Does hard work always bring success? No. What can i say? I am not a motivational speaker, I will tell you the truth even if It hurts. Hard work leads to success, which is true. But what is also true, is that one could work hard all their life, and still no where near success, simply surviving.
However, success is subjective and evolves with time, reflecting personal growth and changing priorities. It is the achievement of a desired goal, purpose, or outcome. Its meaning varies depending on individual values, aspirations, and perspectives. Success might be:
- Personal: Achieving happiness, balance, or self-fulfillment.
- Professional: Advancing in a career, building a business, or creating impactful work.
- Relational: Building meaningful relationships or contributing to others’ well-being.
- Financial: Attaining financial stability or wealth.
- Physical: Maintaining health or achieving fitness goals.
- Spiritual: Feeling aligned with one’s beliefs or achieving inner peace.
For one to achieve their goals, one would need to work for it. The work, is the process of becoming what one hope to accomplish. But the truth is not everyone will achieve their goals, even if they work the hardest.
It takes the grace of God to achieve anything meaningful, goals. To succeed, that is God, a blessing. One should be grateful. Success is not simply by working the hardest, because many did, but never made it, what are the odds that could have been you who actually succeeded?

Thank you Jesse. The truth is, it is by the grace of God that our hard work will yield successful results. Not everyone will achieve their goals, no matter how hard they worked. This is why we should be grateful in every area of life. Gratitude brings grace.

It sure does. Everyone has their own idea of what success is, as well as their own desires. Sometimes that which you have but holds to no value, is someone else’s desire. Success is not static, as it changes with time, and among individuals.

It’s never enough. Real success are things money cannot buy. Things like good health, peace of mind, joy, love. It is not material, but a good legacy.
