Definition of Success
You will never find success if you can’t define it. This is one of the topics in my new book, Inspiring Success. Success means different things to different people. It’s usually based on your individual values.
How do you define success? Have you defined it?
I recently came across a quote and I can’t remember the author for the life of me but it said something along the lines of this:
“Success is having everything in life that money can’t buy
and some of what it can.”
Yep, that’s it.
There are so many things in life that are important to me that money can’t buy. I want to be happy. I want to be healthy. I want to be free to be who I am completely and to share that with others. I want to have balance in my life – however I choose to define balance. I want to spend time in the sun, time finding beauty in my surroundings. I want the same for my family and friends. I also want to spend time supporting others in their healing and time helping them to be successful – whatever that means to them.
I want to know that I can pay my bills. I want to know that there is food on my table and gas in my car and some left over for a movie and popcorn with a friend, for my daughter to play tennis and my husband to go hunting. And maybe an occasional vacation wouldn’t hurt now and then.
Pretty simple and yet so important. You’ll never find something you can’t define. How would you know when you achieved it? I invite you to spend some time defining success today and then go get it!
