Are the "successful" lives we see on social media real success or is it phony baloney?

There is A LOT of confusion about success. People on social media who post about their beautiful, amazing, nothing-ever-goes-wrong lives appear to have it all, but do they really? Are they really that shapely? Is that really their car? Is that really a picture of a fabulous vacation in Hawaii or just a fake background they dropped into Zoom and snapped a pic (like my background today 🤣)?

Even if they literally do have a private jet, a yacht that's bigger than the average house, a perfect body, a brand new Bentley, and a mansion behind a guarded gate, are they really living an authentically successful life? I know some very wealthy people who have everything money can buy but who aren't truly successful in the truest sense of the word. Why? Because real success is so much more than money.

You can be a billionaire, but if you're too sick to enjoy it, what good is it? If you're a miserable human being and the only people who want to be around you are people who benefit somehow from your relationship, they're not real, meaningful relationships. (Those people leave when the money runs out.)

REAL success is amazing. It is the freedom to be your real self, to do life without a mask, to be your authentic, God-given self. It's healthy relationships with good people who care about you--the real you, flaws and all--and who will be there for you when you need help. It's the sense of accomplishment and contentedness that comes from doing what you were born to do. And it's the peace and joy that accompanies all of that.

In this episode, we talk about how living your purpose is REAL SUCCESS. Everything else is temporary or facade.

The key to real success and the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things is PURPOSE, MEANING AND CONNECTION. So please subscribe, share and listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched. 

You are not an accident. You are an "intentional!" YOU MATTER and your purpose matters. There are people who need YOU.
