Six Ways To Think of Success
January 31, 2025
Success is one of those things that means different things to different people at different phases in their lives. For some, it could be about wealth and recognition; for others, it may be about freedom and fulfillment.
But at some fundamental level success should feel good-it should align with what truly matters to you. Imagine succeeding at something but feeling miserable!! There can be nothing worse.
Sitting on a flight getting back to base, I can think of six ways ways we can experience success.
1. Having the freedom to spend your time on what matters most to you.
2. Knowing you did your best today, even if no one else notices or acknowledges.
3. Being surrounded by people who bring out the best in you.
4. Doing work that energizes you instead of exhausting you.
5. Being able to say “no” without guilt and “yes” without fear.
6. Being able to look back with gratitude and forward with excitement.
Whatever success means to you, the most important thing is that it should be your own, not someone else’s version of it.
