Why have I not had the same success as others?

Why do some people do all the right things but don't achieve success while others do? This was a question from one of my social media followers. I have four thoughts:

1. we need to be careful about defining success and comparing to others. We only see the surface of others "success". And everyone puts their best image forward. 2. We should distinguish between goals such as earning a degree, job, money, etc vs. purposeful success. Goals help get there but the sense of success and happiness once achieving a goal is short-lived. We immediately set the next higher goal.

3. We overestimate what we can achieve in 1 year and underestimate what we can do in 5 once said a great teacher, Tony Robbins. You may be on your way, "on the court" but you just have not yet arrived. Being "on the court" for the journey is success.

4. You need to have the three core components in place to achieve any outcome: Clarity of purpose, focus (a plan) and action. Want to achieve your purpose? Work with me! This is the heart of the F-DAPPER methodology.
