The Success and Gratitude Link (Motivational Speech)

There are so many misconceptions about success
Even the word itself
Success, is not understood by just about anyone
I mean, if you ask most people what success is
They would probably tell you something
That is related to achieving a certain level of money
Or material wealth, house, car, money, security
Many won't know what to say
But what is success really?

Success is nothing more than the achievement
Of you're goals, you're goals not someone else's
The reason most people don't achieve success then
Is not because they are capable but because most don't ever define
What success is for them
In other words, most don't set goals
And from those that do set goals
Many of them fail because their goals are driven by greed
Money driven goals, material driven goals
Most don't have any intention to find what their purpose in life is

Most people don't have the belief and knowing
That success comes from living your purpose
It's not about achieving money
It's achieving a feeling of completion
Those who are truly successful are those who live
What they are passionate about
Their work is lit up with their passion
They don't need a vacation away from work because
Their work is their passion

Another simple way anyone can be successful
Is one word many of us use but hardly any of us live by today
That's gratitude, those who are genuinely grateful for
Everything they have regardless of where they are in life
Financially are successful by default
Because you define what success is for you
And when you are truly grateful
Everyday for the things you do have
Everything else that comes is a bonus

Just about every really great human on this planet
Teaches the importance of gratitude
Ask yourself, why do these leaders, these super successful humans
These super happy giving great humans
Teach gratitude first, before anything else
It's because when you are truly grateful
You, are truly successful
Many believe if they get too content with their situation
They will loose their drive

I can tell you the opposite is true
When you are grateful you are filled with positive energy
That will make achieving your goals much easier
You can still strive for more, you can still achieve more
Just get grateful first
