What is success? What does it mean to be successful? Does success equate to wealth? Or fame/power/beauty/perfection? Does our definition change over time... or with age... or due to the expectations of society?
What if success could be simplified and made available to everyone? Luckily, it is. And if you think that's good news, it gets better. You already know how to achieve it. Curious how?
It's as simple as SELF:
SOLITUDE -- Spend time with yourself. Get to know who you are. Meditate. Reflect.
EXAMINE -- Strip away all of the labels: "I'm a teacher, wife, running enthusiast...." Well, so are a few million other people. Don't sell yourself short. What makes you YOU? (Not sure? Start here: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)
LISTEN -- To your thoughts, your emotions, your intuition.
FOLLOW -- Trust in yourself and in your path; your inner guidance will lead you.
So you see, success is nothing more than achieving your highest potential. No one in the world -- not your parents, not your peers, not society -- can dictate to you what it should look like, what salary bracket it should be, or what job title it requires. Only you can define success. So be brave, and begin the journey of self today. The world needs your potential.
