last breath.

“I have a successful life” This expression gives the impression that our life is an existence when we all know that it is not so. We all have successes in life, as we all have failures. Therefore our life is not a success, nor is our life a failure. Our life is what it is.

Succeeding in life without effort is when we do the things we love doing, when we do the things we really like, and when we achieve those goals that produce personal satisfaction, not the kind of social success imposed on unrealistic expectations.

The search for that superficial or ideal success creates in us unnecessary emotional pressures, because the success we are trying to achieve, in many cases, is outside our human condition as individuals given our lack of talent, social position and real opportunities to achieve it.

We all have successes in the passing of our lives, that does not mean that we have a successful life. On the other hand, we have all had failures in our lives that does not mean that we have a failed life. I hope you understand my point of view! Successes or failures depend on what expectations you have of yourself and how much you value this success or failure.

How to succeed in life without effort? For that we must throw aside the search for that sensationalist success imposed on each one of us as a model to be followed by you as an individual, in a society that determines what is a success or that is a failure. We have to learn to do our own thing based on our own expectations not what society tries to impose on us.

Let us use our energy trying to fulfill those personal goals that produce happiness from the first moment that we trace the path to reach them. Only you must determine what the word success means to you. Never let others define the meaning of the word success!

Big goals have the same meaning as small goals, when you achieve them. It all depends on the level of personal satisfaction that they produce when they are part of your life. Success is not determined by the steps you take in your life to achieve it, much less personal effort is used, success depends on the attitude you have when you try to achieve a personal goal that makes you really happy.
