Personal Philosophy of Success
Throughout the different stages of life, we are most likely bound to be confronted by a desire for success in the respective fields in which we are involved, for example, in sports, academics, business, career or even family. In the formative stages of life as young children, those we hear or see around us, especially at the family level, shape our perceptions of success. It is, however, inconceivable that in childhood one can have a cogent idea and deeper understanding and meaning of success. Even so, it gets to a point in life when one in spite of the diversity and the varied opinions around on what entails success, has to decide on a desired pathway or outlook to embark on. As such, the various widely accepted ideas and insights or strategies on how to achieve success usually come in handy at the stage, and having arrived here, I am now capable of drawing up my plan and ideas of success.
To achieve success, I believe the first port of call needs to be finding something to dream about and apparently believing in the beauty of my deeply held dream. Thus, if one has not gotten anything to dream about and onto which to build an ambition, then some meditation and connecting with one’s inner self would be appropriate. After years of soul searching, I for instance, realized that I harbored a dream and a passion for entrepreneurship with a desire to set up a business in the hospitality sector. I, therefore, seek to pursue the dream in various ways possible, to the point of making it a reality and have in mind widely researching about what I need to actualize to get there.

Beyond identifying my dreams or ambitions for launching in entrepreneurship in the hospitality sector, a second strategy that I would employ is to find a mentor or guide to help me actualize the dream. Since a young hand and mind usually needs to be nurtured by an experienced hand or expert in a given field, I have decided to seek the help of an already established business resource person. I have thus written numerous letters to some hotels and restaurants around my neighborhood seeking one kind of internship or an exploratory visit to learn some things about the business run. Similarly, I have sought a number of appointments with captains of industry in the hospitality industry in order to conduct some question and answer sessions to be properly appraised. I am particularly keen on learning about how and where they started, their secrets to success and ultimately what I need to do if I am to live up to the realization of my dreams.
Finally, it is important to ensure a healthy balance between a full-time dedication to my ambitions and dreams for success and at the same time my health and wellness. Even as I commit to the achievement of success in my dream field of business in the hospitality sector, I would want to keep physically and mentally fit. Adopting a healthy lifestyle regarding healthy eating habits and physical fitness would help me strike the perfect balance between a concentration on my dream career and my well-being. Therefore, in conclusion, three strategies would shape my philosophy of success and help me achieve the targets I have set out. Thus, finding something to dream about from self-reflection, finding a mentor and embracing physical and mental health will go a long way in guaranteeing my success.
