Success Is NOT Always What You See

Success Is NOT Always What You See

If we were to search for the definition of SUCCESS through the web, guaranteed you will end up with millions of search results, each presenting a different interpretation.  For some, it means achieving a goal OR victory for the day.  Others may view it positively impacting society, earning a college degree, OR amassing wealth.  SO HOW?  Yes, we got to define it.  Imagine scrolling through social media and seeing two different people living WHAT appears to be seemingly 'PERFECT' lives.  One person recaps an exotic holiday to Maldives  WHILE another one shows off as his grand achievement his latest fancy purchase.  Regardless how you see it,  Success Is NOT Always What You See📗📙📘

Ooooops, you might end up finding yourself trying to copy them by buying similarly expensive and fancy things OR going for a holiday to Santorini and the Aegean Seas OR posting your impressive pictures on your social media to get 'LIKES'.  You may momentarily think this is HOW to reach that true and genuine SUCCESS.  However, even after trying to mimic their respective versions of SUCCESS, here's the thing.  You will still [likely] end up 'incomplete' in terms of SUCCESS.  The stark truth is that your own definition of SUCCESS may never perfectly align with other people's, maybe, NOT even by a mile💧💧💧

Our unique goals, values, and even priorities shape a distinct picture of WHAT 'SUCCESSFUL'  really means to you specifically.  This is WHY defining SUCCESS is NOT only essential BUT also empowering.  The sooner you embark on this journey of 'self-discovery', the sooner you can channel your time and energy into pursuits that genuinely resonate with you.  If we get 'hostaged' with Mr Webster's definition of SUCCESS, it defines it as that 'attainment of wealth, favor OR eminence',  a definition I WON'T buy in because it's only half of WHAT it should be, if I may open up my own convictions with regard my take as to how SUCCESS should be defined💦💦💦

If at all, the definition of SUCCESS is something we should NOT even debate at all because SUCCESS is entirely subjective.  It is a highly individualized process shaped by personal experiences , values and a broader perspective beyond traditional measures OR societal expectations.  Oh YES, even our very own definition of SUCCESS constantly changes.  As human beings, we are always going through life changes and our viewpoints will change💙💛💚

Our takeaway:  IGNITE yourself to SUCCESS BUT let's admit it that finding your own definition of SUCCESS ISN'T an instantaneous process BUT we are always told that it is a deeply rewarding one.  HOW?  Reflect on our values and beliefs as these are the principles that guide our decisions and shape our actions in life.  Get close to your core values most important to you so that SUCCESS will be closest to how you defined it✅✅✅
