Success | Akbar&Fahmad

"I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes, the ho's, I suppose I just want to be, I just want to be; Successful"

LISTEN TO THE SONG AS YOU READ THIS!
What is success, and why are we always trying to achieve it if we don't know what it is? In everyone's mind there is the 'dream' life the 'successful' life. But if we don't know how to define success how will we know if we ever achieve it? I always hear people saying that there is not enough money, once you get to a million you will want 10 million. It never stops, success is a goal that is always an equal distance from you the closer you get the further back it goes. But this only applies if you measure success in worldly things.
If one measures their success in their health, how happy they are, how good they are to their family and friends and other non-worldly things then they can achieve success. When one achieves that success they are the people that are always happy, the ones that take the dark aspects of life and shine light onto it. They are the ones that people go to for help and advice, they are the ones that make you feel great. They are the people that we all secretly want to be like.
Like all people at times in life I begin to measure success by how much is in my account, the shirt on my back and the car we roll up in. But it makes no difference, it never has and never will. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying to be an amish or something along those lines. Enjoy life, but don't let life get the best of you.
Ensure that you are enjoying life for yourself, and not for others. Go buy those $200 dollar shoes if they make you happy, but don't buy them if you want someone to acknowledge them.
When we started The Avanti Unleashed like all young people I dreamed of having a huge empire in a massive skyscraper, living the canadian dream. But now looking back at those thoughts I will never want to achieve that success if I have to sacrifice my happiness or health. It is not worth it. The Avanti Unleashed is going to achieve success one day, in my eyes it has already achieved many levels of success.

Be successful, we know you will be and when you are come back and tell us what success you have achieved. If you achieve true success we will hear from you soon enough, if you achieve a facade that is success I know we will never hear from you again. So let me take this time to say good-bye, farewell, peace, later, hasta-la-vista, to all you fakes.
