Success is defied as, "accomplishment of an aim or purpose". So many of us seem to define success as how much money we can show the world that we have. News flash, no amount of money could ever truly keep you happy.
So, at the end of the day what actually defines success?
YOU, you are the only person who can gage and define your own success as you see fit.
No one is allowed to judge you or question you about your measure of success. Why? Because every single persons is different. We all fight different battles. We all choose how much we are willing to fight each day and even a seemingly small act can be successful to the right person.
Success is:
Knowing no matter the outcome you did the best you possibly could
Finding joy in the surroundings of every day life
Overcoming your fears and challenges
Learning that just because you lost a few battles doesn't mean you lose the war
Standing firm in your beliefs
Celebrating small victories
Never letting anyone make you feel less than you are
Understanding that you control your own happiness
When I was younger I mad myself a list called "I Will Know I have Made it when...". Here are a few of the things I still keep on that list, and I encourage all of you to keep your own version of that list to always be reminded where you want to end up and what success means to you.
I marry the man of my dreams
I get the Chnace to be an amazing and loving mother
I live in New York for at least a year
I own a Birkin (the fashion side of me has expensive needs sometimes)
Never forget what success means to you, and never stop chasing the success of making yourself happy.
