things. I doesn’t say what success
is. In fact, it doesn’t define
success at all. It simply specifies
achieving it in a way which renders
onlookers completely awestruck.
It leaves defining what success is
completely up to you.
SUCCESS DEFINED
When you hear the word success,
what pops into your head. Are you
sitting on a yacht in the middle
of the Mediterranean sipping
champagne? Or, is it looking at
your bank statement seeing all the
commas breaking up your account
balance? Is that when you’ll finally
feel like you’ve made it?
When you get to that point in the
future, how do you feel? Will you be
happy and content with everything
that is right with the world?
When you are looking to the
future and envisioning all the
joy and gratitude, and the feeling
of significance. We convince
“ SUCCESS
IS NOT A POINT IN THE
FUTURE. SUCCESS IS SOMETHING YOU
CAN EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT YOU
HAVE RIGHT NOW — AS YOU ARE —
TODAY. ”
accomplishments you need to
check off to finally be considered
a success, it’s not really the
achievement you are craving.
You are craving the feeling you
imagine you’ll have when you get
it — that feeling of pride, the sense
of accomplishment, a feeling of
ourselves that checking off the
success to-do list boxes will bring
us these feelings. The truth is,
checking boxes is not where those
feelings originate. The feelings you
are craving originate inside you —
in your mind, in your heart, and in
your soul.
