Hi Ryan!

Thanks for stopping by, mate. Great to see a new face (tree in this case) in my comments section.

Yeah, Hef’s got it made, I reckon.

What’s the number one thing I want to be successful at? That’s easy… I want to be the best me I can possibly be. My tombstone reads:

Steve Youngs
June 19, 1966 – July 12, 2069
The world was a better place
because he walked upon it

I’m willing to negotiate on that end date.

Thanks for commenting, mate.
Kind regards,
Steve

I think a lot of people are actually content with eating, sleeping, and “reproducing.” Kind of sounds like the life of hugh hefner!
I kid.

Well written post Steve, I dig it!

Whats the number one thing you want to be successful at?

Hi Steve!

I find that incredibly surprising that running marathons is easier on you body than running middle distance. I’m not going to dispute it because I’ve never run a marathon.

Was a miler WAY back when. Now I stick to longer races like a marathon. Surprisingly it’s much easier on the body.

Anyway, checking out the 2nd part right now.

Hi Steve!

Great to see another new face. Welcome to my piece of the blogosphere. Are you a miler like Sir Roger was, mate?

Yes, internal motivation is the only form of motivation that has any permanence to it. I’ve just written a 2 part series on understanding motivation, part 1 came out a couple of hours ago, and part 2 comes out on Saturday morning (UTC+10). Be sure to check it out.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Steve,

Good summary of success. As an avid runner, I definitely liked the reference to Sir Roger Bannister. I agree that motivation has to come from within. Nobody is going to tell you what to do. Or push you. To achieve success you have to motivate yourself. Anyway…Re-Tweeted this post. Great stuff here.

Hi Olusegun!

Welcome to my site, man. It’s really great to see a new face in my comments section. Thank you so much for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the article. I think it is terrific that you are constantly filling your mind with positive input like that. We should always make a conscious decision to put in more good stuff than bad.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Hey Steve,

Great article man.

I feel every point you made. The definition of success has been bastardized and I had to go back to the Bible and guys like Norman V. Peale and Earl Nightingale.

In fact I listen to the Earl’s “The Greatest secret” everyday.

I have determined to become a success and I WILL.

Cheers,
Olusegun
