Finding Your Path To Success: Start By Defining Your Goals with Travis Chappell

As we grow up, we will come to the point where we think about who we are and what we want to do in life. But often, our path in life is already laid out by our parents or culture, binding us on what we want to do. Even though we want to choose the decisions that are true to ourselves, the fear of not pleasing our parents and hurting our loved ones makes it difficult. The battle within ourselves, whether to choose our path or the path that is laid out for us, will constantly be raging. That’s why we need to decide, grow up, stand firm, and choose to become the version of ourselves.

Travis Chappell shares his life experiences, lessons, and advice with future leaders. The young generation will get to the point in their life where they will need to choose the path they want to take.

Do you want to be the version of yourself or walk the path of life with regrets? Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more!

Quotes:

• “The accomplishment or success of this path is not success at all because it's not what I want, which was a big realization that success is something that every individual has to define for themselves. It's not culture, parents, books, loved ones, or whatever. It's not anybody else definition of success. You define success for yourself.” – Travis Chappell
• “Your life is a journey of trying to get to know who you are.” – Travis Chappell
• “As a parent, it's not my job to make carbon copies of myself. It's my job to create a human that can actively think and become a good version of themselves without cheating themselves and living a bad version of life.” – Travis Chappell

Takeaways:

• Success cannot be defined by anyone. It is only you and you alone who can give the definition of success in your life.
• Knowing who you are is critical to find what you want to do in life. And the earlier you know it, the better. If you just worry about what your parents will think, you're going to waste a lot of time in your life. Even though it is difficult, you have to make decisions that are true for you.
• Your parents are knowledgeable about many things that are best for you. Additionally, they are much wiser than you are. But as a man, you eventually become your own version of yourself and have to be able to start taking charge of your own matters. Consult your parents for guidance or advice. But in the end, it's up to you to make a decision. And it is up to you to accept responsibility for who you will become.

Conclusion:

Youths must choose the path where they will see and define what success is for them. They need to grow up, make decisions, and be responsible. Know who they are, and find the things they want to do. It’s hard, and it hurts, but they have to make decisions that are true to themselves and live a life free of regrets.
