Most people privileges do more harm than good. Normally, after a person succeeds and gets some privileges (money, fame, awards), there is one of two things.
- We forget about the reason for the success and think only about its consequences. Instead of improved in the businessWe rest on our laurels. Therefore, children of successful people so often do not succeed. They see only the fruit, but do not know the assumptions.
- Or do we experience constant stress due to the fact that we should continue to do well. Many can not cope with it and even lose their careers.
Success and achievement - it's not the same
The difference between the concepts of "success" and "achievements" at first glance is not noticeable, but in fact it is very significant. Success - this is our subjective feeling, and achieve - the objective reflection of what we have achieved. You can have a lot of achievements and not be at the same time successful.
It happens quite often that people who have all the external indicators of success, feel lost and do not remember why, when something began to strive for their goals. What once was a true passion for them, it has become a requirement on the part of the recognition, the constant need to get more and more.

If the motivation of the inner turns of the outer, performance decreases. For a time, it even can be maintained at the same high level, but it often comes at the expense of health and relationships.

Success comes when your actions do not conflict with your beliefs and values. And keep it (although it is difficult because of the extra pressure) can, if we continue to stick to its original principles: that is, not to change yourself.
Then you will continue to develop in their field, even becoming a world champion. You will refuse the temptation. You do not give the ego to control your life. You did not abandon their beliefs and loved ones.
Do not forget, why you are moving towards your goal. This is perhaps the most difficult thing you have to do on the road to success.
