What does success mean to you as a human being? Success is a fundamental marker by which most of us measure the quality of our lives. Yet authentic success is completely subjective. Real definitions of success should not be confused with the validation or despair we feel when we compare ourselves with others.
When we look for our definition of success externally, it becomes a moving target. We ride the pendulum between the joy of “success” one moment and the humiliation of “failure” in the next. Such a trap, and such a waste of precious energy!
When we are able to authentically define what success means to us, the journey gets a lot more fun. It becomes personal. It becomes dynamic and fulfilling. When we have clarity about our authentic definition of success, we are able to steer clear of the mind’s compulsive and dangerous comparison tactics.
Yet, in order to do this, we require the right emotional health and support. We need guidance on letting go of old imprints and on getting back in tune with our own nature and uniqueness.
