The Real Meaning of Success

            A few weeks before school started I began workout routines with my older brother Jordan and our trainer Justin to get prepared for my high school soccer tryouts. These workouts were so brutal some days after the various workouts; I was limping around school like a ninety-year-old man. At times I wanted to give up and quit, but I had to dig deep and pull the strength out from within to get what I wanted in the end result. I promised myself that I was going to stay committed one hundred percent of the way because I didn't want to look back on my life with regrets. I fought through all the workouts and at the end of it I was victorious. I ended up making the varsity soccer team and I finally felt successful for the first time. The feeling was the best thing I had ever felt in my life and I was so happy with myself because all of my hard work paid off. In order to obtain success you have to have a strong passion and powerful motivation. Success is the grand picture at the end of the road that rewards you for all you hard work.
             No one ever said being successful was going to be easy, but once you make it there you see the world in a different way. The journey to success is always going to be a struggle. You can't let fear get in the way of reaching your goals. Make any decision you have to and don't be afraid to fail. Down the road you will feel out of your element, but you cant let that phase you. There's no doubt that there will be obstacles that you will have to overcome to make it to success, but when you fall down you best get right back up and keep grinding. You have to devote your life to that one thing and not let anyone get in your path.
             The most important element in achieving success is by hard work. You won't get anywhere if you don't put in the time and effort in perfecting your craft. The successful individuals work very hard at what they want. The words "I can't " are not in the minds of successful people.
