What does success mean to you?
Success is being able to live and work anywhere you want.
Success is making a difference in other peoples’ lives.
Success is unique for every individual, and you have to define it for yourself.
There is no dollar-amount on your paycheck, no job title, no luxury car or status symbol that objectively demonstrates that you’ve “made it”. Success, above all, requires that you set your own unique, meaningful goals and work hard to achieve them.
Jonny Gibaud from TheLifeThing.com has been working hard over the last month to bring together an awesome lineup of young bloggers from around the world and asked them two simple questions:
What is Success? and How Do You Achieve It?
Jonny asked me to contribute something to the book, along with these cool friends of Thrilling Heroics:
- Greg from Rock Star Lifestyle Design
- Colin from Exile Lifestyle
- Ashley from The Middle Finger Project
- Carlos from Owl Sparks
- Matt from Life Without Pants
- Bud from A Boundless World
- Gordie from Lifestyle Design for You
- Henri from Wakeup Cloud
- Sid from SidSavara.com
- Jun from JunLoayza.com
- Raam from RaamDev.com
- Brenton from BrentonGieser.com
- Diggy from Unleash Reality
And many more.
The SUCCESS ebook brings together 30 great perspectives on what Success really is and most importantly, how you achieve it.
“Written by successful people, for successful people, ‘SUCCESS’ was created to bring together and form a group of incredible global individuals united by a shared passion for Success.”

Succesful is living the way you want.
Being able to choose how you spent your time and doing the things you love (living, spending time with family, working, sports).

Success is being excited to wake up every day to do things that you love with people you love. You don’t achieve success; you work at it daily. How? By fully immersing yourself in that which you are passionate about, while not taking yourself too seriously.

Success is being happy with what you have. And if you’re not happy, learning how to become happy with what you have, or if that’s not possible, getting what you need to become happy.
Happiness is Success

Success – living your life in a positive way and not worrying about things like, “success”. Just “be”.

I imagine that Success may be different for various people. Andthat diversity is a good thing. I think fundamentally, and for me, true success is really discovering what life is all about, acquiring wisdom, and then living that reality and understanding to the fullest.
Great topic and post Cody. I’ll be checking the e-book out!

Success is recognizing all those moments of joy in a day or a week and realizing that life is actually good.

Success is not about achieving. It’s rather our victories over the struggle we face in reaching our goals.

Culture is really interesting to me and something that is really important in business. Culture affects how individuals do business and it is so essential to learn about them. This is what globalization is all about! Its exciting!
