Creating Your Definition Of Achievement
Typically, dictionaries define achievement as 'an accomplishment attained by effort'.
Similarly, synonyms for word 'achieve' include:
- consummate
- complete
- execute
- realize
- reach
- win
That common factor is the element of action.
This means that our achievements are results that are brought about as a result of action that we have taken. They are not outcomes that just happen to us.
What is success? It's another word for achievement...it's truly living.
