When you picture a successful life, what do you see in your mind’s eye? A huge house or expensive car? Rewards and accolades for your work? Awe-inspiring views in foreign lands? Finishing a half-marathon? Or is it simply feeling peaceful and content, gardening at home and enjoying a slow pace?
The truth is a successful life is a life that is deeply meaningful and fulfilling to you. There is no one size fits all when it comes to success.
Not Everybody wants a yacht.
But what difference does it make? Why ask ourselves this question? Because if you don’t, you can easily end up burning through your time and energy chasing other people’s dreams. This life is far too precious for that.
Contemplate what success means to you, and don’t confine your contemplation to money. You can also think about:
How do you look and feel when you’re successful?
How do you spend your time, both professionally and personally?
How are your close personal relationships?
What positive impact will you leave on the world?
What experiences is your heart yearning for?
When you step out of society’s idea of a successful life and instead live by your own definition of success, you are absolutely creating your life consciously. You are setting your course according to the things that are most important to you, and the result of that is the can’t-be-duplicated feeling of a life well-lived.
