This title would sound a bit odd... why I'm a citing a quote from a song from Lana Del Rey. maybe because I'm fan of her, but no, I'm citing this phrase because I had always had it my mind before the song came out, not literally but with the same meaning.
This life is meant to have money, to gain it and spend it. commerce is the way the world works. You can live in a life where you don't use electricity, have a nice house that you builded your own with materials from the the forest in a natural place where you harvest your own food... but in the beginning you will need money to buy that land, and then the materials to cut the wood and the nails to build the house, so being in a commerce world is unavoidable.
I was pretty sure since a kid, of this statement and also because I remember the words of my father, one day when I was 12 he told me, "Everything in this world is about money, working for having it, no matter the kind of work you do is always a work and you always have to be paid for, you can work for free, for things like charity but it will no pay your bills"
I told my father when I was 17 that I wanted to have a business, he told me that I should study something first, so I chose industrial engineering, but when I graduated from highschool I didn't really knew what I wanted to study, so I chose that first because that was his option, with time I realized that wasn't for me so I quitted and few months later I decided to chose my mother's option that was medicine. I leaved that career too, because I've always had thought that there's no worst thing in this life to spend your time and effort and money in something that will no please your own self. That includes careers, jobs, love and people in general.
My parents were flexible with me, but I didn't wanted to take any of theirs options so I decided to study merchandising (I always had wanted to study administration, but I decided to study that because I know that I can take a MBA either way) with time I realized I made finally the right chose so I kept studying that career till nowadays.
Success, What is that? I asked myself that question a long time ago and then reforming the meaning of it during the different stages on my life. Usually people tend to give a different meaning of that word based on the way they see the life. for ones means possession of materials things, cars, houses, jewelry, travels... you know things that you can post on instagram that you have. Some others thinks on success like having proud family, healthy, happy, everyone loving each other, doesn't matter how much they would or wouldn't have. Others see success as personal realization, being this or that, being a famous football player, singer, actor, or a professional like a lawyer, a doctor, a politician, etc.
So success depends on you, what you want to reach or have as I say above, so my meaning of success became: Success is everything that you want to reach in this life, that in the end will make you finally happy.
Once you realize that, what you want, what you should think you have to do?
... gain it.
how do you gain it?
... work it.
As I say above too, nothing in this life is free. and in either-way no matter what you do you will need the money to reach it, if you want to be an sportman in the beginning you will need to buy your own things, but if you became successful the brands will pay you to wear or use their things, if you want to be a medicine man in the beginning you will have to pay your career and books, but if you became successful they will pay you the price you want to made sure they will be attended by you, and the same with the other examples too if you want to have a healthy happy family you have to invest in healthy and delicious food, in a nice and warm environment and invest your time in good manners during these people life to made they always not wanting to regret in having a dinner in your house.
So how you begin to work it? Planning it. How do you want to go somewhere if you don't know how to? Yes, you can travel without knowing where to go, but if you ask how to get there on the road, it would be a bit dangerous because if you messed up a street maybe you will be reaching a place where you didn't want to stay, so you will be lost. So how do you star planning? knowing what do you want at first, as I told it took me almost 3 years to realize how to get what I want... but as a personal experience learning how to do it is not enough, you have to cover every detail, I lost a few bucks because I didn't know what kind of product to sell first.
I mentioned another word... invest. in this life you invest (or waste) two main things, money or time, to reach success you have to invest both in the proper things, if not, you will just wasting, and wasting will just reach you to nothing.
In how much time are you planning to reach your success? how much money do you need to reach that success?
I confess that I'm a person that like my things fast (except my relationships lol), So fast in my case meant more money, so when I began to work, I spent just 5%-10% of my monthly salary and saved the rest, because I wanted my budget fast, so I've had to sacrifice a LOT of things to can have that budget in the time I planned to have it.
And yeah the next word is that one... sacrifice. some scientist have the theory that everything in this universe is balanced, that have a counterpart, or can not depend without the other, from smallest to biggest things. So if you had to invest more time and money in what you want is obvious you had to take the time and money you used for other things. I've had to sacrifice time with my family, and sacrificed being in a work environment with annoying people that I really didn't liked, My schedule was very heavy so I sacrificed time with my friends, and also sacrificed in no buying some cool things that I really wanted to have... you know I'm a young dude and I want to dress à la mode
Perfection is not possible, the soon you learn that, fastest the happiest you get. so getting wrong about your decisions is normal, but the main thing that you have to learn is how to correct wrong decisions the fastest you can. If you feel that you get stuck on a job or a career you don't want, change it. If you lost money investing in things that you don't really need, recover that money, if not the same, work for more. The hardest thing to recover is time, if you wasted your time, you can't do really anything but maybe stop wasting the one that you have now.
Remember that quote attributed to Darwin? "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."
In my definition of success, I don't consider myself having it yet, but I keep myself sure everyday to keep in the right direction to reach it. So yes, to me Money (with time) is the Anthem to success... but in my case I don't really care what's your address
