What Does Success Mean To You?
Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose, the attainment of popularity or profit, or a person or thing that achieves desired aims or attains prosperity.
So that's the definition. But what does it mean to you? What do you need in your life to feel as though you are accomplished? What do you desire? What is it that is going to make you happy?
These aren't always the easiest questions to answer are they? Take some time and think about. Think about it often. People change and so do their goals and dreams.
Have Goals and Dreams!
We all have goals. Small goals, big goals, daily goals, life goals! You have to have dreams though too! The way I look at it is that goals are something I strive to achieve and dreams are something to reward myself for achieving the big goals! That's not to say that you can't reward yourself for achieving smaller goals. You should. Just on a smaller scale maybe.
Lay a Path
Make a plan. What steps do you need to take to accomplish your goals and in what timeline do you want to achieve them? Having a well thought out path to success helps you set both small and big goals. It lets you have a good realistic look at what's ahead. It also gives you a good way to determine at what points you're going to reward yourself for achievements. When you're your own boss, you have to give yourself the pats on the back we all crave. You're the boss! No one else is going to do it!
What Does Success Mean to Me?
Being happy. Really. There's so much in this world to get down about. I just want to be happy. So for me, the question really is, What makes me happy? Well, it's lots of things. Spending time with my family (including my pets), not worrying about personal finances, travelling and exploring new places, reading and relaxing and helping others where and when I can. That's it. Doesn't seem like to much to ask for does it?
Please share with me what success means to you too! I'd love to hear from you!
