To be successful, one must first understand what success means. Success is achieving goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. Whether a goal can be easily achieved or not depends on how strong one's love, need or willpower is for that goal. Goals that align with basic needs like food or wants that have become needs due to societal influence are easier to achieve, while goals simply based on wants require greater willpower to succeed. True success comes from achieving personally meaningful goals, not those imposed by others.
