The principal emotion people associate with success is pleasure, many do not imagine that success can be a burden. With success comes influence, people want to be around successful people. Successful people become a sort of compass for those who are focusing on getting somewhere with their lives and this becomes a "burden" to the one who has to help others arrive at their destination. There is this underlying pressure on successful people that makes them project what they want others to see rather than who they really are. The only way to resist this kind of pressure is to just be yourself always. Many successful people put undue pressure on themselves trying be something to everybody. This is why it is important to understand who you are and always live in the integrity of your core values. Concentrate on your sphere of influence by remaining passionate about your purpose, do not focus on the approval of people. When you know what you are pursuing and you keep your eyes on it, people who need to follow your example will do so without your setting out to impress them. You do not need to impress to have influence, you just need to be genuine. Do not be in a hurry to succeed, just develop the passion to live with intention. Build a life on your core values and a passion for your purpose and your influence will become a lifestyle. When your influence is a lifestyle and not a need to impress, no matter the level of your success, influence becomes natural and not a burden. Enjoy your day!
