What is success?
Merriam Webster defines success as any of the following:
- the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame
- the correct or desired result of an attempt
- someone or something that is successful (ie., person or thing that succeeds)
Is it wealth? Is it happiness? Is it fame?
Success is comprised of many things, and one could argue that the definition depends on the individual.
Consider asking yourself if your own version of success is based on someone else’s example? Perhaps you can identify a person, like a parent or a best friend, or a group of people (real or fictional) you model your own success after. Consider this person your inspiration.
Now ask yourself, are these the same ways you would measure success?
Bottom line is success can be defined in many ways. If you are experiencing happiness, love, or adventure in this moment, you’ve already found success. Keep it up.
