When do you say you are successful? Isn’t it about getting what you want? I am redefining success from my perspective. You may agree or not.

Head start Intro

As we live, we create our own story having different successes along the way. Achieving a goal is always a great thing, big or small.

There were many success stories of well-known personalities that we have heard or read about. All of it tends to inspire, giving us a message not to give up, how to overcome failures, find a purpose, and their humble beginnings.

For ordinary people, a little get-together family dinner or party is the usual way to talk and celebrate achievement.

For individuals living with a hectic schedule, the celebrations are done by eating one’s favorite food, buying something from the shopping wish list, or sharing a success story on the World Wide Web. (sharing what I am celebrating!)

The “Usuals” At Present

I find the latter very cool, it is quite normal nowadays that you can shout out on different social media platforms where you’ve been, what you did, and what you have.

We can easily express that we are happy by simply liking, sending emojis, and commenting.

Even your childhood friend whom you haven’t seen for many years can know about your present whereabouts as long as you have established a social connection online. Amazing, right? 🙂

Mindfully Redefining Success

However, there are times when the intention of a success story goes in a different direction. It is being used to rant about hidden thoughts of – “Yeah I did great because my choices and principles in life are better than yours!” Not in these exact words, though, but actually, the real message is the same.

C’mon really.

What do you know about other people’s choices in life? Your overall definition of success might be different from theirs.

Ranting about how you have better values than others will not do you any favors. It doesn’t contribute to your well-being or your achievements. Just because you have achieved something does not mean that you have the authority to socially undermine others.

If you are not on the verge of defending yourself from an attack, there is no point in making such an outburst.

A baker thinks he is successful when he sells a lot of baked pastries, a lawyer thinks he most succeeded after winning a court case and a fashion designer might consider her success once she created pandemonium out of her creations. – Realize how we differ?

Redefining Success… further

A state of mind it is and varies from person to person. Next to success is a comma of another goal to meet, not a full stop. It is no longer about just making your momma proud, having lots of money, or getting a degree. Each of us has failures, the same with having the ability to develop and accomplish. Just keep hustling.

Visualize your state of happiness.. and yes keep on hustling, because it is not a one-way street.

The End Note

Strive for success is a continuous journey. And it is completely fine that the path won’t be the same for you and me. 💋

To live the life I am passionate about is my idea of success, continuous hard work in progress.

And I have never been more ready.
