Episode 5

So…, what is success?

Today, instead of a quote, I share my definition of SUCCESS.

Success is a series of emotional experiences lived while in the pursuit of a worthy goal…. The achievement of that goal is the embodiment of success…, unquote.

Yes…. How we feel about what we want to achieve is what motivates us to go forward. It is passion that gives us the fuel we need. It is the steering of our thoughts in the direction of our goal that makes achievement probable. It is our achievements embodied in an advance degree, the purchase of a house, a new car…. that trophy or that championship belt. It may be a weight loss goal met or just finding peace.

No matter the goal…, simple or sophisticated…, remember…, it is your goal…., and no one else’s.

Now…, what about us? Why are we here?
