for the last month i've struggled with my own definition of success. i've spent plenty of days and sleepless nights trying to define what success means to me & have discovered a lot of my passions in the process. it's going to be a long road, but to me success is way more than the amount of money deposited into your bank account. it's about community and relationships and creativity and problem-solving. it's about happiness and making a difference and enthusiasm. that to me, is success.
currently, these three quotes are my compass. as i continue to search for my own definition of success, i have to stop and ask myself: will this improve me as a person? encourage me to be the best form of myself, build community and foster joy? am i excited to make changes, make a difference and bring new, creative ideas to the table? if i can honestly answer yes, i'm on the right path. if these elements are missing within my life and career or in any future endeavors- it's time to reassess and walk the other direction. because that's the path that won't bring me personal success. and i have to have faith in myself to know which is which.
as january wraps up, i'm taking these guidelines with me as i focus on my goals in february. unlike january, i have a plan for success this month. and while february will be the start of the implementation process, january forced me to step back, look deep within, assess and rediscover who i am and want to be. and while my definition of success will undoubtedly change, at least i now know the best path for finding my true north. change is coming. and i'm so excited to know success.
