One of the cool thing about success quotes to me is that people from all walks of life are represented.
I’ve shared quotes from professional athletes, philosophers, Billionaires, Millionaires, Moms, Dads and anyone who doesn’t fit into that category. Here’s another wonderful quote about success from a legendary comedian.
I don’t know the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” ~ Bill Cosby
How many times have been made worrying about how others would respond?
How many ideas never saw the light of day because you were worried how others might react?
I know my list was long and a source of pain. I can still remember key points in my life, crossroads, where I let the influence of others turn me away from my preference.
I can still feel the pain associated with making those decisions.
What I like about Bill’s Cosby’s word about success is the independence implied. You may understand that some of your best decisions were also some of the hardest to make because of the resistance you heard from well-intentioned family and friends.
For me, it got to the point that I created the “Dad-O-Meter.” Simply put, the more my Dad objected to one of my decisions, the better I knew the decision was for me.
Earlier in my life, I found being true to myself to be one of the more challenging things to do. I recognized identifying what I wanted to do… and doing it were two of the hardest activities for anyone.
It’s why I created the Passion Module. It’s my attempt to help you get really clear as to what success means to you.
