The Success Triangle. Have you ever asked yourself what you are truly passionate about? Not what you are good at. Not what pays the bills. Not what other people think you should be doing. But what genuinely lights you up from the inside?
That question is not as simple as it sounds. For many people the question gets pushed aside for years. It becomes buried under responsibilities, routines and the quiet belief that passion is a luxury reserved for someone else. It is not.
It was always meant for you.
This idea is the fourth and final page of Welcome to the Triangle Series.
You Were Made for This
The people who find their success triangle? They are not extraordinary people. They are ordinary people who made one extraordinary decision. They stopped waiting and started to strive for what mattered to them.
They were tired. Some were starting over. Some were just learning technology for the first time. Some had tried before and were unable to finish. Some had people in their lives who quietly (or not so quietly) doubted them.
And they kept moving forward toward their goals.
Maybe that is familiar to you. It may sound exactly like you.
The Three Sides of YOUR Triangle
It is actually a strong triangle. Each side essential and each one connected to the others. When passion, persistence and purpose work together, the Success Triangle begins to take shape.
Passion drives you forward.
This is the fire that got you here. The thing that made you click this page and read this far. Passion is a quiet persistent pull toward something you cannot quite name yet. Trust that intuition. It knows where it is going even when you do not.
And realize this, too. Your passion is allowed to change as you grow. What lights your fire today can become the doorway to something more successful tomorrow. That is not failure, but evolution. The person you can become needs different fuel than the person you were when you started. Your journey has many twists and turns. And never apologize for growing beyond where you began.
Persistence keeps you going.
There may be days when passion feels far away. There may be days when the grow light seems dim and the seeds seem silent. On those days persistence is what shows up anyway. It is the part of you that says, “I think I can. I think I can.” One day, without even noticing exactly when it happened, that voice changes.
That shift of yours from thinking to knowing is persistence doing its quiet powerful work. Just like The Little Engine That Could discovered when climbing that mountain. Because the struggle and journey itself is what builds the strength to reach the top.
Purpose gives it all meaning.
Purpose is your goal and it is the WHY beneath everything you do.
So, when you know your purpose and really know it–the hard days become bearable. The slow days are meaningful. And the ordinary Wednesday when nothing seems glamorous becomes part of something much bigger than you could see from the bottom of the mountain.
When All Three Come Together
When passion meets persistence something outstanding happens. You develop momentum.
But, add purpose to that momentum and your triangle becomes a success. It may not be a perfect triangle. Not finished. But complete in the way that matters most to you–uniquely and powerfully YOURS.
Just as people differ, no two triangles look exactly alike. Yours was shaped by your experiences, stories, struggles and your dreams. The open spaces in your triangle are not weaknesses. They are simply the spaces that only you can fill. It’s the truth. No one else thinks like you do.
Every triangle has a starting point. Today might be your starting point.
Your Invitation
Start with what lights your fire. Stick to it like glue. And make it matter.
That triangle can become your success. And it is always waiting for you to claim it.
You already know the voice that says, “I thought I could.”
