Your Definition of Success

What is your definition of success? What does success look like?

That's a hard thing to nail down. I mean, I've had successes, right? Well, sure I have. Everyone does. We all learned to walk, talk, hey - you're reading right now. That's a success, right?  But we are all different and each will have unique goals and aspirations.

We've all heard the quote from Albert Einstein, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”  So, maybe I'll never be a super model brain surgeon who makes the best apple pie in 8 counties. But that's okay because that's not what I consider my success (though, how sweet would that be?).  

I read a fabulous article in my online edition of Shape Magazine entitled "How to Succeed at Everything." It was a reminder  that we aren't perfect, made of super hero materials or all star soccer players (like David Beckham - YUM).  But we can all experience success.  

By considering our realistic goals, manageable steps, and holding ourselves accountable, we can experience little successes every day.  I'm going to lean on my local experts to help me set those goals. For now, I'm going to start a successful day tomorrow with a good night's sleep... until next time...
