Creating Your Own Definition Of Success

Creating Your Own Definition Of Success

There are many things that people think of when we hear the word “success”. For some people, they would define it as having a college degree and high-paying career. Others would define it as being able to afford what some would consider the finer things in life such as a large home, designer purses, expensive jewelry and luxury cars. Others would define it as being famous and popular.

To me, success is really your own personal definition of success. I define success as having the courage to go after your dreams, despite what anyone else says or thinks about it. To me, success is about going after your goals and continuing to follow your passions in life, despite any setbacks you may experience, choosing to see those setbacks as stepping stones to personal growth rather than a letdown.

I also define success as choosing to remain positive and happy during times of despair and hardship instead of letting the hard times get the better of you. I believe success is bravely and confidently being yourself in a world desperately trying to change you into what they think you should be or look like. I also believe success is being kind to those who have hurt you, forgiving to those who have wronged you and being brave by standing up and speaking out for others who may not have the ability to do so for themselves for whatever reason that may be. Therefore, I encourage you to figure out what you think it means to be successful. Create your own definition of success and find a way to apply it to your own life for anyone and everyone can be a success so long as they simply believe.
