How Do You Define Your Personal Success

Posted by Joseph Rooney on: 2005-07-11 22:07:16

Most people want to succeed, but whose version of "success" is the bestchoice? How do you measure your success? How do you know when you've really accomplished something that counts?

Success on other people's terms may only mean frustration for you, and doing the so-called "right thing" just because you've been told it's the right thing won't help, either. If we measure our success by goals that others think worthwhile instead of by our own personal standards, we will wind up in trouble.

Personal growth and fulfillment must start with the centered self, and depend on clear personal values and self-knowledge if they are to be sustained. Measuring our success by other people's values prevents us from recognizing many of our own significant accomplishments.

You know, you are not on earth to measure up to someone else's expectations,but you are here to develop your potential - in the direction and degree that you choose. It is your responsibility, though, to equip yourself to make wise choices, choices that will help you develop and feel good about yourself. Now, it is fine to ask others for advice or information, but the
final decision must be yours.

So, when you count your successes, make sure you count by your own
standards, not someone else's!
