My Idea of Success

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

No one in particular comes to mind, simply because I don’t have enough information about others. Some people might seem like they have it all on the outside. But if internally, they’re not happy and everyday they just want to die, can you really call that successful?

I would say a successful person is someone who has a clear picture of what they want in life, and have attained that. It’s about living a life that feels right for you, while staying true to yourself and sticking to your moral values.

For me, all I want is to a peaceful, drama-free, non-anxious life, while earning a living from a career that doesn’t feel like work. See how I don’t see success as something that can be affected by an external force?

I believe Maya Angelou said it best: “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and how you do it.”
