We Each Define Our Own Success in Life 1 - What Are You Waiting for to be Happy? Happiness is not out of reach. It is not a pot of gold at the end of an infinite rainbow. It is right in front of you, waiting to be grabbed and enjoyed. We imagine men and women whose lives have lead them to success young and all the things they can do that we equate with happiness, but the truth is different. These people reach such a high level of success because they learned young how to be happy in everything they do. They don’t define themselves by material milestones - they enjoy the journey, success, failure and all. 2 - The Path to Success is Open and Waiting For this reason, there is a path to success open in front of you right now. It is the same path taken by men and women before you who had amazing ideas and no clear idea how to get those ideas into the hands of people like us. And yet they stepped foot out onto that path. Jobs and Wozniak in their garage. Page and Brin in their studio apartment. Zuckerberg in this dorm room. They succeeded because they had a vision and imagined success at the end of the path they had yet to start down. We can do the same. 3 - Measuring in Achievements Is a Dead End And yet measuring success in terms of how many times you cut costs or how many products you produce is not a healthy measure of self. Will you remember a quarterly report on your death bed? Will your children? Success and happiness are measured by the people we influence and joy we have in influencing them. The smartest men and women on earth find a way to influence the masses and find joy on a scale few of us can imagine. And yet it is the same as what you can do on a small scale even today. Living Up to Your Own Standards Living up to your own standards takes time and commitment - a devotion to self and to the future you have set out to achieve. If you have a vision, make it a reality and enjoy every step it takes to get there. Don’t judge yourself on how you performed at any given point.
