I am not expecting you to tell me the dictionary definition of success. I am asking what does success mean for you?
Before starting to work with me, many of my clients do not know what being successful means for them. Sure, they have hopes and dreams and sometimes goals, but they cannot point out which ones, should they come true, would make them successful. The first step we take together is to explore their deepest desires and then understand which ones they commit to make happen.
Success has a different meaning for everyone and its definition evolves over a lifetime. It is ok if at this point in time, you do not know exactly what would it mean for you to be successful. But if you want to be successful, you need to start from somewhere, right?
So, ask yourself: what do I really want to be / do / have in my life? What are my top five most vivid wishes?
Consider the five key areas of your life: your health, your relationships, your career, your wealth and your happiness. And then ask yourself: which ones am I committing to?
Success requires you to stop procrastinating and to take action, which can be in many forms and can have various degrees of risk. But without clarity around what you want to achieve, and commitment to make it happen, it will be very difficult for you to be successful.
Action: review your dreams today and decide to which ones you commit to.
Take action for success. Make your dreams happen!
