The untimeliness of success

It is interesting to think that success is not determined by time but effort.  Keep going with whatever it is you chose to do and you will at sometime or other experience success.  So what is success?  In my view success is being in the state of mind that you have achieved your goal. SMART seems to be the in word these days but in truth this is nothing new.  SMART objectives have been a management principle for quite sometime and the word SMART is actually an acronym - like many other words these days - and means Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely.  In short, it means that whatever you set out to do; make sure that it is not unrealistic. Lets face it, not many people are going to be going to Pluto anytime soon.  Make sure that you have plans in place to ensure that whatever it is you seek to achieve; you have time limits in place and that you monitor your progress.  If you keep to these simple rules you are bound to experience success at some point.  When? well you really do not know for certain, however if you want others to believe you are SMART, then think SMART and be SMART.
