Who defines “success”? Our parents, society, our peers? The truth is, each of us have a choice to define what success is for us. It’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing, however, it’s likely that most people are living with an idea or belief of what success “should” be.
Try this:
Write down a list of things that feel like success to you. Perhaps, financial freedom is part of your list AND what else is on there? Deep relationships? Great sleep? Success is unique to each person because we have unique values, interests, and goals!
What’s important is that you know what success feels and looks like for you. If you don’t define it, someone else or something else will.
Here’s what feels like success to me right now with who I am right now:
Blessing and savoring my food
Helping someone see their worth
Calling my parents to catch up
Running in a beautiful place with Kyle
Being a mother
Seeing my family often
Clarifying my zone of genius
Practicing gratitude daily
Being able to buy fresh food
Building a business that serves my highest calling
Being able to sit still
Know what feels like a Yes and No in my body
Listening generously
Being present on phone calls
Feeling energized each morning
Finding my routine with sleep/wake up
Having friends over for a homegrown dinner
Having beautiful rituals for each season
Being able to speak my truth
Your turn, what is success to you at this stage in your life? Go!
