Things to remember when defining success in your life

As you weave together your own definition of success, keep in mind the following:

View success as a process

Most people think of success as “big” achievements. While I totally encourage you to go after your biggest dreams, only looking at the bigger picture can negatively affect you.

Instead of only looking forward to the end goal, I recommend looking at success as small, short-term wins (i.e. reaching daily, weekly, and monthly goals).

Your definition of success may change over time

Over the course of our lives, the way we see the world and our priorities may change. As a result, so may our definition of success.

What seemed important as a single young adult may look quite different after being married and having kids. Your values and what is most important to you can change as you grow.

As we move through life, so will our definition of success, so it’s imperative to go with the flow, revise, and adjust as needed.
