Will you consider changing your definition of success?

Success conjures up images of wealth, happiness and freedom.

Success seems to be linked to the ‘attainment’ of things, such as money and goals in the future.

But what if we don’t achieve our goals?

What if that future never arrives?

Even worse, why are people miserable and stressed out even after achieving so-called success?

But have you ever considered why we want success?

Why are we trying to hinge our happiness on something in the future?

Are we prepared to put up with stress, unhappiness and being miserable so that one day we may achieve so called success?

It does not seem right, does it?

But here is an alternative take.

What if we can engineer success right now!

What if we can enjoy success right now irrespective of our future goals?

What if we can enjoy success right now, irrespective of how our future is going to turn out?

That’s right.

  • Success is you being here right now.
  • Success is being the best you can be right now.
  • Success is being the best version of you right now.
  • Success is doing the very best with what you have right now.
  • Success is taking the next step in to the unknown with faith.
  • Success is doing what is necessary with joy, enthusiasm and gratitude right now and looking forward to the next moment with the same attitude.

You are a success!
