I often speak of defining success your own way. I’m frequently asked – where does one start?
Here’s a prose by Ralph Waldo Emerson which I think is a great place to start when seeking your own definition.
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Action – Now, this is his definition, so take from it, tweak it or use any part that helps you find your true and authentic definition.
As you create your own, you will actually begin to make it happen.
