Success...
Success, for me, is knowing inside that I’ve done my absolute best to take each "right" step I've been asked to take, no matter how strange or what I've had to feel or face as a result. To know I've created "me" to the best of my current ability with each circumstance and moment LIFE has presented, is what is important. As I grow, my best "me" must be revised and changed, so my "best" doesn't always feel so "good", but knowing that at each moment it has been my best is enough. As long as I keep working to do my best, I know my best will keep improving... When I work with whatever LIFE sends to create a "me" of whom I'm increasingly proud, I also know I've made best use of the resources I've been given, regardless of how it looks or feels in any particular moment. This kind of success is neither measurable nor necessarily visible to anyone else.
However, this is just my version of success and what I try to reflect in my choices for each moment I live. Since we are all individuals with our own unique perspective or "take" on LIFE, there are as many versions of success as there are people... What is your version and how is your kind of success reflected in the choices you make moment by moment as you live your life??? One's ideas about success also seem to have a great deal to do with where one places value as well as why it is placed there... so exploring ideas about value can also assist in understanding success... I've found pondering questions like this to really assist my understanding of me, perhaps the same is true for you...
