Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced everyday
-- Jim Rohn

A few weeks ago, during a whatsapp group chat, @nigtroy asked a question that got me thinking and today I want to share it with you.

What is the difference between success and growth?

At that time, I gave him a simple answer which was “success is achieved everyday while growth takes time”. But after carefully analyzing the question for days now, I think there is more to it than the answer I gave.

When I say success is achieved every day, what I mean is with every little task you undertake, you succeed when you complete it. It could be waking up at the time you set your alarm. That means you have successfully woken up at a time you set for yourself. When you say you will lay your bed, brush your teeth, go to work and you actually do it, you have successfully done something. Same goes for every other thing, say you are working on a new business, you will succeed if you do something everyday to push it and within 3 to 5 years later, you will grow as a result of your little successes.
It is that simple. Now, I leave you with today’s motivation from Jim Rohn.
I hope you get moved to do something worthwhile.

Yes, success and growth are two different things, though they interrelated.

Success is derived after the accompnishment of a given task. The archivemrnt or victory over a specific challenge can also be regarded as success

While growth in other hand is systematically and continuously development in relation to the amount of success you claim in a specific period.
For instance, a man who engage in petroleum business, And at initial stage, he was supplying only one tanker of petroleum per week. After some time, he is supplying 3-4 tankers per week without any problems.
That shows, he as grow as a result of success he made in the business.

Wow, i have been able to learn something about success and growth....thanks bro

Wonderful message from Mr. Rohn, if you will change, then everything around you will change. Start by changing your mind. The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do. So do not neglect to do the easy things you can do. Thanks for sharing @kwakumax. It made my day.

I agree on how you explained success , indeed in anything we do we can be successful, the growth maybe are the lessons you got from those things you did successfully , to make you a better version of yourself ❤️❤️❤️

Success to me is achieving what makes you happy and growth is achieving success with improvement.

Thanks for sharing @kwakumax...I appreciate the distinction between success and growth better now. Great motivation from Jim John.

Nice piece bro
