What does success mean to you?
We all want success. We want to be successful and feel successful.
We chase money, fame, power, education, relationships, and a thousand other things without ever stopping to ask one IMPORTANT question: What is success?
What the word "Success" means to us? Not Google's definition — but our own.
To me, success is waking up and doing the things I love every day: Writing, reading, staying healthy and being able to achieve my goals.
Success is being able to do those things when I choose to, not when I have time to or when I'm able to fit them in between a bunch of other stuff I "have" to do.
Success is having my parents and partner look at me and feel proud.
Success is about having a purpose that I choose for myself.
It's not pursuing and achieving the things society tells me I'm supposed to do in life (without asking if I even wanted to do it).
This is what success means to me.
