What the Hell is Success Anyway?
What if you’re already successful?
Everyone wants different results.
Success, for some, is being an artist who owns a mansion with ten rooms and two cars. For others, success is running a small business of their dreams and owning a small, comfortable home.
No matter what success looks like to you, there’s one common factor: everyone’s waiting for it.
“You already have The Most. And you’re already The Best.” — Lauren Graham
I’m not making a lot of money, I have about forty email list subscribers, I don’t have a thousand followers, and if you looked at my life, you would say I wasn’t successful.
However, I’d say you’re wrong.
Would my life be easier if I owned a car or made a higher income? Yes. Would it make me feel successful? Yes — but only for a while.
Eventually, the feeling would fade, I’d develop new goals, and I wouldn’t feel prosperous until I reached those new aims. It’d be a never-ending cycle.
You have two options: you can continue to chase success, or you can choose to believe you’re successful now.
I like to believe I’m successful now, despite the “evidence” showing otherwise.
