“Success is nothing without someone to share it with.”
Tyra Banks opens up about the loneliness that awaits her at the end of her busy days – which swing between producing/hosting “America’s Next Top Model” and her own daytime talk show. “I’d go to work [on 'The Tyra Banks Show'], and women would be crying in my arms,” she tells the latest issue of Essence. “But then I’d go home and put my key in my door and … nothing. No friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I’m at work but so empty when I come home.”
Successful people frequently lament about it being lonely at the top. They talk about their personal lives being empty. But “Mahagony” got it wrong. Success isn’t nothing without someone to share it with. No success and no one to share it with is nothing. That is a lonely and empty life.Like every other successful person, Tyra has had to make tough choices. She chooses to do both of her shows. Does she also choose to attend religious services, or join a sorority, or practice a social hobby or have children? Her success affords her many more choices than it takes away. Other celebrities have found a way to juggle multiple important and meaningful responsibilities.
Tyra has the rare gift of a history of success. She also has made it clear that she believes that in order to do something well you must learn from someone who knows more than you and is able to teach you what they know. She has been a great success at learning and teaching in her professional life. Now its time to turn the focus to the personal life. People do what they do. Successful people are successful.
Someone like Tyra who already knows the formula for success and has applied it expertly, just needs to choose to change the focus and do the work. If help is needed, there are any number of life coaches or relationship coaches out there.I wish you all the best Tyra as you bring your history of success to a new focus of your amazing drive and determination to your personal life. We know how it will turn out. Because we know what successful people do.
