Deep dives

Redefining Success on Your Own Terms

Success varies from person to person, and it's crucial to define what it means to you, rather than adopting someone else's standards. Many people chase societal markers of success, such as wealth or possessions, without evaluating their own values and desires. Reflecting on personal experiences, it's highlighted that success might encompass elements like spending time with family, pursuing passions, or maintaining personal happiness, rather than just accumulating material wealth. By creating a personalized definition of success, individuals can more effectively align their actions with their true aspirations.
