Redefining Success

Success. One of those buzzwords that often triggers a lot of competitive and "less than" feelings in a lot of people. Well, depending on what definition you are comparing yourself to. Have you ever stopped to think about what success looks and feels like for you? Is it freedom, fulfillment, peace? Rule of thumb in life - as long as you are comparing yourself to, and against other people's definitions you are always going to come up short. Because you're not working towards the same thing - got it?

For me what success feels like has changed, evolved and taken on different iterations over the years. The part that has been consistent is that the older (and perhaps wiser) I get, the more and more success becomes about how I feel, in addition to creating contentment in our life.

When you define what makes sense for you - especially success, the only thing you should be aiming for is that. No one else’s definition and definitely not in comparison to - because it’s not their life you are living - its yours.

Today's Theme in Action:

Define what what success looks and feels like to YOU right now. Think about all of the areas of your life that are the most important to you - maybe family, work or career, health, friendships, etc. Define what success means to you in each of those areas and always come back to THAT whenever you ever catch yourself getting caught up in the comparison game.

As always, thanks for choosing to be here.
