Some successful approaches are a choice to win, some not. Many artists wanted the biggest award in the globe today (Grammys) but they couldn't, then even talking about local musical awards. HIV up to date can't be cured if you have one, I don't care what some herbalists say, many doctors don't know the solutions. Corruption can't be solved no matter what the success rate of the choice you want to face it right. Some success is either confronted as a personal fight or cooperation can't be solved. Is the law of nature.

Is the way the universe speaks. It speaks through feelings. If everything had solutions and everyone was progressing, with no failure whatsoever on Earth, there wouldn't be any inspiration, and then life on Earth wouldn't make any sense. The universe works on liberation. It works on balance that why in physics, it has positive and negative charge sides. Some have to progress and some don't need to progress. Then what's their purpose if someone has to ask, that purpose here in this dimension is a basic desire, we are here to experience. Your power, money, and fame will die out when you are no more. Only the gurus will understand this info.

I agree with this in a way. But sometimes other people are better than you, no matter how hard you work. I can see it working in some cases of course!

[Eziokwu960]

Success is unequivocally a choice. Achieving success is not hindered by luck but by the individual's level of commitment and honesty about their efforts. And I agree that true success comes from fully choosing and committing to one's goals without making excuses or attributing failure to bad luck.

[Nyangor Otieno]

I agree that success is a choice. I've seen the impact in my own life when I've chosen to put in consistent work and unsurprisingly saw fruitful results. Of course, success means different things to different people, but many will use other reasons to justify why some people are stuck at the bottom.

I can't agree more. If you don't do anything but only lazy around, it's highly unlikely you'll not succeed. In this regard, it's your choice not to do anything to getoyt of the situation you are in.

Absolutely! I highlighted this in a previous comment. Sometimes you can't get out of some situations no matter how hard you try. However, it doesn't excuse anyone from not doing anything.

[Nyangor Otieno]

In "In It Together", page 203, it is emphasized that individuals have full control over their choices and that these choices directly impact their inner peace and spiritual freedom. By making conscious decisions that align with their true self, people can achieve success as they define it. I agree with this only to an extent.

To expound on this, there are people who are born in situations where they don't just have that choice. Yet, to someone who all the situation favour them, then indeed it becomes a choice.

Absolutely! Not at all time situations or conditions will suit everybody, but you also have to put in some effort. Some people are just lucky, while others aren't.

It may just be influenced by my personal life but sometimes even after doing hard work some people don't get success.

[passionatereader2]

In my opinion, sometimes it things are not working out even after years of hard work then it's important to know when to walk away.

[Uma gupta]

No it's not true success is not a choice. Success is the result of all favorable events. Even a person who's working hard can be unsuccessful because of unfavorable events.

[Angel Sandra]

Yh, success is not only a choice but a priority, that's why we shouldn't leave our dreams hanging and go for it

[Singer Karen]

Success is a choice but only when the playing field is different. This idea is definitely applicable in some certain fields. In some ares of life people are dealt a bad hand by faith and so success is not even an option for them.

Success requires determination and decisive action, which I agree with wholeheartedly. It's not a simple achievement; it demands dedication and often the guidance of mentors, along with relentless effort. Ultimately, success hinges on your willingness to put in the hard work required to attain it.

[Sandeep Moses]

I have encountered many who toiled for years and never tasted success. Years of hard work went unnoticed.

Failure is a prerequisite for success.

Enjoying the journey is what matters the most to me. Whether you reach success or not, the journey is the one that counts.
