How I’m Redefining Success
It’s a moving target: How to stay on track…
Success…it’s that illusive word we keep chasing. Like there’s a single moment when everything clicks, and the credits roll on the perfectly crafted movie of your life.
As it turns out, success is a bit trickier than that. One day it’s about landing the promotion, the next it’s just about making it through the week when you’re feeling like you’ve dropped every ball you were juggling.
The truth is success doesn’t stay in one place. One day it’s about nailing a presentation and the next it’s just about getting through Monday without losing your temper at the barista for spelling my name wrong. Some weeks it’s mastering a yoga pose and other weeks it’s remembering to stretch at all.
Success is slippery and always shifting- just like we do.
So, if you’re still waiting for that one moment when everything falls into place, maybe it’s time to let that go. Success isn’t some Grand Finale, maybe it’s the little wins that make up our day.
The point is, you’re the only one who gets to define it — and it’s allowed to look different every single time.
