THE SUCCESSFUL LIFE
ACHIEVING TRUE SUCCESS

About Us
The Successful Life Program was created by Alikem Brese to help people achieve true success in their lives, rather than pursuing fleeting and elusive goals.
The goal of The Successful Life Program is to help individuals understand the true meaning of success and how to achieve it. The conventional definition of success places too much emphasis on external factors like wealth, fame, and social validation. This flawed definition often leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and lack of fulfilment. True success is determined by an individual’s goals, values, and a balanced approach to different areas of life. It results in contentment, a sense of fulfilment, inner peace, and purpose.
After being fed up of seeing people “chasing moving shadows” in their pursuit for success and ending up disillusioned and disappointed, Alikem wants to bring more realism to the understanding and pursuit of success.
Alikem uses the metaphor “chasing moving shadows” to highlight the importance of setting realistic and significant objectives, being mindful of the ever-changing nature of desires and aspirations and finding contentment in the journey rather than fixating on an unattainable destination. It encourages individuals to focus on what is meaningful and feasible in the present, instead of constantly striving for something that may forever remain out of reach.
Alikem, a Housing Development professional with over 25 years of experience in UK housing development has held senior management positions up to Director level working with UK housing organisations. Happily married to his wife Barbara for more than 30 years with three adult children, and a granddaughter, Alikem is also a mindset and positive relationship mentor and coach who has found success in both his professional and personal life and describes himself as being content, thankful and appreciative of his life.
Alikem’s passion is to see more people achieve true contentment, fulfilment and inner peace and purpose in their lives.

Take the Necessary Steps to Achieve a Successful life…
How to live a successful life, a fulfilling and contented life.
Success and satisfaction in life vary for each person based on their values, goals, and situations. However, there are some common perspectives on what these concepts may include……
Setting and attaining meaningful goals, pursuing passions, maintaining healthy relationships, finding balance, making a positive impact, and discovering fulfilment.
To live in alignment with personal values, learn and challenge oneself, build meaningful relationships, prioritize well-being, and cultivate inner peace.
It’s important to note that success and fulfillment are subjective concepts, and what brings satisfaction and contentment to one person may differ from another. Each individual therefore has their own unique path to finding a successful and fulfilling life.
It’s crucial to define these terms based on your own values, aspirations, and personal growth, rather than comparing yourself to others.

Can you truly be content and fulfilled or is it an unattainable goal or shifting shadows?
