My family always taught me there are 3 major ingredients to success. When I was younger I listened to the words, but they never seemed to sink in. As I grew older, and life opened up to me, I realized these elements had a direct correlation to my success in anything I partook.
The definition of success can be different for everyone. The important part is that YOU and YOU alone are the judge of your success. When you look in the mirror every morning, it is only you who knows if you are successful or not. There are so many ways to be successful and even more ways to get there. However, even with all these differences, it is the same three P’s that are needed on every journey. No matter what your definition of personal success is, it is important to understand these elements if you want to see the big picture.

About 6 months ago, I decided to give up on my miserable, failing mortgage branch. I could have got a job somewhere to try and pay some of my bills but I was saddled with so much debt, I figured I might as well go for it all now. Plus, chasing money got me into this mess in the first place. I needed a change.
I had graduated film school only to wind up in the mortgage business trying to pay my bills. Lucky for me, I met my future partner, Chris, through a fellow friend and broker. Chris offered me the opportunity to get back involved in video, something I always wanted in the first place but was not ready to go after myself. This was my chance.
Since the first scribblings of communication were drawn in a dark cave long ago, writing has been a therapeutic way for man to release his inner thoughts. This ancient therapy has been around for a long time, but never has it been easier to write than today. We have access to computers, phones, recorders, and all sorts of technologies that allow our inner creative juices to be captured. However, to me, a simple notepad and a pencil is all you really need.
Writing is something many of us don’t do enough of. I am not only speaking of keeping a diary, or just fiction writing, or any other one form of the art. I am speaking of writing however you feel is best. Maybe a blog, or a diary, or a movie script, or a song, or even a poem is your cup of tea. Whatever form you choose to write in is perfectly fine. It still has the same beneficial effects.
