In my almost 5 years of blogging, I have discussed to the best of my ability what I consider real success. One of the most important pillars of real success, for me, is investment. Success that does not reproduce itself in others is not complete. One of the burdens of success is mentoring others and helping them achieve their dreams, this is not easy and it may not be in the least convenient. If what you call success cannot does not give you the ability to guide others with lessons you learnt along your journey, then you might need to reconsider your definition of success. Only those who truly walk the path can show others the way. Success is not just about what you can achieve in your life time, it is about the steps you construct and leave behind to help those coming after you to reach their destination. Most people these days are just concerned about fame and glamour, these fade so quickly that there is nothing about them that would help even the few that would remember them to become better people. Investing in other people takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice, not everyone writes or speaks just for the money. Many recognise that one lifetime is too short to make all the impact they want so they document what they want to pass on to help others. When you come in contact with those who sincerely want to invest in others, the difference is in their passion, their commitment and their sense of urgency. For those whose objective is monetary gains, there is a emotional distance that dilutes the significance of their investment. Success that puts a demand on you to invest on the growth of others is what you should passionately pursue if you want to make any impact.
